< No. God merely said that if there was a flow of semen, then the men would be unclean till evening.
- Being unclean is not a good thing (while not a bad thing), especially since priests can’t do many of the priestly functions while unclean.

- Before or during a battle, soldiers must not sleep with women and must keep themselves clean. It's the case with David when he was asked whether his men slept with any women, so that he can eat the sacred bread. (1Samauel 21:4)
