What does the Bible say about oral sex?

Answer 1

Nothing against it....

If there is a scripture that specifically says, "that married people are not suppose to have oral sex" I would like to know where it is. Someone send it to me.

It only says that (fornication) is sex outside of marriage. So for single people 'any' sex was a no-no. If this is the faith that you follow.

Never have I read that sex was 'only' used for pro-creation . I am a bible college grad.

Supporting Evidence:
Song of Solomon 6:2-3 Bathsheba is speaking about Solomon making love to her body:
"My lover has gone down to my garden, into the beds of spices, to browse in the gardens & to gather lilies. I am my lover's & my lover is mine; he browses among my lilies."

Song of Solomon 4:16
"Awake, north wind & come, south wind! Blow on my garden, that its fragrance may spread abroad. Let my lover come into his garden & taste its choice fruits."

Song of Solomon 2:3-4 Bathsheba speaks of his 'member' as the banner & fruit over her. In verse 3 she speaks of his taste as "Sweet" as well. 3-"Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my lover, among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, & his 'fruit' is sweet to my taste. 4-He has taken me to his banquet hall, & his banner over me, is love."

Song of Solomon 5:1 Solomon speaks of making love to Bathshebas body. "I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice. I have eaten my honeycomb & my honey; I have drank my wine & my milk."

The bible also says that " What might not be sin for you, maybe sin for your brother" Read Corinthians. So it is a personal choice.

Personally, I think couples that engage in whatever sexual acts, is between them and not up for judgement, because it is within the sanctity of their marriage, and not open for a religious views.

Man has made sex 'appear' as a sinful perverted act, not God. The patriarchs of the Old Testment used these things to control people.

All sex has always been considered a sacred act, which can also be a spiritual experience. So it is man that has twisted what is beautiful into something sick & grotese.

Jesus said not to listen to the Pharisees that say, "This is unclean, that is unclean." For what is sacred to God is considered clean and all things within a marriage was considered holy & sanctified.

Jesus said in Matt 15:10- "What goes into a persons mouth does NOT make him unclean, but what comes out makes him unclean." Meaning their speech, the words, curses, etc, they say.

Do what you feel is right in your heart. And let no "man" judge you...

Answer 2

Books don't "say" anything.

Having said that, there is a passage in Deuteronomy that specifies the cutting off of hands as the punishment for a woman who, in the course of shielding her husband in a fight, grazes his genitals with her hands. In light of that, I'd say that since hands-on activity was obviously a no-no, I can't think Moses and his boys thought much of oral sex either. Which would probably explain why Moses was so cranky all the time.

Answer 3

If it is with your husband than anything goes as long as its not a sin.
This passage is about solomon and his wife and I believe it is talking about that
Song of Solomon 2:3
I sat down under his shadow with great delight,
and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

The Good News About Oral Sex
Like anal sex, oral sex is the subject of much confusion and disagreement among the faithful. There are those who say that oral sex is unnatural because God did not intend our mouths to be used in such a manner. Others associate oral-genital contact with the sexual depravities of Sodom and Gomorrah. As you will see in the Scripture, neither one of these views is supported. Not only that, but oral sex has benefits that are of particular importance to Christians: oral sex allows the natural prevention of unwanted pregnancy and is an alternative to premarital intercourse for those committed to preserving their chastity before marriage.

There is nothing in the Bible that forbids engaging in acts of oral-genital contact. Oral sex has wrongly been grouped in with “sodomy” and the sexual sins of Sodom and Gomorrah. As we have seen with anal sex, this argument does not hold water, because the sins of the Sodomites were specifically homosexual and/or nonconsensual in nature. There is no way this could be extrapolated to argue against a heterosexual act of oral sex for mutual pleasure. On the other hand, the Bible does contain some favorable references to oral sex, some in poetic language and some more explicit.

