I've long known that oral sex was forbidden as it fell under the heading of sodomy.
One *more* reason to disregard Leviticus!
edit -- Ashley, Leviticus *does* condemn homosexuality. It's Genesis which relates how god killed Onan for "spilling his seed." It wasn't because Onan was masturbating, though -- it was because Onan had been instructed to impregnate his brother's wife and for some odd reason did not wish to do so. So he pulled out, disobeyed god's wishes and that was the end of him. Masturbation is sometimes referred to as "Onanism", but it is a misnomer. Onan wasn't masturbating, he was practicing coitus interruptus.
By the way, the bible condemns homosexuality but I do not. : )
second edit -- Wow! It looks like nobody bothered to actually *read* the definition you posted, Sinyckel. Wish people wouldn't jump to answer without at least knowing to what they are responding.

The practice of sodomy is an optional behavior among homosexual men. They don't want to hear about Leviticus 20:13 or the Biblical story of the destruction of Sodom due to the homosexual activities of the men there.
Can you blame them? Lev 20:13 is the strongest punishment.

Leviticus condemns men who 'spill' their 'seed' on the 'earth', not sodomy. Leviticus condemns the wasting of sperm, not HOMOSEXUALITY.
In other words, if a man ejaculates semen on the floor, it says in Leviticus, he will go to Hell.
Any 15 year-old boy who has ever masturbated in the shower is going to Hell, according to the Bible.

According to the bible sodomy is a sin... that's why the clergy sticks to oral.

How can you practice it "unknowingly"? I think you would know for sure if you where.
