Apologies for the crudeness of the question, but the way I see it a woman having intercourse daily would lead to pregnancy quite often which couldn't have been profitable for the brothel. Abortions were not completely safe procedures and I imagine raising the child might be costly in both resource and opportunity cost for someone in this line of work. So my questions are:

- What kind of methods did women in this line of work use to avoid being constantly pregnant.

- How often would one of these workers get pregnant?

- How was that child dealt with if born?

I imagine many cultures in many different times had enough different practices to fill a room, so Im more interested in the context of Western Europe in the middle ages.
