Question: "What does the Bible say about MouthAction?"

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

Is MouthAction a sin if done before or outside of marriage?
This question is becoming increasingly common as young people are told that “MouthAction is not really sex,” and as MouthAction 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, MouthAction is a sin if done before or outside of marriage.

Is MouthAction 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 MouthAction 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, MouthAction 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, MouthAction is free from sin as long as there is mutual consent.

*While MouthAction 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 MouthAction.

Note: The bot cleaned up the text, so MouthAction or Mouth Action is actually oral s.ex

@mitey

So, there you have it from Yorex2011 link source

As earlier said, though not a sin with a married context (i.e. Song of Solomon 2:3, 2:16, 4:16 and 8:2 with 1 Corinthians 7:3)

it however can have a sting in the tail, as it is definitely not 100% safe

because of sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, HIV/AIDS and other STDs

which can be transmitted through it

In this day and age, do you live by all the Leviticus'? Just checking.

^^^ I disagree with you. There is equal risk of infection and STDs with other forms of sex like kissing, a.nal, and even missionary sef.

But that aside, in my church before marrying a couple together, the elders make them do a plethora of tests. Some weddings even fall through because of STDs and incompatible genotypes. I don't think anyone marrying at this time and age will go ahead without all forms of lab tests.

So this point is moot, because we are only talking about married couples who are already known to be free from infections and STDs.


The only reason I don't have tattoos today is because of that reference I quoted above. So yes, I may not be perfect, but I try my best to obey the WHOLE Bible

Wat is pastors business with A persons sex life?
Wat about anal penetration? abeg make una mind your church making money business

@macof, No be me talk am o! Someone came for deliverance, and the Pastor said oral s.ex was the cause of the problem. Who am I to judge?

As for BehindBased, no mind Seun, na ana.l I write before.

I keep telling you, you need to be re-reading my posts all over again or maybe someone should advise you to go to Specsavers before posting replies to them

Now tell me, which part do you disagree with

Also, what is the problem about now, if it is about married couples who are already known to be free from infections?

". . . obeying the WHOLE Bible" - SMH and laughing in Leviticus

mitey: By or.al sex, I don't mean just kissing, but oral-genita.lia sex including cunni.lingus(female) and fell.atio(male).

The reason for my question is that some time last year I visited a church and the Pastor shared a story of someone came to him for deliverance. The man had been having problems in his life, and so he went to see the man of God. The Pastor told the man that he was seeing something on his lips and if he wants to be delivered, he has to confess.

The man then told the pastor that he has been giving or.al sex to his wife, after reading about it in a novel. The pastor told him that that was the root of his problems, because he was using the wrong body part for s.ex. Then the pastor prayed for him and he got his deliverance.

In all my reading of the Bible, I have not seen any proof of this. I want to know if it is wrong for a married couple to pleasure each other the way they see fit.

Please don't comment if you don't have something meaningful to contribute. I need conclusive irrefutable proofs, according to the Bible, and not doctrine or emotional gibberish.

Thanks.

It is my opinion that oral s*x is not sinful. It is more or less like touching the genitals of your spouse which can make s*xual intercourse in wedlock a bit more pleasurable. But care should be taken not to spill the semen outside the lady's v*gina.

@BabaGnoni, I disagree with this part:

It is my belief that marriage is sacred before God and the s*xual experience between the spouses is meant to fulfil 3 basic needs:

1) Pleasure.
2) Procreation.
3) Bond the union.

These 3 needs are critical in marriage and should be pursued with vigour in order to enjoy marital bliss within the context of Christianity.

If the couple decide to spill the s*men outside the v*gina, the second basic need above would not have been met, hence in my view it is a wrong way of using this special tool in marriage.

With ur mouth confession is made unto salvation, Isaiah declared dat he is a man of unclean lips, de bible talked about how we can set de course of nature ablaze with our tongue nd saveral other passages dat talks about de fruits of de lips, how it bring life or death, i believe dat God created de tongue to praise nd serve Him with nd in Romans 1:26 it talks about changing de natural use of women nd men.
Finally if God had wanted us to be having MouthAction, de organs would have been placed on our foreheads.

Whoa, before y'all joyfully and heartily skip off to open a thread together

just keep in mind, that God gave us the ability to make responsible choices, ourselves

and as such, are responsible for our ALL actions

That said, one would expect any on the breadline or a faith building to use contraceptives or onanism

if zipping it up, would not be an option of the day

Presumably s£x between older or barren couples are exempt from this.

Why should the man be careful not to spill the semen outside the vagin.a?

Genesis 38:8-10 "And Judah said to Onan, go in unto thy brother's wife and marry her and raise up seed to thy brother. And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; so when he went in unto his brother's wife he spilled it[sperm] on the ground, lest he should give seed to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the Lord, wherefore he slew him.."

So your Bible God doesn't like spilled Semen, be careful lest you die

@Liv4Christ, I will tackle your arguments in order.

With ur mouth confession is made unto salvation, Isaiah declared dat he is a man of unclean lips, de bible talked about how we can set de course of nature ablaze with our tongue nd saveral other passages dat talks about de fruits of de lips, how it bring life or death, i believe dat God created de tongue to praise nd serve Him with

Most of our body parts serve more than one function. That I use claps my hands to worship God in church does not mean that I cannot use the same hands to caress or 'romance' my wife in the privacy of our home. That I use my mouth to sing praises to God does not mean that I cannot kiss my wife in the mouth, brea.sts and then downtown. As you can see, it is a natural progression.

Genesis 1:31a (KJV) tells us that And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. If God didn't want us to be stimulated/arous.ed by mouth on genitals, then He wouldn't have made it so during creation.

nd in Romans 1:26 it talks about changing de natural use of women nd men.

Romans 1:26-27 is condemning lesbianism and homosexuality. It mentioned nothing concerning body parts.

Finally if God had wanted us to be having MouthAction, de organs would have been placed on our foreheads.

I seriously don't get the rationale behind this statement. Please can you explain further?


As always, thanks for your contribution.

So your Bible God doesn't like spilled Semen, be careful lest you die

I am glad you brought up that verse, I have been waiting for someone to bring it up since...

The reason God slew Onan was because of his wickedness. Back then in the land of Israel, it was customary for the brother of a dead man to sleep with his widow in order to raise children for him(the dead man). But Onan was wicked and decided instead to spill the fluid.

In fact the reason why this particular passage is interesting is because it is actually pro-contraceptive. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only place in the Bible where spilling of fluid is mentioned. It appears to have been common-knowledge in that era for a commoner such as Onan to be so skilled in performing it.

Despite being somewhat common, we didn't hear of anyone else being punished for engaging in that. In fact if not that Onan had applied the method out of wickedness, it may never have been recorded in the Bible.

Thanks for your contributions. But I don't see how it can become a perversion and lead to sin when it's between a married couple.

wen u cnt do wtout it, and it bcmes iritatn, once a partner get ofendn and iritated wt it, e.g d hushand/wife s upset or smetin cos he wnt b able 2 do it cos d wife s on her menstrual period, or wen menstrual pain, iritatns on privates, dysfunctional erectn e.t.c

^^^ The same thing(obsession) can apply to all other sexua.l acts and not just oral se.x alone.

So no, that is not a reason to stop it.
