Foreplay Between Spouses

Question
Does foreplay between spouses without intercourse require purification and bathing?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: Washing is only required after sexual intercourse or ejaculation through foreplay or wet dreams. If foreplay occurs without ejaculation, then ablution is sufficient, and God knows best.
