foreplay in the sexual act

[Bakuryokuso]

This thread makes me wonder if it might not be prudent to restore the ancient discipline of abstaining from sex during Lent.

And when it's not Lent??

No sex three days before receiving holy Communion.

Easterner!  :laughing:

So... when it's not Lent, and not three days before receiving Holy Communion... what kind of sex is permissible?? (you know... to get back on topic)

This thread is graphic and unnecessarily so.

If you have moral questions about certain activities, it's probably best brought up with your traditionalist priest.

If the OP's question was answered, maybe we should let the thread die since we have gone way past the OP's question. It's clear that a disagreement on certain issues will go on forever.

Except: no sex in heaven. Resolved!

True :P Well, it will go on until the second coming or Holy Father writes and encyclical on  foreplay. Please, lets hope that doesn't come true.

Well according to St. Albertus Magnus, "Omnis modus coeundi praeter illum quo mulier jacet in dorso, et vir incumbens ei jacet in ventre, mortale peccatum est." I'd tend to agree.

Another "clueless" guy who did not subscribe to the theory that as far as positions go "its harmless..it doesnt degrade either spouse when both are consenting."

Dark ages, indeed.

St. Albertus said something was a mortal sin.

Basically anything except missionary is a mortal sin.
