OK...Sex is definitely a Biblical issue. For those that are married it is actually spoken very beautifully in the Bible. Sex outside of marriage, however, is considered immoral.
Now, for two Christians who are married, and who wish to glorify God through their sharing of one another intimately...how far can they go? What are the limits? I know what my convictions are, but I want your opinion, thoughts, comments, etc. Let me know what you think?

I am currently single but believe "as a born again christian" that if you are married -there are no limits to how you can pleasure one another. Anything goes and is thought of by God as a gift to one another.
When I am in a committed relationship this is how I feel but if the relationship goes on and on without the thought or plans of marriage, then my feelings change as well as my attitude toward sex.

The Bible never indicates exactly what a husband and wife are allowed to do in their sexual relationship. However, there are some sexual principles that we can consider.
Mutual Consent - 1 Corinthians 7:5 says, "Do not deprive each other except by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control." This verse indicates that each sexual activity should be mutually agreed upon.
Adultery is Sin - The Bible is very clear that any form of adultery is sin, even if both people in a marriage relationship agree to it. 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 says, "It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God." Adultery also includes "swapping" or adding sexual partners.
Viewing Pornography is a Sin - Matthew 5:28 is very clear. "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Pornography viewed alone or together as a couple is sin. 1 John 2:16 says, "For everything in the world - the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does - comes not from the Father but from the world."
Is Oral Sex A Sin - Practical Application
When answering the question "Is oral sex a sin," it is important to remember that God created sex to be a beautiful expression of love for married couples. When the husband or the wife does not feel that sex is a "beautiful expression of love," then changes need to be made in that couple's sex life. Evidentially, the actions are not mutually beneficial to each person. Nothing in the Bible says that oral sex is a sin, however it may not be appropriate for every couple.
Is Oral Sex A Sin - Questions to Consider
Consider these questions when answering the question "Is oral sex a sin?"
Is oral sex voluntary and have both the husband and wife agreed to it?
Why do you want oral sex? Is it for pure sexual pleasure or is it to fulfill a sexual fantasy derived from porn?
Have you or your spouse been convicted by the Holy Spirit that oral sex is wrong?
Does oral sex edify and fulfill both you and your spouse?
While answering these questions, pray for guidance from God. He will reveal the answer to you - for your relationship.

The bible doesn't really say what kind of sex you can have while married, just as long as you both agree on doing the same act

The sexual act marries one. It is those who dabble in sex and don't accept the fact of marriage that is wrong.
I think most women who get violated and made pregnant tend to agree with that concept.

I believe that God allows total freedom between married couples.
That said, if something degrades a spouse, that is sin. Even if they want to be degraded - that also is a sin. Why? Because it denies the value that God places in each person - that is not something to be ignored.

People can do as they please. But the notion of trying to glorify god through sex is absurd; sex is for people, not god.
