Mikvah for men

Question:

Is there an obligation to go to the Mikvah the morning after having Tashmish? What about on Shabbos?

 

Answer:

Hello,

What you are referring to is called Tevilas Ezra.  Nowadays there is no obligation to go to the mikva, however if possible it is a recommended thing to do, even on shabbos. However when going to the mikva on Shabbos one should be careful not to squeeze out any water from his hair.

Best wishes
