[net.religion.jewish] On "That Place"

hjb@hlwpc.UUCP (HJ Bassman) (09/08/85)

Looks like there are a lot of worried folks out there.
Perhaps interest in laws regarding cunnilingus is more
than an intellectual exercise?  The response that restricts
the definition of "that place", which is forbidden to even look at" as
applicable solely to the vagina and not to other
portions of the mons veneris, hence making it permissible
to perform cunnilingus as long as you "don't go too deep" 
sounds like the little boy saying
he'll only masterbate until he needs glasses.

Seriously, what about an observant male Jew who is also a medical
student:  must he excuse himself from classes or physical examinations
that involve womens' sexual organs?  Can he become an obstetrician or
gynecologist if it's forbidden to look at a vagina?
