Song of Songs 5:2-8
{5:2} I sleep, but my heart waketh: [it is] the voice of my
beloved that knocketh, [saying,] Open to me, my sister, my
love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with
dew, [and] my locks with the drops of the night. {5:3} I
have put off my coat; how shall I put it on? I have washed
my feet; how shall I defile them? {5:4} My beloved put in
his hand by the hole [of the door,] and my bowels were
moved for him. {5:5} I rose up to open to my beloved; and
my hands dropped [with] myrrh, and my fingers [with]
sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock. {5:6} I
opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn
himself, [and] was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I
sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he
gave me no answer. {5:7} The watchmen that went about
the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the
keepers of the walls took away my veil from me. {5:8} I
charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my
beloved, that ye tell him, that I [am] sick of love.

The entire Song depicts two lovers fantasizing about each other, often lying awake on their beds at night. Please also note; their fantasies are taking place before they are married. Here in this passage we see a young girl sleeping after having fantasized about her beloved. Suddenly she hears his voice outsider her door and she awakens. She rises up to open the door her hands still dripping of myrrh, her fingers with “sweet smelling myrrh”. There’s nothing unclean or unwholesome about this. This is perfectly natural and healthy.
