A man, who wanted to keep the commandments, wondered if
having sex on the Sabbath was a sin; because he wasn’t sure if sex is work or
play. So he went to a priest and asked for his opinion on this question. After
consulting the Bible, the priest said, "My son, after an exhaustive
search, I am positive that sex is work and is therefore not permitted on
Sundays."
The man said to himself, "What does a priest know about
sex?" So he went to a minister who, after all, is a married man and
experienced in this matter. When he asked the minister, he received the same
reply, “Sex is work and therefore not for the Sabbath.” Not pleased with the
reply, he decided to seek out a Rabbi. Afterwards, a Rabbi is a man with
thousands of years of tradition and knowledge. The Rabbi pondered on the
question then said, "My son, sex is definitely play."
Now with mixed feelings, the man asked, "Rabbi, how can
you be so sure, when other men of God are saying that, sex is work?" And the
Rabbi spoke softly, "My son, if sex was work, my wife would have the maid
do it."
