: The only honest ways of a pregnancy not happening are if fertilization naturally fails or you abstain from sex altogether. The Biblical story of [[Onan]] documented his dishonest and sinful act of engaging in sexual union with his brother's wife but "spilling his seed" to prevent pregnancy. God punished him for that deceptive avoidance of one of the purposes of sexual congress, especially since it was his duty to bear his dead brother's child.

Well, it is a tricky one to write... particually as conservapedia is configured to forbid to use of 'that word.' The one that starts with M. The sin of Onan is not entirely clear though - the traditional catholic intrepretation is as Foxtrot claims, and is part of their justification for their ban on contraception, but most protestant churches do not hold that sex without reproduction is inherently sinful and rather claim that Onan's sin was disobeying a direct command from God.

In my defense, I was trying to remain as euphemistic as possible in light of facts. In conclusion, it seems odd that onanism would be treated differently from this related sin, if only because its name is of Biblical origin. (Shouldn't an entry on Onan be enough, with perhaps -ism as a subheading?)[[User:CherryS|CherryS]] 18:14, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
