Orthodox Jews, especially chassidim, have rules prohibiting dancing at certain life functions, like weddings, and thus, the mechitza goes up, so that women dance with women, and men dance with men. (Don't knock it - these things are a blast).
The chassidic couple went to the rebbe for advice on their upcoming marriage. The inexperienced couple neededadvice of a carnal nature. The groom to be asked the rebbe about the acceptability of various sexual positions that the couple could enjoy. In each and every case, the rebbe responded - no problem, it's wonderful, it's a mitzvah, G_d approves.
Finally, the groom to be asks the rebbe - what about standing up. The rebbe responds - absolutely not. The groom to be responds - I'm puzzled, if it's okay in every other conceivable position, why not standing up. The rebbe's stern response was - because, it might lead to dancing.
