The idea that young girls alone in the hinterlands were being knocked up by magical beings was a popular theme, at the time.
It's pretty funny, when you think about what it was they were attempting to explain with that then-urban legend. I wouldn't call our fictional "mary" a whore for getting some peen, mostly because I'm not a prick - and the narrative, itself, was a way to tell a story about how females were going out into the sticks and coming back pregnant -without- calling them whores. It's called a cautionary explanative.
That it got rolled into the christ myth is just par for the course. Lots of popular stories did.
