Don't worry, Sandra, I think your hands are safe. But we should ask Doug 
Wilson or Greg Dickison just to be sure. (But since they're not talking 
to us anymore, I guess we'll have to try to figure this out on our own.)

The passage quoted by Mr. Dickison in his Credenda Agenda article (Your 
Eye Shall Not Pity 
<http://www.credenda.org/old/issues/vol3/magi3-9.htm>) was Dt.25:11-12, 
which reads:

"When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one 
draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that 
smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: 
Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her."

So if we apply this law as Greg and Doug insist that we should, we must 
cut off a woman's hand if she touches another man's genitals (for pretty 
much any reason), but not touching her husband's private parts.  I think 
the bible permits her to do that as often as she likes.
