Oral Sex: What Does The Bible Say About It?

God made sex for reproduction and satisfaction.

Engaging in oral is immoral. Don't you read your bible, God doesn't tolerate filthiness he is a faithful God.

Leviticus 22
 1 The LORD said to Moses, 2 "Tell Aaron and his sons to treat with respect the sacred offerings the Israelites consecrate to me, so they will not profane my holy name. I am the LORD.

 3 "Say to them: 'For the generations to come, if any of your descendants is ceremonially unclean and yet comes near the sacred offerings that the Israelites consecrate to the LORD, that person must be cut off from my presence. I am the LORD.

 4 " 'If a descendant of Aaron has an infectious skin disease [a] or a bodily discharge, he may not eat the sacred offerings until he is cleansed. He will also be unclean if he touches something defiled by a corpse or by anyone who has an emission of semen, 5 or if he touches any crawling thing that makes him unclean, or any person who makes him unclean, whatever the uncleanness may be. 6 The one who touches any such thing will be unclean till evening. He must not eat any of the sacred offerings unless he has bathed himself with water. 7 When the sun goes down, he will be clean, and after that he may eat the sacred offerings, for they are his food. 8 He must not eat anything found dead or torn by wild animals, and so become unclean through it. I am the LORD.

 9 " 'The priests are to keep my requirements so that they do not become guilty and die for treating them with contempt. I am the LORD, who makes them holy. [b]

  31 "Keep my commands and follow them. I am the LORD. 32 Do not profane my holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy by the Israelites. I am the LORD, who makes [e] you holy [f] 33 and who brought you out of Egypt to be your God. I am the LORD."

Now if the male semen was pure, God wouldn't have told the people of Israel to consecrate themselves whenever they come in contact with it.

so the semen is impure according to your interpretation and yet that is the source of human conception? so we are all impure then don't you think?

The same passage says women in that time of the month shouldn't go into the temple because they are unclean.

God gave those instructions for the Israelites to have healthy and clean hygiene, not to be interpreted otherwise.

This is a question that has been on the mind of many, over the last 20 years I have researched it quite well, first the short answer,  The bible does not directly comment on what a married couple can do in the way of pleasuring each other, but does say that they should be self sacraficieing and looking for each others intersts, there is a verse that does indicate that it is ok though, here it is 

Leviticus 18:22      “‘And you must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing.

Did you get it? if not reread and think of this, what it is ok for a man and a women to do would be wrong for 2 people of the same sex to do, now because of the difference in anotomy the only thing 2 people of the same sex can do is oral and anal relations, so if these are wrong for 2 people of the same sex, but ok for a man and women.

Some try to say that either is sodomy even some dictionarys give an alternate meaning of anal and oral sex, but in reality that anchient city was know for homosexuality, and thus the correct definition for sodomy according to the bible would be homosexuality.

Now the long answer here is a study project I have done, that quotes scripture as well as other refferance works:

Just what is sodomy?
dictionary.com
sodomy : Any of various forms of sexual intercourse held to be unnatural

American Heritage Dictionary
Sodomy:   Any of various forms of sexual intercourse held to be unnatural or abnormal,

Online Plain text english dictionary
Sodomy  copulation in a manner against nature

Websters Dictionary
Sod"om*y (?), n. [From Sodom. a country mentioned in the Bible: cf. F. sodomite.] Carnal copulation in a manner against nature
SOD'OMY, n. A crime against nature

Many dictionarys have oral and anal sex also listed, but best to look at the root meaning so that is all I quoted above, the most important definition to the man of faith is what Gods word has to say, read on to find out.

Definition of Sex: Intercourse, and can also include any act of sexual contact between 2 beings, for the purpose of sexual stimulation.

