    There's nothing formal in the Bible that says no oral sex. From the story of Onan in Genesis it's considered to be bad from a masturbation/spilling seed point of view but that's more an interpretive answer

    There is no specific mention of oral sex in the bible. But I feel I need to comment on the statement about "the marriage bed is undefiled". That is a misrepresentation of what the bible actually says. The bible does not say that anything that happens in the marriage bed is OK. The verse is an abmonition to keep the marriage bed undefiled. God is telling us to be careful not todefile it. The verse deals specifically with adultery.

    Hebrews 13:4 (NIV)
    Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.

    Like many things, there is no explicit prohibition but one has been 'interpreted' by people that find a particular behavior distasteful.

    Personally, I feel that is EVERY ovum and EVERY sperm was meant to be used solely for procreation, we wouldn't have nocturnal emissions, ovulation, etcetera, nor would non-reproductive sex (or ANY sex) be enjoyable.

    Therefore, I feel it safe to assume that there is nothing morally wrong with oral sex in and of itself, especially not between a man and his wife or as part of a monogamous relationship that is headed towards marriage.

    Judeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years that it is God's will that:
    • Single people should be celibate.
    • Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).
    • Married couples should welcome God's gift of children and, therefore, artificial birth control is against the will of God.

    The Catholic Church recognizes the power of sex when it teaches, "Sexuality affects all aspects of the human person in the unity of his body and soul."

    Chastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person. A chaste person's body and spirit lives in unity and opposes any behavior that would impair that unity.

    The Catholic Church does not have an official stance which types of sex are allowable when a man and woman are married as long as it is consensual and done in moderation.

    The purpose of sex is to bring a husband and wife closer and to create human life.

    For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, section 2337 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt2art6.htm#2337

    With love in Christ.

    There are several solid implacable rules concerning society as a whole that have been with mankind before the advent of the modern religions of the Koran, Bible (New Testament), and the Torah and they have been orated by Plato, Aristotle, Buddha, Confucius, and many other early civilized thinkers. I say this because I don’t want these words twisted to give the impression that we should rationalize behavior that is contradictive to the proliferation and quality of life of all Mankind.

    In the essence of this answer, this is what I call evil behavior, and many times punishable by law. If you would like a rock-solid, excuse the pun, reference; “The Ten Commandments” delivered by Moses would be a reasonable starting point to understand these behaviors.

    Oral sex, unless it is with your neighbor’s wife, is more a personal rule of conduct. Personal rules only effect the being or beings involved and must be designed to not hinder the individual to be capable of carrying out the Major Rules (above). Therefore, unless you are, for example crippled with guilt, or cripple your partner, [these] behaviors you speak of should be consistent with any practical faith. Central to this idea is, alluded to as “to thy own self be true”, or you may find yourself addicted to a crippling behavior and find yourself losing your spiritual well-being and possibly your mind.

    As for my own belief on oral sex or wasting an ejaculation (spoken, I believe, somewhere in Leviticus, the Old Testament Bile, as incorrect behavior), I don’t carry that conviction but if [you] guide your life by these written words then you will have a dilemma. I may have to answer for it, I can’t say for sure.

    Do you know why "sex" is even considered "bad" in the "bible", with "Christianity" anyway, other than morality? The monks going against the Romans. The Romans were having way too much sex, and since "Christianity" was getting ready to take over Rome, they saw all the sex, said it was a "work of the devil", and said no sex unless they wanted to reproduce, and I think even then you had to be married. The monks of course were having no sex at all, but they were secretly going to whores because sex is natural, nothing wrong with it, and they couldn't even masturbate. So, of course the church says that they can have sex without reproducing reasons as long as they were married. I'm not religious, but the church changes things to be convenient but says that it's under "god" so it's okay, with a lot of things, although they needed to deal with this one big time.

    Most people don't know why they do or think what they think, there's too much influence, culture and other things, because people think because they know things they can stop thinking or that the just say what's over-said or over-used.

    Getting to the "oral sex" thing, oral sex is actually outlawed in quite a few states, my state as far as I know is not outlawing it, but wouldn't surprise me if it did. You're not "perverted" just because you ask a question about something that is really out there.
