Third, concerning the precept against sexual misconduct: sexual misconduct occurs in four places: first, men; second, women; third, eunuchs; fourth, hermaphrodites. 'Women' means human women, non-human women, and animal females. 'Men' means human men, non-human men, and animal males. Eunuchs and hermaphrodites each have three kinds, as above. If an upāsaka engages in sexual intercourse with a human woman, non-human woman, or animal female in three orifices—namely, the mouth, the urinary tract, and the anus—he commits an unpardonable offense. If he engages in sexual intercourse with a human man, non-human man, animal male, eunuch, or hermaphrodite in two orifices—namely, the mouth and the anus—he commits an unpardonable offense. If he gives rise to the intention to engage in sexual intercourse, even before uniting, he commits an unpardonable offense. If the two bodies unite but he desists without having intercourse, he commits a medium, pardonable offense. Engaging in sexual intercourse in places other than these three orifices are all pardonable. If a human dies or even an animal dies, and the bodily faculties are not yet decomposed, engaging in sexual intercourse with it in those three orifices commits an unpardonable offense; the lighter parts are as above. If an upāsaka, even though he has not received the precepts, violates a disciple of the Buddha who keeps the pure precepts, although he does not commit the offense of breaking precepts, thereafter he can never receive the five precepts, eight precepts, or even the monastic full ordination. If one is mad, mentally disordered, tormented by acute pain, and unconscious of one's actions, it is not an offense.
