BIBLICAL EVIDENCE PLEASE. I personally loathe the very idea of anal or oral sex as I believe and am convinced that it is unclean and an unclean area of the body and my wife and I only engage in 'standard' and 'modest' activities and achieve the same intended results, but I was recently ask about this by a youth of my church. They sadly were not convinced and many other individuals over the years have had mixed opinions on this. What are your thoughts and can you provide more biblical evidence on this for me to add to my 'resources'?

The husband and wife that were both virgins, are totally clean, and the marriage bed undefiled, but I still think there are some things that go on in the bedroom that are just not right in the eyes of GOD. Your conscious will let you know, because you will feel dirty about the act. So yes I think it is WRONG....

Well, at least as far as your wife and you are concerned, it sounds like you are both convicted that it is wrong and not glorifying to God in your relationship -- so for you, it's definitely wrong no matter what other conclusions are drawn.
I don't recall any specific passages about oral & anal intercourse. Maybe I'm wrong and there's something buried in Leviticus somewhere; but then again, those were the rules of the theocracy of Israel and not the legal code of the United States or any other country, and we're forced to determine the principles behind the rules in order to determine how to behave.
One difference between oral intercourse and anal intercourse, versus genital intercourage, is that the genital route involves both the sexual experience as well the procreative act. So along with pleasure comes the notion of commitment to the family structure (ideally). At least before birth control became so prominent, intercourse necessarily involved a commitment and intimacy between two people; you literally were putting your future in each other's hands.
When you shift into other types of intercourse, the sexual act becomes more about pleasure, which can easily be twisted into self-service.
And we know that sex where the other person is simply a device being used to pleasure oneself is wrong, because it is not viewing the other person as someone with equal dignity and created in the image of God.
[There are of course obvious issues with the "anal" thing for many people, considering it's an expulsive channel involving human waste, and that simply grosses many people out.]
Is it possible for someone to indulge in either type of sexual activity for the pleasure of the other person? Well, possibly. Again, all I've have determined so far myself is what I've said above -- if you are using the other person as simply a means of self-stimuation, or if you are allowing THEM to use YOU simply as a means of self-stimulation, then you're not really having intimate intercourse.
Sex is supposed to be pleasurable, but a big part of that is supposed to be the idea that the other human being is indispensible rather than interchangeable.
In terms of advising youths? This might seem like a cop-out, but I would rather focus on the idea that sexuality for them is something to explore inside of marriage -- at least in the practical sense. If they actually need an answer now, then there are problems.
If they're just asking because they're curious, I do think you should share your personal preferences and why you believe what you do, but I would preface them as your ideas.

"God destroyed the practisers of non procreative sex in Sodom and Gomorrah with fire from the Sky"
Can you show a scripture where God says that was the reason for destroying those cities?
It's interesting that for several years, Jehovah's Witnesses could divorce their spouse if one wanted to engage in oral sex. Many JW's did this and later remarried with the blessing of the church. Later, the JW leaders changed their policy, leaving those who had already ended their marriages and married others in a questionable state.
If you "loathe the idea" of something, and both of you feel the same way, why does it matter what others think?

Anal sex is indeed bacteria laden. But oral sex is another matter. The male genitals are not especially germy, particularly when one showers regularly. But the mouth, THAT is! It's a wonder people even kiss!
There is a passage in the Song of Solomon that is interpreted as being about Oral Sex. It goes something like this: The woman is speaking of her lover and says, "I sat down beneath his tree, and his fruit was sweet to taste." Was it a banana, I wonder?

I am surprised that as a devoted Christan, you are not familiar with the stories of Sodom and Gomorrah, the two cities destroyed by God. To this day, we still use the word "sodomy" in our language and there are laws against such an act, at least technically. By the way, although I am not a believer, I admire your devotion to your faith. I can't say that to a lot of the church leaders who have been paying some very hefty sums of money to settle molestation charges. Can you blame some of our younger people for losing faith?

I dont think it helps to paint things into some clean or unclean corner.
People should be (and are) free to be whoever they want to be and as a result free to do as they so wish.
I just dont get the whole make people feel guilty or bad thing, I just dont get it at all.

I have no idea but I feel like if it's something you and your wife want to do then go for it if it's wrong and you love GOD and you follow him then he will let you know that it is something he approves of... GOD made sex and when to people who are married should enjoy each other in what ever way is pleasing to them.......that's my opinion no biblical prove but i do love the lord and follow his word....
