I've no doubts that much of it is fanservice. However, it being fanservice doesn't exclude it from being part of the lore too.
I wouldn't call Sun Seekers promiscuous. Sex has a cultural role for them. Promiscuity is likely not a concept to them, because the ideal of having a single partner for a lifetime doesn't apply to their culture.
I figure Miqo'te prostitutes would be looked down on by other members of their race just like any other prostitute, but likely for completely different reasons. Instead of judging them for the sex itself, it'd likely be due to who it's with, and because it's not conductive to the continuation of the tribe.
Hell, they're likely to frown upon monogamous relationships for the same reason.
