Jehovah's Witnesses. I'm getting the understanding that even though oral sex is not fornication within a marriage, it is still "unclean"... is this true? Why is oral sex "unclean"? By the way... why is it put in the same category as anal sex... which is obviously disgusting? I'm also understanding that oral sex within a marriage would not require congregational action unless it became "gross" with "greediness". So how does oral sex become "gross" with "greediness"? Does this occur when it is a "regular practice" in a married couples love-making, and not a one time thing? And is this so even when BOTH are CONSENTING?

In past decades, Jehovah's Witnesses had understood the bible term "fornication" to refer to ANY "unnatural" sex practice (even within marriage).
Jehovah's Witnesses have always recognized marital penile-vaginal sex as "natural", even when performed without the intention or possibility of impregnation. What is "unnatural"? Certain religions (both Christian and non-Christian) continue to believe that any sex other than penile-vaginal intercourse is "unnatural". Decades ago, the Jehovah's Witness understanding of bible "fornication" (Greek "pornea") was rather common among bible students.
Jehovah's Witnesses proved uncommon in working to adhere to a Godly view of sex and marriage, and in their willingness to correct wrong ideas when research indicated. Thus, for decades now, the publications of Jehovah's Witnesses have pointedly noted that the English term "fornication" does not apply to the actions between spouses within a marriage.
As a religion, Jehovah's Witnesses are no longer entirely certain regarding how Jehovah God feels about various forms of sex within marriage. They have noted that there is strong support for the argument that oral and anal sex are "unclean", but the bible teaches that "uncleanness" must be "gross" and likely involve "greediness" to constitute the kind of "serious sin" which requires congregation action (JWs note The Watchtower of 7/15/2006, page 30).
The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses does not interest itself in a married couple's specific sexual practices. When a married person performs oral or anal sex on his or her spouse, he or she does not commit "fornication" as the term is used by Jehovah's Witnesses.
(1 Corinthians 7:2-3) Because of prevalence of fornication, let each man have his own wife and each woman have her own husband. Let the husband render to his wife her due; but let the wife also do likewise to her husband.
A Christian who debases his or her spouse by insisting upon or forcing degrading sexual practices likely commits the kind of "uncleanness" which is a serious sin. A Christian who brazenly advocates any particular sexual practice (even for within marriage) likely commits "loose conduct", which can be a serious sin.
(Ephesians 4:18-19) Because of the insensibility of their hearts. Having come to be past all moral sense, they gave themselves over to loose conduct to work uncleanness of every sort with greediness.
Most true Christians (such as Jehovah's Witnesses) have the good sense and godly devotion to respect their spouses and keep their intimate details private, so it is almost unheard of for this matter to require the attention of any elder body among Jehovah's Witnesses.

Yeah, I asked a my own mom lol & she said it was "wrong". That this should not even come up, and we weren't naturally made for it. This is just one person's opinion of course, but it felt so good. But now I don't feel the same about oral, I don't enjoy it, I can't stop thinking that I am doing something wrong; I wish I would have never found out about this. Then I could pleasure my woman with my mouth again. So now I've totally lost interest in playing with my own wife. Thanks mom ;/

Can a Christian answer this.. that is not a JW???
Oral sex is a sin, absolutely. God designed sex to be done in a way that honors HIm, in a way that makes babies. Tho babies dont always come from sex, that was the design, and to populate the world with Christian children.
God gave us places to be used for sex, that are pure , anything else is NOT pure. PPL used to know this, but today its a anything goes attitude. First off, medically, if you really look into it, you will see, it is not even healthy to have oral sex. There are bacteria in sperm that should never be allowed in the mouth. IF you have a good gynologist, ask them, and you will know. So many things come from oral sex, be it between the same sex or opposite sex, and it is not Gods design. God gave us waht we need for sex. God also says not to spill the seed upon the ground. So, it falls in the same category there as masturbation. IT is a spilling of the seed, and it is absolute sin. God gave husband and wife ways to pleasure each other the natural way and that is how we are to do it. PPL can ignore that if they want, just like they disobey other things of God, but it is disobedience, and it brings curse. It is greediness, yes, because ppl keep wanting more and more and are never satisfied with what God gave them. More things of the world come in. Even many today that are so called chritians ok anal sex, and many other things that God did not design. IT doesnt matter if both parites are consenting. The devil worshippers are all in total unity when they committ a sacrifice. Still wrong, still not of God, and will still bring curse. We are only to agree to the full word of God. No exceptions. Blessings still comes from obedience. That didnt change. GOd wants us only in pure and holy relationships and lives. To be different from the rest of the world. Pure sex that is holy and blessed by God is as good as it gets. NEver settle for less than what God has planned for you. HE gives us ALL, if we will give HIm or all.
Never settle for the things of this world, as for a time, it seems to be all good, but then one realizes it is not, it leads only to destruction. God lvoes us and wants us to hear His call of purity, holiness and righteous living.
ALl are called and only a few will answer.....

Islam says Oral sex = Sodomy.
Doesnt matter who does it.
If you look up the word “sodomy” in Webster's dictionary, it defines sodomy as "the penetration of the male organ into the mouth or anus of another (oral and anal sex)” (1986).

What makes sex with one digestive organ any more or less disgusting than the other?
Really?
Okay, so anal stinks and its messy, but then what? Why is it disgusting? Some people find it pleasurable- why would any god that supposedly gave someone these organs care what they use them for?

Jehovah's Witnesses themselves ask these questions among themselves. Some of the traditions are just that, traditions. I really think that many of them are written because one or two people wanted them there and knew that few would question it because it would show their lack of "faith".
