What Do You Think Of Pre-Marital Intimacy And/Or Touching?
Dan:
What do you mean by touching?!
How are you going to enforce such laws?
I think we should forcus on REAL issues, let's not worry about things of this nature at this point... I mean that in a nice way. :)

It is almost impossible to draw someone's blood without touching them.
That kind of touching is different isn't it?

That kind of Contact is permissible because it is for medical reasons.

I see religious orthodox women from Monroe NY for dental work...I know that i have no choice to touch their mouths as i work on them..however, I'm still careful as i place the paper napkin on them not to touch them..
But i do it out of respect...no other reason.

I've heard horrible stories from the Muslim world about how women can not get needed medical care because their husbands refuse to let them see a male doctor (these women definitely don't get gynecological care, breast exams, or pap smears, because their husbands won't let them go to a male doctor for these things). Female doctors in the Muslim world are almost unheard of, although some exist. So if women have a medical problem that needs to be treated they often have to suffer in pain in silence.
Imagine having a cavity and having it cause you pain day after day, with no way to get help because there are no female dentists. Imagine the tooth rotting and being unable to eat on that side, and waking up every day to pain until the tooth just rotted and died.
In a medical situation it may be impossible to know whether the needed medical treatment is something minor or something that may save a life. An itchy mole could be benign or cancerous, for example.
And what's wrong, in a business situation, such as two CEOs meeting, with them shaking hands? Are they going to jump on each other in the boardroom in front of other workers in a business meeting?
Doing things like this would restrict women's power in the business world.

I am against banning contact and I think it should be a personal choice and a legal ban would be intrusive to the personal freedom.
Personally I'd rather that the habit of handshakes would die out because to me it seems like a perfect way to exchange viruses and other pathogens between individuals. I think we should replace it with a non-contact gesture.
Unfortunately it seems that things are heading the other way at list here in Israel, it becomes increasingly customary for man and woman, woman and woman and even two man to hug and kiss in social circumstances (Did you see Smolmert kissing W ?).
