Hebrews 13:4 "Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and the sexually immoral."
What can you not do sexually in a marriage?Does anyone have Scripture for me?

Check out these links to give you an idea of some interpretations with Biblical verses to back them up.

All of these have some really great info on what the Bible says about sex and the two last ones are a little bit conflicting but it gives you both views on that issue. I believe in the last one myself but I leave it between you and God what you decide.
God bless you!
EDIT: I did add a couple links after the first post.
Edit: I will explain what each link is referring to and what I think myself...
Sex is supposed to be pleasurable (agreed)
You should both have a compromise on how much you have sex and not obstain from it. (agreed)
No sex during that time of the month (agreed)
Remarriage is adultery one exception included and I think one other exception is missed, you can be remarried(reconciled) to your original spouse without it being adultery.(agreed)
Gay marriage is completely unbiblical (agreed)
Birth control should only be used if prayerfully considered and you feel God wants you to use it for a time, etc. (unsure, mainly disagree but would have you pray to decide for yourself)
The last link says all birth control is unbiblical (agreed) Please do read this because it is very interesting even if you end up disagreeing.

Fornication or porneia would involve anything gross or damaging: Also improper would be the pretense of anything or acting of anything in violation of Bible principles such as using violence, pornography which comes from the Greek word porneia (fornication).
The Bible never mentions the specific sex acts of oral or anal sex either one. However, it does warn that fornication is "sinning againts one's own body", that it must be avoided to have "good health to you" and that we must cleanse ourselves of defilements of flesh and spirit. 2 Cor. 7:1, 2 Cor. 6:18 and area, acts 15:20, 21, 29, 30
Anal sex causes injuries, infections and is why those practicing it have such problems with hepatitus (cannot be done without injury). Oral sex spreads "the other herpes", cold sore herpes to the genitals as well as yeast problems and other things. This other herpes is the kind faithful mates can get even if neither cheats.
Sex during a woman's period is also unclean. Leviticus 18:19 It should also be refrained from while either mate has an infection/running discharge. Leviticus 15 (of course doctors now commonly make you refrain from sex while you have an infection until both mates are clean from it).
To know if it is OK, in general, ask yourself if it is normally not disease causing, but natural. Is injury common, is violence involved, etc.

I have wondered the same thing. I see a lot of opinions here, but no/little Scripture. The Bible is not explicit about what is to happen between a husband & wife.
EDIT: A friend even suggested once that proper use of the Lord's Day might be a factor in enjoying marital sex, too. (?)

"besides the undeniable fact that on greater effective than one party women in the bible are being looked at as greater of goods incredibly than human beings".... the place precisely is this coming from. And so some distance as polygamy, only with the aid of fact God permit it ensue does not mean that it rather is what his command is. that's real for many stuff. And nowhere does God say that Abraham, Jacob, David, or Solomon are in any respect suitable. .

1 Cor. 6:9-11: “Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men . . . will inherit God’s kingdom. And yet that is what some of you were. But you have been washed clean, but you have been sanctified, but you have been declared righteous in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the spirit of our God.”

I'd ask my pastor, but he'd turn all sorts of shades of red! Well, maybe I will ask.... It might be funny watching him try to explain!

Do you follow the teachings of Jesus or of men.
According to Jesus adultery has nothing to do with marriage.
According to Jesus there should be no marriages.
