whoremongery

1. (more generally) The act of engaging in illicit sexual relations.Examples: "In ch. xxi. 8 whoremongery is considered under the aspect of an injury done to a neighbour."; "Hence the sanctification of the sexual appetite can be regarded as only a single purpose, for which there is not even a point of resemblance in the parallel with the church and her Head, not as the principle task of Christian family morals (Schenkel), as if marriage were ordained as a safeguard against whoremongery or carnal excess, when this is but a single object, or rather a coincident result, even though the main matter is this work of sanctification."; "The only lawful sexual connection is the marriage bed. All other sex activity is whoremongery and adultery, which will damn the soul forever in Hell."broadlyuncountable
