How does intercourse occur among Orthodox Jews?
When it comes to sex and sexuality, circumcision is not the only thing kosher. For more observant Jews, giving up the foreskin is just one of many rules and customs that determine when and how couples can court each other.

However, before we get into the details, it is important to note that Orthodox Judaism covers a wide range of denominations. From ultra-conservative (Hasidism) to more secular (Orthodox modernism).
And while the Torah does make specific requirements for how and when you acknowledge each other”s bibles, some cultural practices vary between, and often within, sects.
Rules for getting to know each other
There are some features that are specific to this religion, except that the physical aspects of sexual intercourse are the same for all people.
- Sex before marriage.
No. You are not a true believer. In fact, if you are true believers and do everything according to the rules, you should not touch each other before marriage. General information. This means no holding hands, no hugging, no nothing.
At an Orthodox wedding, the man and woman separate and do not dance together. Both the man and woman are expected to have sex for the first time on their first night together.
Ultra-Orthodox couples have sex only to conceive. A woman attends a mikvah, a ritual bath, on the 12th day of her cycle (the day a typical woman ovulates).
Seven steps (symbolizing the seven days of creation) essentially lead to the mikvah. They dip, say a blessing, and dip again. After this process, Jewish women are considered “tahara” or pure.
- Use of contraception.
Opinions vary. As is common when Orthodox Jews are unsure of what to do, couples are encouraged to seek advice from their rabbis.
Some sources state that female contraceptives, such as birth control pills and IUDs, are appropriate as long as the woman fulfills her commitment to “be fruitful and multiply” and give birth to at least two children.
Orthodox Judaism allows abortion if the pregnancy threatens the woman”s life. In Judaism, there are different views on what is permitted and what is not.
Some rabbis believe that abortion is permissible if the pregnancy is the result of incest or rape, or if the pregnancy is physically or mentally dangerous to the woman.
Some sources report that any kind of pleasure comes from sex between married men and women, including anal and oral.
Others say that wasteful emission of semen is sinful and that anal sex is “useless.” Again, if in doubt, couples should speak with their rabbi.

Erotic foreplay, passionate sex, orgasm. All this is associated only with pleasant feelings and few people feel negative about it. There”s a lot on the Internet.
- Sex during menstruation.
This is prohibited and considered very poor planning. During menstruation or “nidd”, couples should refrain from affectionate or greedy touching.
At the end of menstruation, women can check whether menstruation has ended through a ritual called takhara chefsek.
A woman takes a bath or shower just before sunset, turns to a white cloth and wipes the vaginal circle. If only white, yellow or clear discharge is visible on the tissue, it is considered that menstruation has stopped.
Seven days after the tissue appears free of blood stains, the woman can visit the micros, cleanse herself, and have sex with her husband.
Double. Non-Orthodox Jews are much more accepting of LGBT people. Orthodox Jews do not allow homosexual relationships due to biblical passages.
Orthodox Jews in Jerusalem
There is little information about female masturbation. If information is missing, you should contact a rabbi.
For men, however, this is a pretty big “no, no.” The Shulchan Aruch prohibits “shedding seed unnecessarily,” calling it murder on a par with any other sin in the Torah, which is more serious than any other sin.
If it is done within the framework of marriage and according to the rules, Orthodox Jews view it very positively. However, there are a lot of rules.
No. The Myth of Tallit Katan is a myth. This myth is believed to have come from Tallit Katan. It is a wide rectangular scarf with four connected threads of a pattern (called tsitsitis) hanging from each corner.
The Jewish Ultradox wears a small tallit under his shirt. To simplify the garment, they cut a hole in the sheet and stuck their head through it. Gentiles in the old villages of Eastern Europe had a large “sheet” hung on a clothesline to dry.
There is a hole in the middle of the “leaf” and you can see where the rumor comes from.
Rules for men
There are several other interesting aspects of sexual intercourse described in the Talmud.
- The husband is obligated to satisfy his wife: “Rabbi Yeshua ben Levi said: “Whoever knows his wife as a God-fearing woman and does not visit her properly is called a sinner.” Talmud, Yevamot 62b
- The husband must make sure his wife is “ready” before they begin: “Rabbi Yochanan remarked, “If the Torah had not been given, we might learn modesty from the cat, honesty from the ant, chastity from the dove, and good manners from the rooster, which first coaxes and then mates.” Talmud, Eruvin 100b
- You shouldn”t be overly modest during sex. The ideal is to connect two bodies into one: “During sex there should be close bodily contact. This means that a husband should not treat his wife in the same way as those who perform their marital duties in clothes.
This confirms Rabbi Juan”s decision that a husband who says, “I will not perform my marital duties until she is dressed, and I have my own,” must divorce her and give her a ketubah. (according to the marriage contract). Talmud, Ketubot 48A.
- Almost everything leads to the bedroom. “Since a man is allowed a wife, he can act with her as he pleases.
He can copulate with her whenever he wants, he can kiss any organ of her body that he wants, he can copulate naturally or unnaturally, as long as he does not waste the seed.” Mishna Torah, Law on Forbidden Relationships 21:9.
Now that the veil of secrecy has been lifted, you know a little more about the intimate life of an Orthodox Jew.
