Question
Should one be cautious about hugging and kissing during the Or Zarua period?
Answer
There is room for leniency, as hugging and kissing during the period of abstention is a matter of dispute among the authorities, and it suffices that we are stringent about abstention during the Or Zarua period. However, if there is a concern that this might lead to unnecessary arousal or, God forbid, to ejaculation, it is certainly appropriate to avoid it.
