Philippians 4:8 tells us, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.”
There are many Scriptures which indicate that sex outside of marriage is a sin (Acts 15:20; Romans 1:29; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:13,18; 7:2; 10:8; 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Jude 7). Jesus Himself taught us that to desire something that is sinful is also sinful, “You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:27-28). Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as he thinks within himself, so he is…”

i don't know about God's point of view, but i can tell you what it says in the Christian Bible.
the sin of Onan - which is onerism i think - is masterbation, and this, says the bible, should be avoided, because sex itself is for procreation and obviously wanking is not, as well as being indulgent and so forth.
also what i affectionately call Bum Sex, either between a man and woman or man and man, is forbidden. again i think because it's only done for pleasure and not procreation.
and most obviously if you pay attention to the inner battles of the christian church, homosexual activity, homo meaning the same, so, sex between the same sexes. again, thins is because it is non-procreational. interestingly though, gay marriage and even gay priests are now allowed in alot of places and schisms so maybe god is changing his mind.
oh, and classically, i think its the catholics that do not approve of protective sex, for the same reasons - you are denying god a soul, and he loves souls. he wants to fill up heaven with them apparantly.
basically, the fundamentalists will have you believe anything that is purely for fun is frowned upon, although as an expression of Love, (because god is love) most things are allowed. i think this is because love is pure and they don't expect a young loving newly wed couple to start getting out whips and dildos. giving head and so on is all right i reckon, coz it's done in love and often is a precursor to the main event anyway.
one final thing: there is a bit in the bible where jesus says its okay for the prostitutes to be protitutes, as long as they don't accept money and use their positions (hehe boom boom) to turn the men to god. work that one out, coz i can't.

There is no god, but according to the Christians, everything except the missionary position between a man and a woman. Even experimenting between you with different positions can be considered sinful.
Heck, even enjoying it can be considered sinful since apparently sex is only for procreation, not enjoyment by Christian standards.
Ridiculous isn't it?

I heard a sermon from a pastor once about this. He said, "You should only hold hands and kiss once twice maybe three times before your married". He then went on to say that sex is beautiful and should be enjoyed with you and your spouse, but use common sense with the rest of it.

From God's viewpoint? The only person who can answer that question would be God. Nobody else should even presume to answer "from God's viewpoint".

Throughout the ages, man has come up with things that "God doesn't allow". With the exception of two of the 10 commandments, they are just common sense and decent laws to live by no matter what religion you come from. Be nice to people, don't hurt anybody, and the rest i really don't think matters.

There are TONS of rules against incest in the Bible. There are rules about selling daughters into sexual slavery... rules about remarriage and widows and brothers... there are passages people interpret as hostile towards homosexual sex, but actually, those are usually rules against male prostitution, rape, sex for power or politics, and going against ones own personal nature. Oh, and of course there's the admonishments against premarital sex and "sexual immorality" (a term which I think is waaaaaaay too broad).

No one can speak from "God's" viewpoint.
"A prophet who presumes to speak in my [God] name anything I have not commanded him to say, must be put to DEATH."

The act of sex is sharing the spirit and emotions. Sexual acts without concern for each other's emotions and spirit, I would avoid.
