The doctrine of Judaism is based on the Old Testament and the Talmud. Judaism placed in the hierarchy of importance a spiritual factor above the flesh, but did not ignore it.
In the Old Testament, sexual transgressions are condemned
Condemned are incest, sodomy, adultery, transvestism, raping. The taboos of nudity were also rigorously enforced, and the preservation of virginity and pre-marital purity were in force.
Sexual morality was protected by the law of early marriage.
Virginity was not a religious value, but the state of life in a mature woman was humiliation and misfortune. Celibacy was considered to be contrary to nature. The rank of marriage was high - it freed from bad drives and passions. The sense of existence gave birth to having children. The woman had the status of being immature, requiring care from the man, after the birth of children (at least one son and daughter) her position as wife and mother rose.
There were many rituals associated with sexual life, such as circumcision, that during menstruation and seven days after, a woman was considered unclean.
The main purpose of intercourse was procreation, intermittent attitude or masturbation was considered a homicide, because it was the material destroyed from which life could be created. That is why homosexuality was unacceptable. Sexual needs of women were assessed as significant, the refusal of cohabitation by a man was a punishment. It was also recommended that sexual contact be done in the dark, in a classic position, it was forbidden to force women, look at and reproduce genital organs, but it was recommended to prolong the relationship in order to bring the woman to orgasm.
The most popular aphrodisiac used was the mandrake fruit, also known as the "apple of love".
Contraceptive devices and sponges that caused infertility were also used, but only women who already had children could use them. Abortion was allowed only in such situations, when a woman could commit suicide in despair or would not be able to breastfeed already possessed children.
