But Is It Kosher?

Posted by on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 at 9:09 AM

Overheard on Facebook:

Anyone know the answer to this: So apparently docs are getting really good at skin grafts using pig skin derivatives called Strattice. There's a chance they will start using this for bottom surgeries soon. Is it kosher though if someone, well, sticks the resulting phallus in their mouth? The other question is would it make any difference if you spit or swallowed?

Um, you weren't planning on literally eating that phallus, were you?

It's kosher, but only if you walk around it three times widdershins and then tie a knot in your tunic.

Jewish law prohibits in any way deriving benefit from non-kosher animals (unless it could save your life, like replacing a heart valve with a pig's heart valve). So, I guess it depends on whether or not you enjoy sucking on the fake penis made of pigskin. My guess, though, is that there would be a lot of Jewish legal problems with that.

Jewish law: cute in a lot of ways Christian dogma isn't.

Swallowing wouldn't be an issue, would it? I didn't think that transmen could ejaculate.
