Between Husband and Wife

Question

If we wake up in the middle of the night and see that my husband's organ is erect, are we allowed to engage in relations immediately, or must we wash hands first?

Answer

Hello,

It is advisable to wash hands first.

Because it is forbidden to touch bodily orifices before washing hands.
