Okay, I've read over this thread a few times, and I think it's time I gave my two cents worth.
I see a lot of negativity and guilt being portrayed in the responses given here, and I find it somewhat amusing that the people who are giving the strongest opinions and claiming they know all the answers are those who aren't even married!

That being said, I'd like to present an opinion from he perspective of not only a Moderator here, but a woman of God and also a WIFE!!!

I agree with the earlier statement made by Silverwind 'What a man and his WIFE do behind closed doors is their own business'.

The thing we gotta remember is ANY kind of sexual activity outside of marriage is wrong! Whether it's oral, anal, intercourse, touching.. whatever.. if you're not married, keep your hands OFF and your clothes ON!

I think the problem is the way we all view sex in todays society, sure the world has this twisted, perverted view of sex, but why are we, as Christians getting it wrong too?

The bible is very clear on sex and the way in which God intended for it to be used. It is not taboo, or sinful. God designed sex, He wants us to enjoy it, BUT ONLY within the realms of marriage. What is right, or enjoyable for one couple may not be for another. There isn't anywhere in the bible that specfies God only wants us to have sex for the purpose of procreation. He never said, you must only be intimate to bear forth children, you must not use any form of protection, you must never engage in oral sex...do you see that anywhere in the bible? NO!!!

He wants to make sure we get it right, by not having sex before we're married, but once we're married He wants us to enjoy it for all it's worth. For some people that will mean an entirely different thing than for others, and you know what? That's okay!!

If I can be really candid and honest here, you gotta spice it up a little. The key to having great sex is to discover what your spouse REALLY LIKES! God doesn't want us to have boring/ restrictive intimate lives. Sex is an essential part of a healthy marriage, you gotta get it right! I'm not saying it's THE most important thing, but it's definitely important. It shouldn't be considered a 'side issue'. Trust me, if you can get that part of your marriage right, and learn to place value in the importance of sex in the relationship, you're gonna avoid a LOT of common mistakes people make. You can save yourself from frustration!

Guys and girls are wired differently, now IN GENERAL (and I say that because I acknowledge it's not ALWAYS the case) guys are usually more interested in sex than girls. Girls need to understand WHY guys are like that, and learn what to do to make it work. Sometimes that will mean trying new things, or exploring different ideas. Let's be honest, sex is GREAT, if you get it right. I'm not ashamed to say that, I love my husband, and I love sex. I have had this conversation with numerous people, and everyone's opinions vary slightly on what is/isn't considered acceptable. I just think you gotta do whatever works for you as a couple.

There are some great books/DVDs/ resources available on these very topics written by Christians from Christian perspectives. I highly recommend these!

I've kinda gone off topic here, but I guess the main point is, it's OKAY to enjoy sex if you're married (we were designed that way- God gave us our sex drives), it's okay if you like oral sex, it's okay if you don't. But let's try not to put words into God's mouth, or impose our opinion on others. There is nowhere in the bible that considers 'oral sex' as immorality, and I don't think it's healthy to portray this as being so!

I hope that helps!
Oh Kate..I really hope God brings me a wife like you someday. :)

Not to mention oral sex makes the partner giving it feel submissive or not equal in some ways.

Only if ONE person is doing all the giving. If both partners are willing to give/receive equally that shouldn't be an issue.

See, this is why it's so important to talk to your spouse about sex, to know their likes and their "you betta' not go there" zones.

If they both know what's acceptable to the other and what's not, I don't think one would make their spouse uncomfortable sexually.

Good points.. But I do disagree with how you mention people being married and what no.. I'm not married and I have a son.. He now lives in a broken home because his mother and I were in such a hurry to rush things.. I speak from experience as to why these forewarnings are in place.. I've taken the wrong path and here I am..

I believe in doing what you feel is right.. In marriage or in the moment.. But, I also see now what my pastor used to say about the guidelines not being there to control your life.. It's an extremely good point.. I think it's a better taken point then saying "because it's a sin" etc etc etc..

If you're not going to wait for marriage.. at least think about it first outside of the "moment". If you choose to carry on with unwed sex, then yes, oral is probably a bit safe. Just remember STDs do exist as well..

I believe they are speaking against it... I think that kind of attitude they have is the "holier than thou" thing that most people hate against Christians, tbh. They say, "You are so horrible, OH how God must hate this," when God Himself doesn't even talk about it -.-

Ira I just want to say THANK YOU so much for saying that. I don't think I could have said it better myself.

As a Married woman I personally DO NOT see anything wrong with oral sex.

I find it funny for whoever said why would you lower yourself to do such a thing. I don't find having oral sex inside marriage to be lowering yourself. I mean are you implying that only women who don't respect themselves do such an act? Because honestly I can say that I respect myself very much to the point that my husband is the only person I have ever been with and it honestly kinda of makes me upset that someone would see it as lowering yourself or making yourself seem lower than your spouse. I feel that my husband and I are equal.

I think whatever goes on behind closed doors is just fine as long as the person your with is your spouse. Thats not saying you should bring others into ur bedroom because that would be commiting adultry but if its between u and ur husband that its fine.

I agree that sometimes you have to spice it up with your spouse so that its not boring. If I feel that doing something someone else may disagree with to keep my sex life exciting than I will do so. But that dosen't mean everyone has to do the same thing. Everyone has their own prefrences. There are things you will do inside a marriage that you may have said you would never do before just simply to try it. I mean seriously haven't you ever heard of the saying that says "don't knock it until you try it".