“His Fruit Was Sweet to My Taste”
In Christian discussions concerning oral sex, the Song of Solomon is most frequently cited as an example of scriptural allusion to the act: Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. In his shade I took great delight and sat down, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. (Song of Solomon 2:3)

While the previous passage refers to fellatio, the following can be read as a metaphor for cunnilingus: Awake, O north wind, and come, wind of the south; make my garden breathe out fragrance, let its spices be wafted abroad. May my beloved come into his garden and eat its choice fruits! (Song of Solomon 4:16)

And again, the Song of Solomon urges lovers to eat and drink freely of one another’s bodies: I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. (Song of Solomon 5:1) This reading of the scriptures portrays the act of oral sex as both natural, like eating, and a joyful expression of love, passion, and sexual sharing between a man and woman.

In the New Testament, this passage directs partners to render “benevolence” to one another, which can be extended to performing oral sex on each other as part of their duty to the Lord and one another: Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. (Corinthians 7:33) Not only does this passage imply that oral sex between a man and woman is acceptable and desirable, but as we shall see, the Bible also provides more specific edicts concerning the completion of the oral sex act, namely swallowing the male emission.

The Necessity of Swallowing - The Sin of Spilling Seed
Most of us are familiar with the Biblical story of Onan, whose sin against God was that of spilling his seed on the ground:

And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. 10 And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. (Genesis 38:9)

This scriptural passage has traditionally been used as an injunction against masturbation. However, upon closer reading, it becomes apparent that this scenario has nothing to do with masturbation at all. Onan was not masturbating; he was copulating with his brother’s wife (and there was a good reason for that, in God’s plan). His sin was pulling out (coitus interruptus) and ejaculating on the ground rather than into the woman. He did so in order to avoid impregnating her. However, he could have easily avoided God’s wrath (and the penalty of death), by simply having the woman fellate him and then swallow his semen. This would have kept him from impregnating her, as well as completely prevented the spilling of seed that was an offense in God’s eyes.

The extreme case of Onan aside, how bad is it in general to spill semen? The Old Testament ranks it with other acts of uncleanliness that meet with God’s disapproval: And if any man's seed of copulation go out from him, then he shall wash all his flesh in water, and be unclean until the even. 17 And every garment, and every skin, whereon is the seed of copulation, shall be washed with water, and be unclean until the even. (Leviticus 15:16-17) Getting ejaculate on oneself or one’s clothing results in uncleanness that requires extensive reparations and atonement. Obviously one simple way to prevent the spillage of semen is to have your partner perform fellatio and swallow the emission. In fact, in light of these scriptures, performing fellatio to completion and then spitting out the resulting emission seems almost unthinkable.

The Benefits of Swallowing - Drink of the Living Water
Aside from swallowing semen as a measure to prevent the waste and spillage of seed, ingesting ejaculate can have spiritual benefits, as we will see. Although the Old Testament makes reference to the bitterness of semen (And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water. [Numbers 5:24]), the New Testament casts the act of consuming ejaculate in a much more affirming light, as in the following passage, where Jesus speaks to the woman of Samaria about the gift of “living water”:

Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, "Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." 11 The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?...15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water." 16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come back." (John 4:10-16)

“Living water” in this context refers to semen, which literally is the liquid of life. As Christ indicates, drinking of the “living water” provides a spiritual replenishment for the soul. When the woman asks Jesus where she can get this “water”, he tells her to fetch her husband, clearly with the intention of instructing her on how to fellate him and swallow his semen.

Oral Sex in Christ
In summary, we can say that the Scripture supports and even encourages the act of oral sex between loving heterosexual partners. Moreover, the Bible specifically encourages fellatio to completion (orgasm) with the female partner consuming or swallowing the ejaculate. This prevents spilling seed, which is an affront to the Lord, and also provides spiritual benefit to the receiving partner. Oral sex has the added benefits of preventing unwanted pregnancies and helping couples satisfy their sexual urges while preserving their chastity until marriage. For these reasons, all Christian men and women should feel confident and comfortable including oral sex as part of their sexual life in accordance with God’s will.