     As we can see the base root meaning of sodomy is an unnatural sex act.
What is natural varies between different peoples and nations, to illustrate this lets look at food, there are wide varieties of food on the earth that give nourishment to our bodies, many plants and animals that are good for food, but some types of food are viewed as repulsive and unnatural by many people, some are  calf brains,  chitlins,   Liver,     Broccoli,    Sweet Potatoes,    Butter Milk,     while the mere thought of some foods make some people sickened at heart, for other people these are favorite foods, The same is true of the many different types of sexual foreplay that exist, clearly we must put aside mans view and get our creators view, what are unnatural sex acts in his eyes? We will find these as listed in His word the bible.
It is noteworthy that when he put Adam and Eve on earth he told them simply to be fruitful and to multiply to fill the earth, he did not give them a list of dos and don’t’s. From the account in Genesis we see that it is natural for a marriage to consist of 1 man and 1 woman, and that they were told to be sexually active “they were to multiply and fill the earth”. God also created man and woman with a sex drive, that would need to be satisfied.

Where did the term sodomy come from?
The city of Sodom, however, persisted in a course in defiance of Jehovah, becoming known for such immoral practices as homosexuality. “The cry of complaint about Sodom and Gomorrah,” Jehovah declared, “yes, it is loud, and their sin, yes, it is very heavy.” God therefore sent his angels to destroy Sodom, with the assurance to Abraham that if ten righteous persons could be found in the place, the whole city would be spared.—Ge 18:16, 20-33.
(Genesis 19:4-5) 4 Before they could lie down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, from boy to old man, all the people in one mob. 5 And they kept calling out to Lot and saying to him: “Where are the men who came in to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have intercourse with them.”
So here we see that Gods view is that to have sex with the same sex is unnatural.
So the term sodomy would most accurately mean homosexuality which is what the city of sodom was known for.

(Jude 6) 6 And the angels that did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place he has reserved with eternal bonds under dense darkness for the judgment of the great day.

    What did the angels do? Lets look back to Genesis 6:4 to see what is referred to here:
6 Now it came about that when men started to grow in numbers on the surface of the ground and daughters were born to them, 2 then the sons of the [true] God began to notice the daughters of men, that they were good-looking; and they went taking wives for themselves, namely, all whom they chose. 3 After that Jehovah said: “My spirit shall not act toward man indefinitely in that he is also flesh. Accordingly his days shall amount to a hundred and twenty years.”
4 The Nephilim proved to be in the earth in those days, and also after that, when the sons of the [true] God continued to have relations with the daughters of men and they bore sons to them, they were the mighty ones who were of old, the men of fame.

So we see that the Angels materialized and had sex with human women, even producing a hybrid offspring, Gods view here is that for spirit creatures and humans to have sex is unnatural.

Another type of unnatural sex:

(Exodus 22:19) 19 “Anyone lying down with a beast is positively to be put to death.
(Leviticus 18:23) 23 “‘And you must not give your emission to any beast to become unclean by it, and a woman should not stand before a beast to have connection with it. It is a violation of what is natural.

Clearly our Creator views it as unnatural For a Man or Women to have sex with an animal.

Here in Leviticus chapter 18 our creator goes into great detail of sex acts between humans, if different types of sexual acts between man and wife was important to him he would have mentioned them here, but oral and anal sex even masturbation were not mentioned!