SO all in all my opinion is if ur married whatever you decided to do or not do behind closed doors with your spouse is just fine. To answer the original question you should not have oral sex outside of marriage because it is a sin outside of marriage.

Well the scripture doth say that what goes into the mouth does not defile a person:

"It's not what goes into your mouth that defiles you;.." Matthew 15:11 NLT
That scripture was totally taken out of context. Jesus wasnt talking about oral sex and you know it lol.

If anyone wants to seek answers regarding sex (and related activities) for pleasure then why are we ignoring the only book that purely answers this question? Is everyone here completely oblivious to a book called Song of songs?

The male writer in the song of songs is constantly refering to a womans sexual anatomy as a locked up fruit orchard. In chapter 4 it describes the wedding then the honeymoon night:

12 You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride; you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates with choice fruits, with henna and nard,14 nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with every kind of incense tree, with myrrh and aloes and all the finest spices. 15 You are a garden fountain, a well of flowing water streaming down from Lebanon.

First he acknowledges her kept virginity, which she has saved for him as a closed up fountain. Then he describes her like shes his own personal brand of exotic fruit salad to eat. THEN, he says she is now a free flowing fountain (literally meaning that theyve just consumated their marriage).

Heres a couple of points Id like to make.
Song of songs like every other book of the bible is God breathed and motivated and therefore useful to learn from. Nowhere in this narrative does it mention at all this sexual intimacy as a means to procreate. Its all about fun that is 100% blessed by God in the context of marriage only.
Secondly, I could make a long list to the countless references to oral sex in this book. Oral sex I might add which was largely initiated by the man. Dont get me wrong they mention good ol regular intercourse enough times as well but Im just noting oral sex in this case. But if oral sex is mentioned in such a joyful positive way so often in a book of our very bible. Then who has the right to call it sexual immorality?

Virginity is not just about the physical act of intercourse. It about the fact that you have kept parts of your body hidden and kept safe for your future spouse. Having oral sex then claiming youve done nothing wrong and you havent lost your virginity is just plain manipulation. Marital intimacy is all about exploring. No one is going to have fun doing that if they know that person has been explored before. It just wont be the same..

Hey guys,
I just want to make it clear from the get go that I am NOT interested in giving nor recieving oral sex, but this question is out of curiousity because I've been thinking about it alot.
I want to know the Christian perspective about having/doing it BEFORE marriage. I'm too shy to bring this question up at youth group, so i figured why not ask it here.
So many of my friends are talking about it, and it brought up the question in my head
"How wrong is it to do it before marriage?".
If someone could please answer this for me it would be great.
Thanks :)


JOB 19:25 :)
oral sex..is still a sexual act...shared with another..
those christians who think they are not engaging in sex because it is oral..are on the same BS plane that Clinton was on when he shook his finger at America and siad...."I never had sexual realtions with that woman!!" ..

hmmmphhh..yeah right Bill..cuz you didn't have "intercourse"..wow what a fine example you have been to our children...

the christains who tease each other sexually..but do not actually have sexual intercourse..are stil lplaying with fire..


I am a sinner in many wayz...I have come to learn from my experience with sin..

Sex is a beautiful gift..given to us by our maker..to create new life...in LOVE..

we humans have degraded this gift to the point...of

abomination and blasphemy..

The lord wants us to be in a close loving trustful relationship ..to share this precious gift...

sometimes things don't work out as planned and hoped though and many hearts have been broken through the marraige vows..

sometimes these hurts can be healed through prayer and forgiveness...

I am learning much still as I try and walk my christian walk...

sometimes I falter and stumble....trying to see what is good and what is not pleasing to God..

I thank the faithful for discerning prayers...

to help me understand the will of Jesus with a pure heart

I dont believe there is anything wrong with oral sex once married, but before marriage any kind of fornication is definately wrong including oral. I think the real issue is - is it LOVE? any kind of carnal perversitity is ungodly and lust is not from god, but Godly sexual desire for your husband/ wife is. Mutual giving and receiving in and out of the bedroom, serving one another in purity of mind and heart. You can really enjoy sex as a married couple and it can be very adventurous and exciting and really i think alot is ok, i would definately draw the line at anal sex though, as i think this is a perversion and usually is linked to ungodly experiences in childhood or ungodly use of sex before marriage that causes the desire for that kind of thing. As God purifies our hearts and motives and our intentions and as he heals us, then we will really know what it is like to be pure but ultimately whats wrong for one due to a weak conscience may be right for another whose conscience doesnt condemn him expressing himself in that way with his wife before God without defiling himself or her.

If you want to be totally honest, oral sex isn't supposed to be done after marriage either because it's considered sexual immorality (same with other forms of sex). Sorry if that's too blunt but... yup. Not sure about heavy touching though.

Oral Sex is not a sin, so be cautious not to lay burdens upon others.

Song 2:3
3 As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

Song 8:2
2 I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.

Paul says not even a HINT of LUST! i think thats more than a hint no? LoL. But as for oral sex after marriage, i dont find much wrong in that. Bible doesnt say anything about that. If anything the bible sort of encourages for husband and wife 2 pleasure eachother. As long as the couple does not put sex or in this case, oral sex, before prayer n relationship w/ God :] if i am wrong in any way here, plz let me know cuz i have a feeling i might not be 100% correct :]
