Domination & submission _ the BDSM relationship handbook ( PDFDrive )

forbidden to engage in sex. The list includes:
· Gentiles, meaning non-Jews.
· Incestuous relations.
· Mamzerim, meaning anyone who is the offspring of a forbidden
relationship, such as adultery.
· Any woman during her menstrual period.
· Divorcees
Other acts that are expressly mentioned as being forbidden include extra-marital
sex, male homosexual anal intercourse, bestiality, masturbation, ejaculating
outside of a woman’s vagina, cuckolding, cross dressing by either sex, having
sex with the lights on, and males performing oral sex on women.
When it comes to BDSM, however, things can get a bit more complicated. For
example, would the restrictions against incest and bestiality forbid a person from
engaging in BDSM age-play or animal role-play? Cross dressing may be
forbidden, but what about forced feminization? Activities such as forced
masturbation, forced homosexual sex, and queening are just a few of the things
that may occupy this moral grey area in Judaism. When it comes to D/s
relationships specifically, Maimonides seemed to subscribe to essentially the
same “safe, sane and consensual” philosophy that many in the BDSM lifestyle
follow today. He wrote that a married couple should be able to engage in any
sexual acts they desire, as long as both partners consent to them. He maintained
that there should be no forced sex acts, and that sexual relations should always
be conducted with “dignity and holiness.”