(Leviticus 18:1-30) 18 And Jehovah continued to speak to Moses, saying: 2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you must say to them, ‘I am Jehovah YOUR God. 3 The way the land of Egypt does, in which YOU dwelt, YOU must not do; and the way the land of Canaan does, into which I am bringing YOU, YOU must not do; and in their statutes YOU must not walk. 4 My judicial decisions YOU should carry out, and my statutes YOU should keep so as to walk in them. I am Jehovah YOUR God. 5 And YOU must keep my statutes and my judicial decisions, which if a man will do, he must also live by means of them. I am Jehovah. 6 “‘YOU people must not come near, any man of YOU, to any close fleshly relative of his to lay bare nakedness. I am Jehovah. 7 The nakedness of your father and the nakedness of your mother you must not lay bare. She is your mother. You must not lay bare her nakedness. 8 “‘The nakedness of your father’s wife you must not lay bare. It is your father’s nakedness. 9 “‘As for the nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father or the daughter of your mother, whether born in the same household or born outside it, you must not lay bare their nakedness. 10 “‘As for the nakedness of the daughter of your son or the daughter of your daughter, you must not lay bare their nakedness, because they are your nakedness. 11 “‘As for the nakedness of the daughter of your father’s wife, the offspring of your father, she being your sister, you must not lay bare her nakedness. 12 “‘The nakedness of your father’s sister you must not lay bare. She is the blood relation of your father. 13 “‘The nakedness of your mother’s sister you must not lay bare, because she is a blood relation of your mother. 14 “‘The nakedness of your father’s brother you must not lay bare. You must not come near his wife. She is your aunt. 15 “‘The nakedness of your daughter-in-law you must not lay bare. She is your son’s wife. You must not lay her nakedness bare. 16 “‘The nakedness of your brother’s wife you must not lay bare. It is your brother’s nakedness. 17 “‘The nakedness of a woman and her daughter you must not lay bare. The daughter of her son and the daughter of her daughter you must not take in order to lay her nakedness bare. They are cases of blood relationship. It is loose conduct. 18 “‘And you must not take a woman in addition to her sister as a rival to uncover her nakedness, that is, besides her during her lifetime. 19 “‘And you must not come near a woman during the menstruation of her impurity to lay her nakedness bare. 20 “‘And you must not give your emission as semen to the wife of your associate to become unclean by it. 21 “‘And you must not allow the devoting of any of your offspring to Mo´lech. You must not profane the name of your God that way. I am Jehovah. 22 “‘And you must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing. 23 “‘And you must not give your emission to any beast to become unclean by it, and a woman should not stand before a beast to have connection with it. It is a violation of what is natural. 24 “‘Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, because by all these things the nations whom I am sending out from before YOU have made themselves unclean. 25 Consequently the land is unclean, and I shall bring punishment for its error upon it, and the land will vomit its inhabitants out. 26 And YOU yourselves must keep my statutes and my judicial decisions, and YOU must not do any of all these detestable things, whether a native or an alien resident who is residing as an alien in YOUR midst. 27 For all these detestable things the men of the land who were before YOU have done, so that the land is unclean. 28 Then the land will not vomit YOU out for YOUR defiling it the same way as it will certainly vomit the nations out who were before YOU. 29 In case anyone does any of all these detestable things, then the souls doing them must be cut off from among their people. 30 And YOU must keep YOUR obligation to me not to carry on any of the detestable customs that have been carried on before YOU, that YOU may not make yourselves unclean by them. I am Jehovah YOUR God.’”

God did not give Adam 2 or 3 wives, just 1, nor did he give Eve 2 or 3 husbands just one, so a natural marriage in Gods eyes is comprised of 1 man and 1 women, and as far as what sex practices the couple engaged in, it was left up to them, as long as they did not involve a 3rd party, no angels, no animals, no other men or women (as the nations had been doing)! 
 
Consider Colossians 3:5, which reads: “Deaden, therefore, your body members that are upon the earth as respects fornication, uncleanness, sexual appetite, hurtful desire, and covetousness.”  (Sexual appetite referred to here was the unnatural sexual appetite)

It is noteworthy that the Congregation in Colossia was mainly formed of non Jews (according to the All Scripture Inspired & Beneficial Book page 226 par.2), and these were things practiced by the nations, Incest, sex with children, bestiality, orgies, homosexuality, unnatural sexual activities.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 3 For this is what God wills, the sanctifying of YOU, that YOU abstain from fornication; 4 that each one of YOU should know how to get possession of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in covetous sexual appetite such as also those nations have which do not know God;

Thessalonica was apparently a Jewish congregation, for the Scripture Inspired book on page 229 par 3 refers to a synagogue of The Jews, remember how often the Nation of Israel fell to the immoral conduct of the surrounding nations prior to the Christian era, many times engaging in the same kinds of conduct that the Gentiles of Colossia had left, notice the wording of Pauls encouragement:

 5 not in covetous sexual appetite such as also those nations have which do not know God;

The nations were very immoral committing sex acts of every kind not just fornication and adultery, but also group sex or orgies, incest, bestiality of men and women, homosexuality, sex with children, anything goes among the nations, They would certainly need to deaden those grossly immoral and unnatural desires, and learn self control to express there God given sexual desires properly within the bonds of marriage.

