[Avodah] De-Chokifying Arayos (including MZ)

[Marty Bluke via Avodah]

R"n Lisa Liel asked:
"The idea that sex is something dirty and
should be avoided except when necessary sounds like something out
of Christianity. I understand that MN isn't a code of law, but what
possible source can the Rambam have for this attitude?"

See the Gemara in Nedarim (20a) about kafuhu shed. Also see RAL's
article OF MARRIAGE: RELATIONSHIP AND RELATIONS (
http://traditionarchive.org/news/_pdfs/lichtenstein.pdf ) where he
discusses this question and brings many of the sources.
