Was there anything similar in other cultures like the cult of Cybele, the Dionysian Mysteries and so forth? Like these wild orgiastic ritual gatherings for a god or goddess?

It's very hard to say for sure, because the accounts of pre-20th century historians tend to be fairly unreliable when it comes to sexual matters.
Either sexuality would be downplayed (or ignored altogether) as something indecent to discuss, or the sexual antics of the ancients would be exaggerated to make them seem more exotic or barbaric. Doubly so where religion is involved

Krisha and the Gopi girls could be understood in that sense especially in the Vajrayana and other tantric matters
>The wise men of India have a belief that a certain particular Prana, or force, resides in the Bindu, or semen, we find naturally that just as they seek to restrain the breath altogether, or to avoid its violent extrusion from the nostrils, lest the Prana thereof be lost to them, and as they even practice to suck up water into the rectum, so that in defaecation they may be able to retain the Apana, or particular virtue thereof, and replace it in the Svadistthana-cakkra, so also much more do they extravagantly labour to retain the prime Prana of life, the Bindu.
>Therefore they stimulate to the maximum its generation by causing a consecrated prostitute to excite the organs, and at the same time vigorously withhold by will. After some little exercise they claim that they can deflower as many as eighty virgins in a night without losing a single drop of the Bindu. Nor is this ever to be lost, but reabsorbed through the tissues of the body. The organs thus act as a siphon to draw constantly fresh supplies of life from the cosmic reservior, and flood the body with their fructifying virtue.
