Director Michael Wrote:The use of condoms during intercourse is an obvious question, and it is indeed forbidden for Jewish men.
However, for Gentiles, the ACT itself accomplishes the positive ACT that is allowed (i.e. maintaining attachment with one's spouse through marital relations). For this reason, there is no basis for a definitive ruling that it is forbidden for Gentiles.
Director Michael Wrote:I have checked internationally with great Rabbis on this issue. They can't find a proof anywhere in Torah on which to base a ruling that it is definitely forbidden for Gentiles.
This is very important as we live in a world with AIDS. Even if Noahides use to keep the moral high, it's good to know you can tell others, non-Noahide Gentiles, that they can use condoms.
