In the first eleven pages of Gilgamesh, up to Tablets II and III, we learn about the man from the wild, Enkidu. He was made by the gods as a double to the king of Uruk, Gilgamesh. However, strong as he was, he could not resist the call of a woman when the harlot came to the watering place to seduce him. I think this is sending a message that no matter how powerful a man is, he cannot resist a woman. I think the harlot also represents the weakness of Endiku. Maybe it is saying that every man has a weakness and that no one is perfect, Endiku's being a woman.
This reminds me of the movie Batman & Robin, when Poison Ivy sets off a scent that makes both Batman and Robin fall in love with her. While they were in love with her, they could not function correctly and save the city.
