petting with wife jake Saturday, October 29, 2016

Question:

is sexual touching your wife including oral sex with no intention of intercourse (and no climax) a sin?



Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r), LTh, DD

Dear Jake:

What used to be called "heavy petting" should really be foreplay to intercourse, but technically, between husband and wife, as long as ejaculation does not occur, this is not sin.

God Bless,
Bro. Ignatius Mary
