Re: <<Wendy, I am not sure if you directed your question directly to me, but if indeed the man in question engaged in the non intercousial activity, he broke two biblically given laws, the first is (transliterated from Hebrew, the King James version is welcome): "Thou shall not spill your semen in vain" and the second is "thou shall multiply ...">>

It has always struck me that a corollary of the above laws is that men and women should be forcing themselves to have intercourse as often as possible everyday. Failure to do so may not, technically speaking, be a sin of inappropriate intromission but it is a failure to maximize appropriate intromission, and thereby a failure to maximize the opportunities to multiply. As such, it certainly would qualify as a sin omission, if not some subset of intromission.

Was Onan's sin predominantly sexual or one of dishonoring his brother's name/wife? Your opinion?