Our creator did not give any comments on what types of contact were allowed between husband and wife, only some basic gridlines as we will see.

(Ephesians 5:21-33) 21 Be in subjection to one another in fear of Christ. 22 Let wives be in subjection to their husbands as to the Lord, 23 because a husband is head of his wife as the Christ also is head of the congregation, he being a savior of [this] body. 24 In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, so let wives also be to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, continue loving YOUR wives, just as the Christ also loved the congregation and delivered up himself for it, 26 that he might sanctify it, cleansing it with the bath of water by means of the word, 27 that he might present the congregation to himself in its splendor, not having a spot or a wrinkle or any of such things, but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 In this way husbands ought to be loving their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself, 29 for no man ever hated his own flesh; but he feeds and cherishes it, as the Christ also does the congregation, 30 because we are members of his body. 31 “For this reason a man will leave [his] father and [his] mother and he will stick to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” 32 This sacred secret is great. Now I am speaking with respect to Christ and the congregation. 33 Nevertheless, also, let each one of YOU individually so love his wife as he does himself; on the other hand, the wife should have deep respect for her husband.

A key point here is that husbands and wives need to love each other as Christ did the congregation, how did Christ love the congregation? He lead a life of self sacrifice for it, for there benefit, even laying down his own life for the benefit of all his sheep, clearly if husband and wife are willing to practice this spirit of self sacrifice in every aspect of their marriage( but also in matters of sexual intimacy) they will forge a healthy and strong union.

The sex drive can be strong in men and in women and so Paul counseled:   

(1 Corinthians 7:1-5) 7 Now concerning the things about which YOU wrote, it is well for a man not to touch a woman; 2 yet, because of prevalence of fornication, let each man have his own wife and each woman have her own husband. 3 Let the husband render to [his] wife her due; but let the wife also do likewise to [her] husband. 4 The wife does not exercise authority over her own body, but her husband does; likewise, also, the husband does not exercise authority over his own body, but his wife does. 5 Do not be depriving each other [of it], except by mutual consent for an appointed time, that YOU may devote time to prayer and may come together again, that Satan may not keep tempting YOU for YOUR lack of self-regulation.

Notice that Pual did not say "kill your sex drive", but to marry.
It is very important that husband and wife care for each others sexual needs, and not with hold it, as Paul mentioned above, as an imperfect humans, have, and often go else where for sexual satisfaction, if not cared for by there mate!

    What has the society acknowledged about foreplay between husband and wife?

It must be acknowledged that the Bible does not give any specific rules or limitations as regards the manner in which husband and wife engage in sexual relations,

A careful further weighing of this matter, however, convinces us that, in view of the absence of clear Scriptural instruction, , that these marital intimacies do not come within the province of the congregational elders,

[Footnotes]
Reference has been made to the apostle’s statements at Romans 1:24-27 regarding “the natural use” of male and female bodies. As is evident and has been consistently acknowledged, these statements are made in the context of homosexuality. They do not make any direct reference to sexual practices by husband and wife. It must also be acknowledged that even those loving expressions that are completely normal and common  between husband and wife would be “unnatural” for persons of the same sex and immoral for unmarried people.

Lets also take a closer look at one verse here in Leviticus 18:22      “‘And you must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing.

Another in Leviticus 20:13  13 “‘And when a man lies down with a male the same as one lies down with a woman, both of them have done a detestable thing. They should be put to death without fail. Their own blood is upon them.

