Marital Relations Question
Question
Is it permissible to occasionally have relations with my wife with her positioned on top and I am on bottom?
Answer
Shalom!
Thank you for your question.
Le'halcha the man the man should always be on top. However, "bemakom ha'tsorech" for example if it is desired by one’s wife it would be permitted since complying with her wishes is a fulfillment of the mitzva of Ona.
On the night of her ritual immersion, it is not appropriate other than with him on top and her on bottom, if it is not possible or maybe difficult to do so, a qualified Rabbi should be consulted.
