Leviticus : Sex (32)

  1. "Or if he touch the uncleanness of man ... he shall be guilty."
    If you touch "the uncleanness of man" (?!) you'll be guilty. 5:3
  2. Long, tiresome, and disgusting instructions regarding the treatment of men who have a "running issue" out of their "flesh." Very enlightening. "And if he that hath the issue spit upon him that is clean...." 15:1-15
  3. "Every bed, whereon he lieth that hath the issue, is unclean: and every thing, whereon he sitteth, shall be unclean." 15:4

  17. "If any man's seed of copulation go out from him...." (God's law for wet dreams)

  18. Don't "uncover the nakedness" of any of your relatives or neighbors. Just ask them to keep their clothes on while you are around. 18:6-18, 20

    Notice that in this long list of relatives that you may not have sex with, there is one relative that is not mentioned -- your daughter.

  19. "Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is apart for her uncleanness," Don't even look at a menstruating woman. 18:19
  20. Don't "lie with any beast." You probably weren't planning on doing this, but now you know just in case you get the urge sometime. 18:23
  21. Don't "go a whoring" after Molech or "commit adultery with him." (Don't you love it when God talks dirty?) 20:5
  22. Stay away from people with familiar spirits and don't "go a whoring" after them either. 20:6
  23. If a man has sex with his father's wife, kill them both. 20:11

  27. If a man or woman "lie with a beast" both the person and the poor animal are to be killed. 20:15-16
  28. Don't have sex with your sister, uncle's wife, or your brother's wife -- and tell them to wear clothes whenever you're around. 20:17, 19-21
  29. If a man has sex with a menstruating woman, they both "shall be cut off from among their people." 20:18
  30. "Neither shall he [the priest] profane his seed among his people." (His seed is holy.) 21:15
  31. A man with damaged testicles must not "come nigh to offer the bread of his God." 21:20
