Permissible? ([non-procreative] related content)

[GummyLove]

I'm not some kind of forum troll, but I do have a question that I have always wondered. [Are non-procreative sex acts] wrong when done in the context marriage? If it is wrong, why is it made to be desirable? If it is done, who is the sinner, the doer or the receiver?

The reason I ask is that I have many friends from different religions, I am interested in knowing what their boundaries are. I will also try to respect your forum, if this question is too vulgar I apologize, I at least tried to put a warning in the title.

I appreciate any coherent responses.

Of course not, dear.

Yes.

If it is wrong, why is it made to be desirable?

Satan is the Father of Lies -- he would tell you that sticking one's head into a bucket of vomit is desirable, if he thought you would do it.

If it is done, who is the sinner, the doer or the receiver?

All are sinners for engaging in such activity.

Hmm, seems a bit "pervy" to me.

Appreciated.

Oh for goodness sake, we're not Irish, you know.

Re: Permissible?

You answered my questions, and I thank you.

I am still confused. Are you sure the desire comes from satan? Could the feelings possibly be contributed to God?

If a man is a "godly" man, and has a desire to give or receive such pleasure with his wife, why does it have to be attributed to satan? Is there a bible verse that correlates to the situation?

I may be a bit pervy, but not in the slutty way... it is in the desire for knowledge kind of way.

Re: Permissible?

Interesting, I never gave much thought on this. I went to google and found an article from a major Christian website, "Bible.com" http://bible.com/bibleanswers_result.php?id=246

Here are some relevant quotes from it, I think it makes some good points (emphasis mine):

Much of our society has embraced many perverted sexual practices that are considered in the Bible as abominations to God. Homosexuality is among the list of deviate or abnormal sexual practices however, there are many other practices that can be included as well. Pornography, pedophilia, prostitution, bestiality, oral sex, phone sex and computer virtual reality sex, just to name a few of them.

Sex is God's idea and its purpose is not only for procreation, but also for recreation and the development of a deep relationship between man and woman. Nothing is wrong or dirty about sex when it is engaged in the bonds of marriage as the Lord commanded in the Bible. However, when perversions are committed inside the marriage relationship, this can be sinful also. God made man and woman and brought them together "face to face." Oral sex is of homosexual origin that replaces the normal "face to face" relationship God intended in a marriage. The Bible describes the sex act in Song of Solomon Chapter 4. In this chapter it speaks of this "face to face" relationship by describing looking into his lover's eyes and kissing his lover's lips and fondling his lover's breasts. Oral sex is not normal or natural as it is an unclean act.