From these two verses we see that what it is ok for a husband and wife to do, would be wrong and unnatural for 2 people of the same sex.

From reading the many specific restrictions placed on sexual contact as mentioned in Leviticus chapters 18 and 20, if there were types of sexual contact between husband and wife that were wrong Jehovah God would have mentioned them there.

Bros, 20 years? Na wah o. Anyway sha, your conclusion dey reasonable; so we fit talk say di tme no be waste. But like no good; 20 years to dey research dis kain thing,  na wah o.

This is an old post but I felt compelled to respond.  The bible does not condemn oral sex between husband and wife.  It is a decision left to the couple to decide.  I have added the following scripture as illustration:

Hebrews 13
 
4.  Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

Yeah, a husband and wife can swing from a chandelier if they like.   

i don't do that.  I was trying to be funny to let her know that Oral sex (sodomy) is not the only thing a wife can do to hold/please her husband/man.

Peace

Reverend.

How does the congregation at your church manage to sing their hymns with their mouths full?


Not according to the Bible. God commanded that the Hebrews could rape any woman in a city that fell to them in battle.
But then I guess that doesn't sound as romantic, does it?

(Judges 21:10-24 NLT)
So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-gilead with orders to kill everyone there, including women and children.  "This is what you are to do," they said. "Completely destroy all the males and every woman who is not a virgin."  Among the residents of Jabesh-gilead they found four hundred young virgins who had never slept with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan.

 The Israelite assembly sent a peace delegation to the little remnant of Benjamin who were living at the rock of Rimmon. Then the men of Benjamin returned to their homes, and the four hundred women of Jabesh-gilead who were spared were given to them as wives.  But there were not enough women for all of them.  The people felt sorry for Benjamin because the LORD had left this gap in the tribes of Israel.  So the Israelite leaders asked, "How can we find wives for the few who remain, since all the women of the tribe of Benjamin are dead?  There must be heirs for the survivors so that an entire tribe of Israel will not be lost forever.  But we cannot give them our own daughters in marriage because we have sworn with a solemn oath that anyone who does this will fall under God's curse."

 Then they thought of the annual festival of the LORD held in Shiloh, between Lebonah and Bethel, along the east side of the road that goes from Bethel to Shechem.  They told the men of Benjamin who still needed wives, "Go and hide in the vineyards.  When the women of Shiloh come out for their dances, rush out from the vineyards, and each of you can take one of them home to be your wife!  And when their fathers and brothers come to us in protest, we will tell them, 'Please be understanding.  Let them have your daughters, for we didn't find enough wives for them when we destroyed Jabesh-gilead. And you are not guilty of breaking the vow since you did not give your daughters in marriage to them.'"  So the men of Benjamin did as they were told.  They kidnapped the women who took part in the celebration and carried them off to the land of their own inheritance.  Then they rebuilt their towns and lived in them.  So the assembly of Israel departed by tribes and families, and they returned to their own homes.

 

(Numbers 31:7-18 NLT)
They attacked Midian just as the LORD had commanded Moses, and they killed all the men.  All five of the Midianite kings – Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba – died in the battle.  They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword.  Then the Israelite army captured the Midianite women and children and seized their cattle and flocks and all their wealth as plunder.  They burned all the towns and villages where the Midianites had lived.  After they had gathered the plunder and captives, both people and animals, they brought them all to Moses and Eleazar the priest, and to the whole community of Israel, which was camped on the plains of Moab beside the Jordan River, across from Jericho.
Moses, Eleazar the priest, and all the leaders of the people went to meet them outside the camp.  But Moses was furious with all the military commanders who had returned from the battle.  "Why have you let all the women live?" he demanded.  "These are the very ones who followed Balaam's advice and caused the people of Israel to rebel against the LORD at Mount Peor.  They are the ones who caused the plague to strike the LORD's people.  Now kill all the boys and all the women who have slept with a man.  Only the young girls who are virgins may live; you may keep them for yourselves.

