1 Corinthians 7:1 - Revisiting the Euphemism of "Touching" ("to use [someone] for sex")

The translation team behind the Christian Standard Bible has revised its translation of 1 Corinthians 7:1 in the version that has just been published. It now reads, "Now in response to the matters you wrote about: 'It is good for a man not to use a woman for sex.'"
I'm told that for the supporting materials with multiple translations to compare, used in advertising, they have:

"'Touching a woman' was clearly a euphemism for sexual relations. However, recent research indicates that it did not refer to sex in general, but rather it specified a particular type of sex: sex for pleasure with women other than your wife. 'Touching' someone was what we might call casual sex. It was also unilateral and sometimes abusive."

The recent research they are referring to may be found here:

Roy E. Ciampa, “Revisiting the Euphemism in 1 Corinthians 7:1,” Journal for the Study of the New Testament 31.3 (2009); pages 325-338.

The abstract reads:

"To date, the euphemism of `touching' in 1 Cor. 7.1 has only been examined in light of eight examples in Greek literature, and these have led most scholars to conclude that it is a general euphemism for sexual intercourse. This study examines 25 examples of the euphemism, shows how it relates to the common ancient distinction between sex for pleasure and sex for procreation, and concludes that it is only used for the former and typically has to do with a man's use of a woman (or boy) for his sexual gratification. The article concludes with a consideration of 1 Cor. 7, which argues that the context here also favors understanding the Corinthians' use of the euphemism as a critique of certain kinds of sexual relations rather than a rejection of sex in general."

Of course, whether a translation wants to keep the original euphemism ("to touch a woman") or translate in a way that unpacks its meaning for its readers will depend on the nature and purpose of the particular translation.

I confess I'm just pleased to see some respected scholars have not only read my research on the topic but have found it convincing enough to change their translation. Perhaps that should be my mission: changing Bible translations one verse (of one translation) at a time...
