Sexual relations in the Qur'an

Two important verses here:

[Forbidden to you are] married women, except those whom you own as slaves.
(4:24)

Women are your fields:go, then, into your fields from whicheaver side you please.
(2:223)

Or in another translation:

2:223 Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your tilth as ye will, and send (good deeds) before you for your souls, and fear Allah, and know that ye will (one day) meet Him.


My annoted Saudi version of the Qur'an adds the interesting comment "as long as it is not in the anus," but surely that is not in the Arabic at all. The Arabic is not very difficult in this verse actually (unlike many other verses in the Qur'an). It basically says "however you want to" or "as you like."
