Tuvya Marcus asked:

i don't understand the reference to sochenes - by david, it was just to keep warm; so how here is it a proof of relations?

Tuvya Marcus, Jerusalem

The Kollel replies:

Living with a donkey cannot be called "Ervah" or "Bi'ah" by normal standards - even though the Torah prohibits it with a punishment of Sekilah. Therefore, the most appropriate way to refer to it is as Sochenes.
