I was curious what kind of hallucinogen it was, it appears to be from Rhododendron pollen as well as a few other relatives:
Slowing of heart rate and lowering of blood pressure are typical effects reported in one review of cases.[5] Dizziness, nausea, fainting, and weakness were reported as common neurological outcomes.[3][5][11] Other early-onset symptoms may include doubled and blurred vision, hypersalivation, perspiration, and paresthesia in the extremities and around the mouth. In higher doses, symptoms can include loss of coordination, severe and progressive muscular weakness
Yeah but
Later, it was recognized that honey resulting from these plants has a slightly hallucinogenic and laxative effect.[87]
So really it was all for shits and giggles
I’m a cis guy, and I want this.

Not true. The Ancient Greeks translated the Hebrew Bible using a word that meant either young, unmarried or chaste depending on the context. That’s where this misinfo comes from.
Priestesses of virgin goddesses still had to be chaste.

To add on to this, women were seen to not have sexual agency because sex was something that a man did to someone else. Since women didn’t have the man goods, they couldn’t do the sex to other things. They were also really afraid of women topping men because it ran contrary to what sex ought to be. But I bet some men liked that.
“Girl”
“maiden”
For those looking to find more, this is generally about the translation of the Hebrew ʿalmah (עלמה) to the context-sensitive Greek parthénos (παρθένος) in the Septuagint, the Greek Old Testament. The passage that gets most attention is Isaiah 7:14 as it seems to have been interpreted by the gospel writers as a prophecy of Jesus (or a suitable prophecy to model the gospels on):
