Mostly those were ritual done as a Rite of Passage/Adulthood for Boys, based on the belief that a Boy doesn't become a Man unless he has Sex with a Woman, so they allowed the boy to have sex with either a prostitute or a widow, to let him learn and mature.How far 'back then' are we talking?

In my country, it stopped after we entered the 20th century.
And of course ppl back then sees sex ed as taboo. So they do this
These are probably the rare cases where if feminism was involved for something is as it is today instead of what's said here about sex ed, I don't even know if it's a good or bad thing.Mostly those were ritual done as a Rite of Passage/Adulthood for Boys, based on the belief that a Boy doesn't become a Man unless he has Sex with a Woman, so they allowed the boy to have sex with either a prostitute or a widow, to let him learn and mature.
From what I know/remember, some regions I think still follow the rituals, while some used to follow it as late as the 60's or 70's (later these were forcefully banned in many countries because of international pressure).

We should bring back graduating from virginity by going to a prostitute. Maybe Japan can reverse the pop decline if they know the joys of sex?
Sea….what? How does that even work :vNope.
Most of the Japanese I've seen talking about prostitution are either no longer virgins and patron ladies of the night frequently or, alternatively, are absolutely terrified of it because they assume every prostitute carries every STD known to man and as soon as they even touch them their dick will rot and fall off. (I'm exaggerating with that, but not by much.)
I tried explaining, albeit in translated Japanese, that these things called "condoms" exist and protect against that and most of them seemed baffled and were skeptical that it would work and were still afraid of doing it.
I'm not sure if they just hate condoms and want to do it only raw (hey, I can sympathize with that somewhat) or they are just scared - irrationally so - of getting STDs even with protection.
Now when you consider that some Japanese schools were using sea urchins to teach sex ed all the way into the 1990s... These things start to make a bit more sense.
