Is oral sex a sin?

Question

I know that any form of sex with someone you're not married to is a sin. But let's say your are married, is oral sex or sex in any other position than "missionary" a sin?

Answer 1

It's only a sin if Sodomy is a sin! lol

My Christians brethren are not into that, I hope, because if they were, thy would be hypocrites when complaining about homosexuals.

Want me to prove it? Okay:

So : To the Christians who judge the homosexual and ignore the preaching of the Gospel, what are you saying? Why does the Gospel take a backseat to your sense of morality?

Answer 2

It is in the religion I was raised in. As was premarital sex, necking, petting, masturbation, pornography, and anal... Man, I had to get OUT. ;-) I think if you are asking about it, you feel something negative towards it. If you feel it is not right or a sin, then maybe it's just not for you. Do you want to guess and be wrong? Can you live with that? And just cuz everyone here likes jumping off the proverbial bridge, doesn't mean you have to too, and it certainly doesn't mean we're right.

Answer 3

The origin of the strictures against sex and double standards if one looks at them have their roots in property and inheritance. The male in biblical times was allowed by Mosaic law to have concubines (women to sleep with) whether the man was married or unmarried. Children of that union were not children of the marriage and as thus had no claim on property or inheritance. If a married woman were to have sex with someone else and became pregnant there was no way of knowing who the father was--and whether the child was the rightful heir. Therefore women who committed adultry were stoned. If the woman slept with someone before marriage--any pregnancy after the marriage date could have been someone elses--therefore you make it unlawful for women to have been with anyone but their spouse. These traditions are not about sin--but property rights and inheritance. So in todays era of birth control and the like--sexuality is no sin.

Answer 4

Consider the following: Trees & snakes are phallic symbols. The "Tree" has "Fruit" which Eve eats. Now, why not put 2 & 2 togther, & wake up & smell the Coffee. Most Religions hide the Truth, they place tabboos on things that nature implies is natural, (consider that some animals masterbate, have what we might say are homosexual acts, have oral sex, etc, It is only non-Pagan Wiccan faiths that do this. Personally, I believe that it should be the personal choice/responsibility what they themselves do, though this implies that they are free to choose of Their Own Free & True will, & not being forced (By any means) to engage in an act which they would prefer not to be involved with.

Answer 5

The Bible does not condemn oral sex (or Oral Roberts, for that matter). If you are married to someone of the opposite sex, I think it's OK for you two to do anything you want with each other, sexually speaking.

Answer 6

The base question is: what is sin???
In my view-- anything that hurts or is capable of hurting a person, being or thing unnecessarily is sin.
while having sex with your officially accepted partner-- your spouse-- its ok to have oral, manual or even anal sex long as the partner does not detest it- nor is physically, medically or sentimentally hurt by it. Just don't force it on him/her.
If you both enjoy it--its ok
n.. make sure the hygiene is maintained to the highest levels

Answer 7

Oral sex is alright if no one gets hurt by it, and it is done in a non demanding way. It should be done in a safe, and enjoyable way, for both people, and be in a good loving relationship. Sex is important as a way of bonding in a relationship, that is how God created it in humans.

Answer 8

Oral sex, also known as “cunnilingus” when performed on females and “fellatio” when performed on males, is not mentioned in the Bible. There are two primary questions that are asked in regards to oral sex: (1) “is oral sex a sin if done before marriage?” and (2) “is oral sex a sin if done within a marriage?” While the Bible does not specifically address either question, there are definitely biblical principles that apply.

Is oral sex a sin if done before or outside of marriage?
This question is becoming increasingly common as young people are told that “oral sex is not really sex,” and as oral sex is promoted as a safer (no risk of pregnancy, less risk of sexually transmitted diseases*) alternative to sexual intercourse. What does the Bible say? Ephesians 5:3 declares, “But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity...because these are improper for God's holy people.” The biblical definition of “immorality” is “any form of sexual contact outside of marriage” (1 Corinthians 7:2). According to Hebrews 13:4, only the “marriage bed” is pure and undefiled. According to the Bible, sex is to be reserved for marriage. Period. So, yes, oral sex is a sin if done before or outside of marriage.

Is oral sex a sin if done within a marriage?
Many, perhaps most, Christian married couples have had this question. What makes it difficult is the fact that the Bible nowhere says what is allowed or disallowed sexually between a husband and wife, other than, of course, any sexual activity that involves another person (swapping, threesomes, etc.) or that involves lusting after another person (pornography). Outside of these two restrictions, the principle of “mutual consent” would seem to apply (1 Corinthians 7:5). While this text specifically deals with abstaining from sex/frequency of sex, “mutual consent” is a good concept to apply universally in regards to sex within marriage. Whatever is done, it should be fully agreed on between the husband and his wife. Neither spouse should be forced or coerced into doing something he/she is not completely comfortable with. If oral sex is done within the confines of marriage and in the spirit of mutual consent, there is not a biblical case for declaring it to be a sin.

In summary, oral sex before marriage is absolutely a sin. It is immoral. It is in no sense a biblically acceptable alternative to sexual intercourse for unmarried couples. Within the confines of marriage, oral sex is free from sin as long as there is mutual consent.

*While oral sex is safer than sexual intercourse in regards to sexually transmitted diseases, it is definitely not safe. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, HIV/AIDS, and other STDs can be transmitted through oral sex.

Answer 9

Technically yes. ANY form of sexual congress that is not "missionary" position between a married man and a woman is defined as Sodomy in the Bible.

Many church's these days do not go by all the restictions though, as they are listed in the Old Testament.

Answer 10

No. Any form of sex between a married couple is perfectly OK--even "role reversal" sex. Under the wedding bell, you and the spouse get kinky, freaky and happy together in bed.

That's love.....American Style!!!

Answer 11

be clean and think about him or her. Judge yourself, do you both like it? there is a place in song of solomon where it says his fruit tastes sweet. There is only one place on a man where there is seed.

so no it is not a sin, and yes it is a sin. Never do things in bed that you do not like. If you do then it is a sin.
