As a religion, Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe the bible to comment upon loving, consensual sexual practices between a husband and wife. The Christian congregation certainly does not “police” the private marital matters of couples in the congregation.

However, godly persons recognize that it is possible to defile the "marriage bed" when a married person enforces degrading practices upon his spouse, or advocates shocking deviant practices to others.

(1 Peter 3:7) You husbands, continue dwelling in like manner with [your wives] according to knowledge, assigning them honor as to a weaker vessel, the feminine one

(Hebrews 13:4) Let marriage be honorable among all, and the marriage bed be without defilement


Of course, these private matters are best left for sober discussion by marriage mates, and by prospective marriage mates. A Christian who insisted on otherwise discussing details of his sex life would likely disqualify himself for privileges in the congregation. Christians should keep in mind that degrading sexual practices may constitute "uncleanness", and brazenly advocating deviant sexual practices may constitute "loose conduct" (JWs see The Watchtower of 3/15/1983, p.30-31).

(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


The bible term "fornication" refers to sex outside of marriage, and includes oral, anal, and vaginal sex, as well as assisted masturbation between persons not married to one another.

i think your being cheeky!

But guess what the answer is Yes! Jehovah's Witnesses do NOT have oral sex (or if they do face being disphellowshipped and subsequently shunned for it!)

You see they translate one word in the new testament 'pornea' to mean that oral sex is immoral.

Yes folks, the watchtower bible and tract society will dictate to Jehovah's Witnesses what sort of sex acts are allowable and which ones aren't

EDITED TO ADD...
As for the comment beneath mine it is simply NOT true. The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society have called oral sex a despicable act. I have been to enough meetings and heard it many times! No matter if it is within the confines of marriage or not.
