It wasn't very "safe" between Mary and HF.

That's because light cotton hadn't yet been invented.

Zeezrom,

Your OP has brought up some interesting issues. If spiritual sex is okay, then what about spiritual pornography, spiritual masturbation or spiritually breaking the Word of Wisdom? It really makes you wonder.

Wut? I thought they had physical sex.

I'm so confused!

Yes, I'm getting a little confused myself...

Wasn't it the holy spirit that overshadowed her?

So two members of the Godhead and Mary were having the devil's threesome?

I do not believe that there are Mormon (Latter Day Saint variety) men who are sealed to more than one living spouse.
If a man gets divorced and sealed to another woman then the first sealing is cancelled by Mr Monson.

You are right, I think. But there are men who are sealed to more than one spirit.

You are incorrect. A living man can be sealed to more than one LIVING woman. A living woman can only be sealed to one man (living or dead).

I know people who are in this situation.

Huh. Wow!

So is it considered adultery (under LDS law) to have just one, little, single sexual encounter with your celestial partner (now, ex-wife) while you are married to another woman?

If so, would the sexual encounter with this sealed person be considered less serious a breach of covenant than one with a person you are not sealed to?

OK, back to the spiritual sex thing... I have no idea how you have spiritual sex with a person who is still living...
