Jehovah's Witnesses understand the bible to permit sexual acts only between persons who are currently married to one another. In fact, husbands and wives are specifically encouraged to maintain a healthy sex life with one another.
(1 Corinthians 7:3-5) Let the husband render to his wife her due; but let the wife also do likewise to her husband. 4 The wife does not exercise authority over her own body, but her husband does; likewise, also, the husband does not exercise authority over his own body, but his wife does. 5 Do not be depriving each other of it, except by mutual consent for an appointed time
The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses does not comment upon specific sex practices that may occur between married persons. Instead, a husband is urged to be considerate of his spouse's comfort, preferences, and sensibilities and to concentrate on how he may give pleasure to his mate, rather than demand pleasure from her; the converse would apply also to a wife's expectations of her husband.
Decades ago, Jehovah's Witnesses believed that bible terms used to describe practices such as oral and anal sex demonstrated that these were always inappropriate, even between persons married to one another. Such practices are certainly not approved by the Scriptures per se, but neither are they specifically condemned for married persons. Currently, these practices are left to a couple to decide for themselves in private. The congregation does counsel couples against allowing their private sex practices to become public conversation.
(Ephesians 5:3,4) Let fornication and uncleanness of every sort or greediness not even be mentioned among you, just as it befits holy people; neither shameful conduct nor foolish talking nor obscene jesting, things which are not becoming

Jehovah Witness Beliefs Marriage

Their bases for the belief that certain practices and to be honest I don't know if they still hold to this belief . Was that certain practices were acts of homosexuals which they believe are sins and acts again God. I never agree for two basic reasons #1 Acts between a husband and wife are none of anyone business scripturally and it is wrong for them to think they are #2 acts between opposite genders can not be a homosexual act. There is only one reason I can think of as why they would want to teach such an idea.

Why has one of them proposed to you ?
The marraige bed should be without defilement. Certainly no other persons would be included other than the two spouses.
what a husband and wife get up to is up to them and is private.
I am unaware of any formal list of approved or disapproved practices. I think anal would definitely be out and even oral would be dodgy ground.
If a couple ,one or both were not brought up as witnesses then they may find that they would consider practices that they previously engaged in as no longer acceptable.
whatever they couple get up to in private it should be in harmony with god's natural law.
may i please just say that lollipop is presenting a very negative view of the witnesses and that much of the info from geocities is wrong. picking out roughly the following are untrue :
2, 14,17,20,26,28,32,33,44,47,49,51,52,54,66,75,73,79,82,85,86,91
her plagirised answer was so long i lost interest.
