Question

Shalom Rav

Is it permissible to perform the mitzvah of conjugal relations in a different position than that taught in bride/groom classes?

Thank you

Answer

Hello & Greetings

According to the law, a married couple is permitted to fulfill the mitzvah as they wish in positions that are convenient for them, provided that they take care not to to masturbate, God forbid.

It is true that the sanctity of pairing should be face to face, as the Holy Zohar wrote. And the Sages also said, He is below, and she is up, this is the way of Shamelessness. And in the Sefer Hasidim he wrote that this must be observed at least in the fulfillment of the mitzvah on the night of baptism and at any time appropriate for pregnancy that the soul of the child should come in holiness.

Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
