I know sex outside of marriage is a sin according to the Bible, but what about the varied sexual activities between a husband & wife? I.E.

Oral sex
Anal sex
Mutual masturbation
Non-missionary sexual positions
Sex toys
Watching pornography together
Bondage
Fantasy dress-up/Role playing
Role reversal

My religion has, to my knowledge, left sexual activity as something between the husband, the wife, and God. Although, pornography falls outside the bounds of marriage due to the fact that pornography involves the model photographed as well.

My personal opinion is that if it strengthens the relationship between the husband and wife it is good. There are involuntary processes that cause orgasm (e.g. Wet Dreams, etc.) IMO there is no reason to believe that non-procreating sexual relations are harmful if the husband and wife become closer through the act.

"My religion has, to my knowledge, left sexual activity as something between the husband, the wife, and God" Sounds like a threesome there Regret...

Ok, clown retorts aside... The book of Mormon does not condemn "non-procreaional sex"? That is interesting, I always took Mormons for being somewhat uptight, go figure.

But they still condem homosexual sex between consenting adults.

I am sure that various authorities have made comments against some activities in the past, but officially there hasn't been a statement against anything that I am aware of. Good thing too, I enjoy the physical aspects of marriage quite a bit wink ....

Happy Dance

...of marriage?

How about the physical aspects of being human.

Regret
Originally posted by Alliance

Yes, because it falls outside the bounds of marriage, and the religion does not recognize homosexual marriage, and so cannot be acceptable wink I'm sure we also just plain believe it is wrong, but I haven't found reference to that, just to the marriage guideline for sexual relations.

I know, but what I am talking about is, is there/can there be sexual sin between a husband and wife according to Christianty.

I believe learning control/restraint to be a part of the experience of being human, proper time/context is necessary for proper results in most things.

Alliance
And I believe part of being human exists beyond the realm of restraint.

Yes it is. You apply it to aspect of yourself...and not to others.

Hmmm. Yellow skin... a sign of onset HIV.

Yellow skin usually means jaundice, not that that is a bonus in a potential mate

I believe anal and porn would both be a no-no.

But why? The couple is married, does the Bible specify these two things compared to the others I have posted? I can see how porn is different than the rest since it indirectly involves other people (as Regret mentioned), but why would anal be a "no-no" while oral, mutual masturbation, sex toys etc be alright?

True, and it is more pronounced in that case, but sometimes it turns up in HIV - and terribly few people know what jaundice is (though to be far not many really know what HIV means either)



Could it reflect on that ultra-puritan mindset that sex for pleasure if a no no - God told Eve she was to have babies. Sex is for reproduction or for attempting to reproduce. No Pleasure for you!

That's what I am trying to find out, but the Bible beaters are avoiding this thread like the plague.

The Bible suggests homosexuality is a sin, and uses the term unnatural to define sexual acts that are sins, but inside a marriage the Bible is basically silent.

Very true.

One could extrapolate that the classifications of certain in marriage sexual acts as sins are due to the residual effects of the early Church authorities attempts to integrate themselves in as many aspects of their followers lives a possible.

By limiting action and behaviour and the way in which one could act correctly control is maintained. They probably feared a slippery slope/domino effect kind of situation:

"...we start letting them have sex for fun in marriage, and they might start doing it outside marriage, then we will have people thinking being gay is fine, then we will have people marrying their lawn clippings... and then no one will give us money. Nope, we need to clamp down and keep sex as non-fun as possible. And then when they break down and have fun sex they will feel bad, and they will need to come to us an ask for forgiveness because they gave in to temptations of the flesh! Genius!"

Could be, I prefer to be more positive in my perspective though.

In the past there have been various acts viewed as dirty or some other negative connotation. Oral and Anal sex are placing the mouth or penis where waste is evacuated, hence a "dirty" connotation.

It is easy to see where counsel against such activities may originate, particularly if lack of cleanliness led to health issues among a group somewhere.

As to masturbation, I am unsure as to how this would come to being viewed as wrong, other than the fact that it is basically an idle activity for a single individual.

I think I'd prefer something a bit more Greek. At least that way grapes and body oil might be suitably involved.



Maybe, but I am cynical, and there seems to have been to many cases where the Church limited activities based upon trying to enforce a limit of action.

Besides, cleanliness wasn't always important to them (certainly not before the Crusaders when bathing wasn't that hot) - and the kissing of relics - sweet heavens the diseases that would have spread, kissing a rotten finger bone a thousand others have slobbered on. Not good at all.

Seems simple then, let gays get married and then it wouldn't matter what kind of sex they were having, or whether it would produce babies or not.

If sexual activity outside of marriage is sinful, then masturbating by yourself is sinful.

Any sexual activity not done with your husband or wife is sinful, that includes sexual activity with yourself as sinful as well.

And if you cannot find someone to marry, then you should never have sex or masturbate....EVER roll eyes (sarcastic)
