Genesis 38 says that instead of impregnating Tamar, Onan let his seed go to waste, and that this angered God, and therefore God killed Onan.
I have a vague memory of reading somewhere in the Talmud that there is a discussion to determine the exact reason for his death. The accepted reason was that his seed was wasted. Where exactly would this Gemara be? Or am I remembering something different?
