"There are ways to do this while still preserving the respect for the sexual act that the Church requires."
Really?
You learn something new everyday!
Dare I ask how this is done? Or will it make me squirm thinking of the pain?
"If you are talking about as foreplay, then absolutely. If you are talking about a sexual act in and of itself, then no"
I remember a thread where the question was a "session" that involved a sequence of acts.
I think the point being made was they thought they were not "contracepting" because by the end of the session intercourse had occurred, but after other acts - including os had occurred as well.
So...the man "completed" both ways.
If I remember right, they were told this was a no-no.
From what I have heard from friends who are going through some very trying fertility issues, there's no pain involved. A sample is gathered after love making. My impression was that something like a condom was used, but that it allowed some semen escape while retaining some.
But I have to admit, I didn't ask any clarifying questions. ;)
As to the other issue, hubby and I have asked about that as well, and I was left with the impression that it's a no-no as well.
