So oral sex is an option for christian spouses, but is it also required Up to this point we have proven that oral sex is definitely an option for men and women within the covenant of marriage. Among christians, the subject of oral sex often finds itself at the intersection of biblical interpretation, cultural influences, and personal convictions Why do some christians view it as sinful, while others believe it aligns with marital intimacy within god’s design?
So, yes, oral sex is always a sin if done before or outside of marriage Is oral sex a sin if done within a marriage Many christian married couples have had this question The bible nowhere says what specifically is allowed or disallowed sexually between a husband and wife. Because scripture does not explicitly mention oral sex, believers draw on broader biblical principles to discern whether it aligns with godly living Though the bible never explicitly mentions oral sex, the bible is very clear about all sexual behavior
Oral sex is not sinful within marriage (assuming both spouses are comfortable with it) Any sexual contact outside of marriage, including oral sex, is considered sinful. The question of whether the bible speaks specifically about oral sex is one that comes up frequently, especially as couples seek to understand how to live holy lives within the context of marriage While the bible doesn’t directly mention oral sex, there are principles throughout scripture that can guide christians in making decisions about sexual intimacy in their marriage.
