NSFW Is foreplay permissible in a Catholic marriage?
« on: December 02, 2019, 10:50:41 AM »
If a husband were to for example, touch his wife's breasts or buttocks, would that be sinful?
Is it permissible for the husband to do it outside of the marital act?

Yes it is. As long as everything finishes up in the right place. Catholics are not Puritans or Manichaeans. Since we are not Manichaeans, we don't believe in an evilgod. So this evilgod couldn't have created the physical world, the body, or sex. In unrelated news, you can drink alcohol too, in moderation. Tell the Baptists and Muslims to take a hike. You can also eat meat. Tell the Hindus, Jews, Vegans, and Climate Alarmists to jump in the lake. Moral of the story, error is everywhere.

It can be sin or occasion of sin outside the intention to complete the marital act or if the spouse objects to such touches. However, If the spouse consents and these touches are used in preparation for the marital act, then it would not be a sin.

No, and yes, in that order.
There might be some extremely strict --- far stricter than anything the Church teaches --- people who would say otherwise, but I am not concerned with them.  I cannot imagine that any SSPX, FSSP, ICKSP, even CMRI, SSPV, or SGG priest would be that strict.

Oh, come on now, a husband can touch his wife's breasts or buttocks at any time without sin.  There need not be a proximate intention to consummate the marriage act, as a certain amount of intimacy can entail a remote preparation for such activity.
