[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought Christians were the religious people who had lots of rules about sex?[b] Jewish people have rules about sex even after marriage?[/quote][/b]

Really? you don'r know about orthodox Jewish practices?  The baths? No sex during a period? woman must be clean as verified by sometimes a rabbi if there is a question, and so on?  Sex on Fridays?

What are the sex laws in Orthodox Judaism?
A man may never force his wife to have sex. A couple may not have sexual relations while drunk or quarreling. Sex may never be used as a weapon against a spouse, either by depriving the spouse of sex or by compelling it. It is a serious offense to use sex (or lack thereof) to punish or manipulate a spouse.[/quote]

No I did not know those things about Jewish people.

Those rules seem extreme, what is the reason for them? [/quote]

No one is going to be interested in having a serious discussion with you about this if you (a) call Jewish laws "extreme" or (b) seem to want to use them to make some broader point about "Jewish people." FWIW, most American Jews don't follow all of these laws, but I'd like to think "a man may never force his wife to have sex" and "sex may never be used as a weapon" should be rules that everyone would want to follow and wouldn't seem extreme.[/quote]
