. Many Christians wrongly assume that so long as they keep their segxwal activity in marriage, "anything goes". That is a naïve assumption at best, and foolishness at worst. We have already seen that coitus during menstruation is strictly forbidden. If this is done accidentally, then Torah requires that a week's separation take place. We will not go into the reasons for this in this article as time and space do not permit. It is sufficient to know, however, that Yahweh has said so, and that he must have a good reason. Torah also says that husband and wife are not to have intercourse for a prescribed period after childbirth.
What, then, is permitted sex and what is not (within marriage)? The Biblical sex manual is the Song of Solomon (or Song of Songs / Canticles). It is, however, written poetically making it open to multiple interpretation. What, for instance, of oral sex? Many argue that the Song of Solomon permits it and that is possible. I will not debate that issue here. Certainly there is a case for it if that is what you like. However, what we do need to underscore here, is some common sense. Each part of the body was made for different functions. The anus, for instance, was not designed for sex! It has one function only, namely, excretion. Abuse of it can lead, as we know, to AIDS, and is the favourite perversion of the ungodly not following the Torah rules on marriage. This ministry therefore has no hesitation in declaring anal sex to be a perversion.
Another issue is the spilling of seed outside the place where Yahweh intended it to be placed for the multiplation of the species. Many perversions exist in this area which I do not propose to go into. The case of Onan is certainly good reason for not spilling seed on the ground or anywhere less except where it can be fruitful. Follow some simple rules and you will not go wrong: Does what I do honour God, and is what I am doing fulfilling the purpose of the segxwal act?