(Deuteronomy 20:10-14)
 As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace.  If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor.  But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town.  When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town.  But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder.  You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you.

(Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT)
If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father.  Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.

(Deuteronomy 21:10-14 NAB)
"When you go out to war against your enemies and the LORD, your God, delivers them into your hand, so that you take captives, if you see a comely woman among the captives and become so enamored of her that you wish to have her as wife, you may take her home to your house.  But before she may live there, she must shave her head and pare her nails and lay aside her captive's garb.  After she has mourned her father and mother for a full month, you may have relations with her, and you shall be her husband and she shall be your wife.  However, if later on you lose your liking for her, you shall give her her freedom, if she wishes it; but you shall not sell her or enslave her, since she was married to you under compulsion."

(Judges 5:30 NAB)
They must be dividing the spoils they took: there must be a damsel or two for each man, Spoils of dyed cloth as Sisera's spoil, an ornate shawl or two for me in the spoil.


(Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB)
Lo, a day shall come for the Lord when the spoils shall be divided in your midst.  And I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle: the city shall be taken, houses plundered, women ravished; half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be removed from the city.


Yes. May god have mercy indeed.

That's one way to look at it I guess.
But it's the way that deifies historical evidence and logic.

The Hebrew tribes were no different from any other nomadic tribe back then. Women were viewed as property. Their virginity only mattered because they would be better child-producers in that state and less likely to cause trouble. Your claim that virgins were spared because of their virtue is totally destroyed by the fact that innocent children were seen as fair game to be murdered. They would have been virgins too.

I guess god didn't class children and babies as innocent.

Anyway, you've only addressed one of those passages. The rest speak for themselves.

Wicked pipu. They have driven Reverend away. 

Well said, dafidixione. (incidentally,we share the same name!)
I really dont think this should be a frontline issue. The fact that it wasnt clearly stated in the bible doesnt mean anything. Afterall does same bible say anything abt sexual postions? I think topics like this are just too trivial for the bible to start saying anythin about. What any couple decides to do in the confines of their bedroom is entirely up to them, as long as its mutually consented.

There is a point of absolute rediculousness & idioticy that some people should absolutely stay away from, especially when you talk about natural subject matters and try to use the word of God to justify your answers that you truly know have no validity. God said in His word that marraige is "honorable" & the bed is "undefiled", and as long as there is mutual agreement between the husband and his wife that there is pleasure in both giving and recieving, then God will get the glory. It should also be noted that any type sex is only meant for the man & woman in the confines of marraige. To suggest that anal or oral sex is ok for unmarried couples who cannot contain themselves, or that it is a legitimate substitute until you can be married and engage in intercourse is emnity against God's word and absolutely wrong! Until a man & a woman exchange vows, it is a sin for them to touch any aspect of sex. The word of God is not a sex manual, but if you ask the Holy Ghost what is right & what is wrong He will tell you what is right, and convict you of what is wrong.

@ poster.
Actually this question has being one the controvesial Questions in the christendom,
Have tried many to seek answers to these, Oral, anal sex, which we might say that
gave birth to Lesbianism and Gay relationships,
If you read the book of Romans 1:26-28 which says:

26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

 27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

 28And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

From the passage you will ask yourselve
1.wht are the natural use which bible was talking abt here?
2. Wht are the Unatural?
3. Since bible stated clear in vs 26 and 27 abt women being with women and men with men and clearly condemned the act in vs 28, so ask yourself will bible accept the practices that are involve under these immoral act?
B4 you arrive at the answer to these 3 questions you will be able to find an answer for urself if and only if you are being true to urself

This is a matter that has to be treated with carefulness, coz we should not forget that the greatest crime on earth is a crime against nature which we normally see as abominations,

@OP
Bible said nothing about oral sex between a husband and the wife.
They are for each other,it now depends on how they want it.
