According to the bible,if a couple is married,is oral sex sin?

I am a newlywed,and we are Christians. My husband insists that oral sex is forbidden,that any contact with the mouth below the waist is unclean. I,on the other hand think that God created all sex,and anything other than sodomy is alright. According to Song of Solomon,oral sex is alright. Does anyone know the CLEAR biblical answer to this,with verses to support or deny this? Thank you,because I cannot seem to find this,and do NOT really want to ask my 70 year old pastor,lol

Update:

And Fyi,We don't work on Sunday,I don't even COOK on Sundays.We do eat meat on Friday,we're not Catholics,lol. Everyone's sinned,that's what you ask forgiveness for,we're not perfect,just forgiven. =0))

Update 2:

Um,I DID mention we're married,so that guy that said,"fornication outside a scriputual marraige?" That's kinda of a moot point at best,doncha think?lol

    Debatable, at best.

    There is nothing in the bible that suggests that such a practice is sinful.

    But, the Bible is specific that the man and woman should come together and become one flesh. That doesn't suggest oral sex, in my mind.

    TDs are fine.

    Hebrews 13:4 and 1 Corinthians 6:9 establish that God disapproves of both adultery and fornication (Greek, por‧nei′a). What does the latter include? The Greek term involves the use of the genital organs in either a natural or a perverted way with lewd intent. It includes all forms of illicit sexual relations outside of Scriptural marriage. So it includes oral sex, despite the fact that many teenagers around the world have been told or have come to the conclusion that oral sex is acceptable. True Christians do not guide their thinking and actions by the opinions of “profitless talkers, and deceivers of the mind.” (Titus 1:10) They hold to the higher standard of the Holy Scriptures. Rather than try to make excuses for oral sex, they understand that Scripturally it is fornication, por‧nei′a, and they train their conscience accordingly.—Acts 21:25; 1 Corinthians 6:18; Ephesians 5:3.

    The Bible has no clear teachings in this area. Anyone who says otherwise is being a legalist. If God thought it that important, He'd have told us. If you read the book of Solomon, you can see what some think to be references to oral sex.

    Big deal is, are either of you opposed to it? Neither should impose their wishes on the other. Sex is for mutual enjoyment of the husband and wife. As newlyweds, you have plenty of time to work through this.

    There is a respected book for Christians by Ed Wheat that discusses this and many other topics.

    "Intended for Pleasure".

    Do either of you work on a Sunday? Eat meat on a Friday? im going to presume you don't live your life exactly how the bible says you should. If that where the case and you followed every single rule you'd be living in a card board box on the street because according to the bible your not aloud own any possessions.

    Have oral sex, its great fun. Enjoy.

    EDIT: If your bisexual then surely you cant have a problem with oral sex. The bible is against gays and bi's but that doesn't stop you from being bisexual so why should it stop you having oral sex? tell your partner to life a little, you never know he might even have fun.

    Nowhere does the Bible forbid it or discuss oral sex. There is no biblical evidence that refers to it as a sin against God. Too me, your married so you can express your sexual love for each other any way, oral or not.

    here are numerous reasons why a once committed relationship would degenerate to one partner asking for a divorce. how to save your marriage https://tr.im/Czsoi

    It could have been:

    - an affair

    - having been separated by a long distance for lengths of time

    - conflict

    - behavioral issues or psychological problems of one spouse

    - even unmanaged addictions.

    Whatever of these problems may be what is seen on the surface, the bottom line is that usually, barring any abuse or psychological problems that are best handled by a professional, a couple find themselves in danger of divorce when there is a loss of:

    - communication,

    - love

    - and intimacy

    in the marital relationship.

    Oral sex, also known as “cunnilingus” when performed on females and “fellatio” when performed on males, is not mentioned in the Bible. There are two primary questions that are asked in regards to oral sex: (1) “is oral sex a sin if done before marriage?” and (2) “is oral sex a sin if done within a marriage?” While the Bible does not specifically address either question, there are definitely biblical principles that apply.

    Is oral sex a sin if done before or outside of marriage?

    This question is becoming increasingly common as young people are told that “oral sex is not really sex,” and as oral sex is promoted as a safer (no risk of pregnancy, less risk of sexually transmitted diseases*) alternative to sexual intercourse. What does the Bible say? Ephesians 5:3 declares, “But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity...because these are improper for God's holy people.” The biblical definition of “immorality” is “any form of sexual contact outside of marriage” (1 Corinthians 7:2). According to Hebrews 13:4, only the “marriage bed” is pure and undefiled. According to the Bible, sex is to be reserved for marriage. Period. So, yes, oral sex is a sin if done before or outside of marriage.

    Is oral sex a sin if done within a marriage?

    Many, perhaps most, Christian married couples have had this question. What makes it difficult is the fact that the Bible nowhere says what is allowed or disallowed sexually between a husband and wife, other than, of course, any sexual activity that involves another person (swapping, threesomes, etc.) or that involves lusting after another person (pornography). Outside of these two restrictions, the principle of “mutual consent” would seem to apply (1 Corinthians 7:5). While this text specifically deals with abstaining from sex/frequency of sex, “mutual consent” is a good concept to apply universally in regards to sex within marriage. Whatever is done, it should be fully agreed on between the husband and his wife. Neither spouse should be forced or coerced into doing something he/she is not completely comfortable with. If oral sex is done within the confines of marriage and in the spirit of mutual consent, there is not a biblical case for declaring it to be a sin.

    In summary, oral sex before marriage is absolutely a sin. It is immoral. It is in no sense a biblically acceptable alternative to sexual intercourse for unmarried couples. Within the confines of marriage, oral sex is free from sin as long as there is mutual consent.

    *While oral sex is safer than sexual intercourse in regards to sexually transmitted diseases, it is definitely not safe. Chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpes, HIV/AIDS, and other STDs can be transmitted through oral sex.

    The Bible does not specify different types of sex and weather they are or are not allowed in marriage. He does, however, say that sex within marriage is good, even promoted. Sex within marriage is, in fact, an act of worshipping God. As believers you are "becoming one flesh." Jesus even calls us the "bride of Christ." Our earthly marriage is the ultimate picture of God's relationship with us - human marriage is designed to imitate the holy, heavenly marriage. God designed us, as humans, to enjoy sex, and to enjoy one another, so I do not think He would forbid any type of pleasure within marriage.
