	'''Flirty Fishing''' ('''FFing''') was a form of religious prostitution practiced by the [[Children of God]]/[[The Family]] [[cult]] from [[1974]] until it was officially discontinued in [[1987]] (due, in part, to the [[AIDS]] scare). Its etymology can be traced to [http://www.xfamily.org/xscripts/bible/?book=Matthew&chapter=4&verse=19 Matthew 4:19] where Jesus says "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

	Flirty Fishing was a subset of The Family's [[love bombing]] activities and involved the use of sexual attraction and intercourse to win converts and favors. Female members were told to be "God's whores" and "hookers for Jesus", and soon after its launch as a method of [[witnessing]], sex was given to complete strangers in combination with a request for a "donation", or for a required fee in line with [[Escort Servicing]] (ESing) or freelance ESing. FFing and prostitution was widely used as a way to raise money for the cult and resulted in many of the [[second generation]] births (known as "[[Jesus Babies]]").
