You know I personally don't think the Bible suppports oral sex as a sin before or after marrige. The actual act of intercourse is, in a number of places, regarded as sacred and left to married couples only, because of the joining of of two to make one flesh. I just don't see this happening with oral sex. Can you kiss before marrige? What about petting? Seriously, some folks are out to make any pleasurable act a sin.

Because they think the more miserable they are in this life, the better deck chair they'll get in heaven.

Fellatio is a corruption of the sex act, and hence it is a sin against nature, as are all acts of sodomy. In fact, it is an even worse sin than pre-marital sexual intercourse, since the latter is merely a sin of passion. That's why Dante places sodomites, which include those who engage in fellatio, in a lower ring in Hell than those guilty of mere lust.

It would be included in fornication. Yes petting would be considered so too.

No, actually, folks are out to show that taking pleasure in the wrong context is a sin and sin is sin because it is hurtful to someone. (whether they seem to think so or not).

I figure if men had warts lasered off their penises as often as women have warts lasered out of their vaginas, off their cervixes and from the backs of their throats ... they might realize that there may be more to this than some "Biblical" interpretations about oral sex.

Contrary to the nature of most posts on the subject (or on this thread) ... what happens between two married people is intensely and properly PRIVATE.

Ideally, neither runs around copulating or having oral intercourse with a dozen or more partners before thinking to switch their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual gears and pledge themselves to the One spouse.

At the heart of the spread of this disease is promiscuity, plain and simple.

"Sexual liberation" is a mirage. (That's why the State's so intent on ensuring this particular freedom ... even ruling that for-profit porn of child sex is "Free Speech" if the images -- if not the ensuing intended ejaculations -- have been properly faked.)

Restraint is the better part of freedom. It's restraint by which we keep open and enjoy the optimum array of Choices.

AIDS, warts, herpes, pregnancy, abortion and the emotional and mental scars (particularly for women who, as young girls, are absolutely encouraged to eschew their natural feminine modesty) limit a person.
