an harlot.
for.
 Of this the Holy Spirit is the earnest, who joins us to the Lord and constitutes our bodies members of Christ. Hence the enormity of fornication. (Vers. 15-16.) How basely inconsistent with such intimacy, yea union, is impurity with a harlot! It was the more needful to urge this on a city more than any other noted for this sort of license, besides the broad fact that the heathen in general regarded fornication as an indifferent act like eating and not as in itself a sin. (Notes on 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 by W. Kelly)

Do ye not know that he that is joined to the harlot is one body? for the two, he says, shall be one flesha.

JND Translation Notes

Lit. "to (eis) one flesh." In English "shall" or "shall become" is the nearest in sense. It corresponds to the Hebrew of Gen. 2.24. Eis is left out when he says "one Spirit" in ver. 17. We are really "one Spirit," not two, with the Lord. But we cannot say, "to" or "for one flesh." The two become so (i.e. "one flesh") practically by their union; they are created individually. The union induces unity in the flesh; "shall be," or "shall become" partly, though imperfectly, implies this. see Matt. 19.5. It is not "shall be one Spirit." but "he is." The Spirit which is in the Lord himself dwells in us, and is the living power of the new life.
