hmmm
this is part of a set of laws dealing w/ certain types of "impurity" it's not about being actually dirty or anything like that.
this is dealing with a case where a man and woman are having sex and the man "pulls out" and she comes in contact w/ his "seed" they are ritually "impure" and have...
Leviticus15:18*says: (Contemporary English Version)
'18After having sex, both the man and the woman must take a bath, but they still remain unclean until evening.'
