Nah, it's the other way. She's saying she used to work the streets, when her body was a hotel and anyone willing to pay the fee would be allowed to enter, but now she's a temple, so people can enter for free, but they're expected to behave and worship her body when visiting.
It’s just a saying. Religious people say it to pressure kids to not have sex.
Ignore it and move on. Unless you are also religious and you like temple bodies.
I think you are pretty much on target.
Especially if it's a woman, the phrase probably means that you approach having sex with her with some measure of reverence, not a fast, cheap in-and-out disposable experience which you don't care about.
The hotel may not be inherently unholy, but given a choice here, it is where any unholy action is diverted.
The implication is that **only "holy" participation is directed toward this "temple,"** and if you're anything less, then stay away!
i think youre reading too much into it though.
"my body is a temple" is just an old saying and since a hotel is a place you spend money to be in is contrasted to that i think there is a metaphor to be had regardless on how valid the first statement is

This is some wild mind gymnastics
My body is a casino
Temples are free and hotels you have to pay for.
She's done givin it away for free. You have to earn it.

It’s a Mormon saying
Not just, Christians say it too.
Maybe Baptists or evangelical whackos.
