Cephas 523 wrote:

Hi, guys —

My wife claims that it is not permissible to touch her vagina (or vulva) or finger it, at any time. She also claims that oral stimulation in foreplay is not permitted even though it is just foreplay and will finish in her vagina.

My understanding has always been otherwise (as foreplay as the goal) is always to finish in her vagina.

In fact, she thinks it is wrong to touch me also.

  • Can you help me out here?

Paul replied:

Cephas 523,

There are no direct Church doctrines on this subject; however you articulate well the main principle, which is that all sexual activity/arousal must end in genital intercourse.

As for methods of arousal or "foreplay", that relies upon the preferences of the spouses.
It sounds as if your wife does not like the idea of these forms of stimulation/arousal, despite your loving persuasion.

If that's the case, it's my opinion her preferences should be respected.

Paul

Mike replied:

Cephas 523,

I totally agree with Paul, you articulate the main principle correctly.

You said:
In fact, she thinks it is wrong to touch me.

Hmm?

I don’t understand where she is coming from, or am I missing something.

Mike
