“Yes, and if there is an issur here, it is gilui arayos.
Lo sikrivu is generally considered to be yehareg v’al yaavor.”
Really? I was always under the impression that the only thing that is assur is the actual maseh of giluy arayos… As I recall the Gemara even says a woman does not have to give up her life because she is “karka bi’oilam” and (without getting too technical) is not doing a maseh per say.
Btw, rereading my previous comment I realized that the “Um…” could be taken as sign of a condensing tone, instead of the confused tone it was meant to convey. I apologize if it was taken wrongly.
