I didn't want to mention it, but since you've repeatedly stressed this same Onan story, it is worthwhile pointing out that to most married people, the term "oral sex" is shorthand for oral stimulation as a part of foreplay.

Not that I buy that interpretation of the Onan story anyway. Has it not occurred to anyone writing on the subject that Onan denied the woman a baby which she wanted, and to which she was entitled under the law? That seems a MUCH worse sin than a mis-directed emission.

If oral sex in marriage is a sin, then I'm a DEAD MAN!
(especially if my wife finds out I posted this)

The punishment for simply denying the woman the child is given by Moses in Deuteronomy 25:8-10 and it is not death.
