Ahh, I feel almost guilty now, as though I were telling you you were "wrong" or something, haha. To be fair it's merely my opinion but I feel strong enough about it being close enough the the lore's intentions that I sometimes feel defensive when I see miqo'te portrayed as something a bit "less" than the other typical races. I still see them all as individuals who make their own choices but I don't think that their lore really suggests that they are hedonistic by nature.

The miqo'te dancing girls in Ul'dah, miqo'te prostitutes in Limsa Lominsa, and so on aren't suggestive in that regard?In all seriousness, though, I think it seems to be more that there's a stereotype of miqo'te being hedonistic  (certainly among RPers) which is, like most stereotypes, not really accurate.
The dancing girls don't really strike me as something suggestive. To be fair, I attribute a degree of their more common portrayal as favouritism because many people like the idea of "cat girls" and so I really think that they are merely appealing to aesthetics. As far as I have seen, there have been portrayals of prostitutes for other races too with exception to lalafel(thankfully) and males, but just because you don't see either of them around I wouldn't just assume that non-lalafels and females in general are more hedonistic than males.
Though I am bringing this a little off-topic, sorry for that OP and everyone else.
