Marital Relations Alongside the Prohibition of Looking at the Genital Area?
Question
I hope this question isn’t too rude. I’m genuinely asking because I want to know, and I don’t mean to troll.
If there is a prohibition against looking at the genital area, then how is a man supposed to know in bed… what to put where? What do married couples do (at least the first few times)?
I’m already an adult and I have no idea, and ever since I thought of this question I’ve been trying to think of a good forum to ask it in..
Thank you
Answer
It can be done without looking. Beyond that, if one looks in order to actually be able to have intercourse successfully, there is no prohibition at all.
