Do Not Approach in the Case of an Unmarried Woman
Question
Hello Rabbi,
Is there a prohibition of “do not approach to uncover nakedness” with an unmarried woman who has immersed in a mikveh?
Answer
The prohibition applies to forbidden sexual relations.
Discussion on Answer
Aside from the fact that I was asked a specific question, I’m not writing a Shulchan Arukh here on sexual relations. For that there are various overviews online or books. If there’s a specific question, you can ask it (preferably after checking information that’s easily accessible).
Forgive me for butting in.
But in my humble opinion, it would be better if the Rabbi explained more—what is permitted, and especially what is forbidden.
Since I myself didn’t understand exactly, it’s likely there are many others too; some of them want all kinds of things and might say they’re relying on a great authority…
