Answer 5

no and no.

Sexuality and intimacy are the provinces of a sanctioned marriage for both parties.

Answer 6

No, according to Orthodox Judaism, premarital s*x is NOT okay, and that standard applies to everyone. My husband and I had a secular marriage so I could get on his health insurance about 8 months before we had our Orthodox wedding ceremony and signed the ketubah etc, and we lived together as man and wife before the religious wedding. Our rabbi was VERY unhappy about that, he felt that even though we were legally married we shouldn't be having s*x until we were married under G-d.

Answer 7

in later Judaism it is consider bad, but not a sin that must be punished. in the law of Moshe and Israel, the Torah, there is not a general law that forbid. however, it is a deadly sin for a girl to marry a man that his intention to marry a virgin.

read here the law:

Deuteronomy  22

But if this thing be true,  virginity be not found for the damsel:

Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the w***e in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you.

  If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, [both] the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel.

  If a damsel [that is] a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;

Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, [being] in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.

But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die:

But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; [there is] in the damsel no sin [worthy] of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so [is] this matter:

For he found her in the field, [and] the betrothed damsel cried, and [there was] none to save her.

  If a man find a damsel [that is] a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;

Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty [shekels] of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

Answer 8

You know the answer yourself, what do you try to achieve with your question (reminding the people answering about the fact?)?

Answer 9

It is clearly said that s*x is acceptable only in marriage.

Answer 10

No, it isn't. There are not different standards, at least in concept, as both men and women are expected to put off s*x until marriage.

Answer 11

s*x is permissible only within the context of a marriage. In Judaism, s*x is not merely a way of experiencing physical pleasure. It is an act of immense significance, which requires commitment and responsibility. The requirement of marriage before s*x ensures that sense commitment and responsibility. Jewish law also forbids sexual contact short of intercourse outside of the context of marriage, recognizing that such contact will inevitably lead to intercourse.

In Jewish law, s*x is not considered shameful, sinful or obscene. s*x is not a necessary evil for the sole purpose of procreation. Although sexual desire comes from the yetzer ra (the evil impulse), it is no more evil than hunger or thirst, which also come from the yetzer ra. Like hunger, thirst or other basic instincts, sexual desire must be controlled and channeled, satisfied at the proper time, place and manner. But when sexual desire is satisfied between a husband and wife at the proper time, out of mutual love and desire, s*x is a mitzvah.
