There are some who try to make a biblical issue out of sexual interaction in a marriage. Many believe that there is only only one biblical form of sexual expression in marriage, that being sexual intercourse.
Yet, no where in the Bible do we see Scripture putting such limits on the sexual relationship of a godly husband and wife.
In fact, no where in the Bible does it forbid or even discuss oral sex. In other words, there is simply no Biblical evidence that is is a sin for a husband and wife to express love for each other orally. This includes the book of Leviticus where many sex-related prohibitions and rules for the Israelites are laid out. As such is the case, there doesn't seem to be any foundation to base a claim that it is wrong for Christian's to engage in oral sex. However, sex of any kind is considered proper only between a husband and wife.
If you have never done so, or if it's been some time since you have, read the Song of Solomon from a lover's point of view. The writing is filled with romantic language and metaphors that describe a beautiful, affectionate, romantic, sensuous, intimate and passionate love between a husband and wife. In fact, in some parts it seems to be speaking of the couple tasting, eating and drinking of each other's bodies (Song of Songs 2:3; 4:16; 8:2).
One cannot be sure what this means exactly, but we can say with certainty that there is no evidence here or elsewhere that God is concerned with what part of their bodies a couple might be touching intimately.
Some try to claim that oral lovemaking in marriage is wrong because of the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. This comparison is misguided and offensive. Sodom's problems had nothing to do with how godly, loving marriage partners were expressing their affection for each other.
"The men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the Lord" (Genesis 13:13).
It was their behavior overall - in every aspect - that was wicked, selfish and totally Godless. That is why it is unfair to use the story of Sodom and Gomorrah. 'Nuf said on that note.
First, consider the realistic and forthright views of Dr. Ed Wheat and Gloria Okes Perkins, Christian marriage counselors...
Onto the Bible teachings... The following basic principles concerning the enjoyment of sex in marriage are found in 1 Corinthians 7:3-5:
So, enjoy your forms of intimacy with your spouse and fear not; the heaven's will NOT come crashing down on you!
