Oral Sex as Sacred

Like anal sex, oral sex is the subject of a great deal of controversy in the institutional church. There are those who say that oral sex is unnatural because God did not intend our mouths to be used in such a manner. Others associate oral-genital contact with sexual depravities attributed to Sodom and Gomorrah.

As we discover in the sacred scripture, neither one of these views is supported. In addition, oral sex has benefits that are of particular importance to Christians: oral sex allows the natural prevention of unwanted pregnancy and is an alternative to premarital intercourse for those committed to preserving their chastity before marriage.

There is nothing in sacred scripture that forbids engaging in acts of oral-genital contact. Oral sex has wrongly been grouped in with “sodomy” and the sexual sins of Sodom and Gomorrah. As we have seen with anal sex, this argument does not hold water, because the sins of the Sodomites were specifically non-sexual in nature.

"Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter [Gomorrah] had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit." (Ezekiel 16:49-50)

These were the crimes of Sodom and Gomorrah as highlighted by this Prophet: pride, idleness, and abundance while ignoring the needs of the poor. For the ages, the institutional church has used Sodom and Gomorrah as a bullseye on gays, lesbians and heterosexual couples for arguments against homosexuality and anal sex. Unfortunately, they were wrong. Ezekiel is clear. The only other sexually suggestive crime was the crime of rape, which actually never occurred in Lot’s home. The threat of such an act was a slap in the face to Lot’s social standing and the hospitality code of the time. So, Sodom and Gomorrah was judged by the Prophet Ezekiel for their pride, mistreatment of the poor and their haughty lifestyle.

Today’s sodomites are clearly our contemporary pharisees and religious elite in the many divided churches in the west.

Therefore, there is no merit in using this passage to argue against a heterosexual, or homosexual act of oral sex for mutual pleasure. On the other hand, the Sacred Scripture does contain some favorable references to oral sex, some in poetic language and some more explicit.

“His Fruit Was Sweet to My Taste”

In Christian discussions concerning oral sex, the Song of Solomon is most frequently cited as an example of scriptural allusion to the act: "Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. In his shade I took great delight and sat down, and his fruit was sweet to my taste." (Song of Solomon 2:3)

While the previous passage refers to fellatio, the following can be read as a metaphor for cunnilingus: "Awake, O north wind, and come, wind of the south; make my garden breathe out fragrance, let its spices be wafted abroad. May my beloved come into his garden and eat its choice fruits!" (Song of Solomon 4:16)

And, again, the Song of Solomon urges lovers to eat and drink freely of one another’s bodies: "I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved." (Song of Solomon 5:1)

This reading of the Sacred Scripture illustrates the act of oral sex as both natural, like eating, and a joyful expression of love, passion, and sexual sharing between a couple who has God at the head of their relationship.

In the New Testament, this passage directs partners to render “benevolence” to one another, which can be extended to performing oral sex on each other as part of their duty to the Elohim and one another: "Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband." (Corinthians 7:33)

Not only does this passage imply that oral sex between a man and woman is acceptable and desirable, but, as we unlock the mysteries the sacred texts also provide more specific edicts concerning the completion of the oral sex act, namely, swallowing the male emission or semen retention as an act of spiritual discipline and advancement.

The Spiritual Art of Semen Retention

Most of us are familiar with the scriptural story of Onan, whose sin against God was that of spilling his seed on the ground: "And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother’s wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also." (Genesis 38:9-10)

This scriptural passage has traditionally been used as an injunction against masturbation; however, upon closer study it becomes apparent that this scenario has nothing to do with masturbation at all. Onan was not masturbating; he was copulating with his brother’s wife (and there was a good reason for that in God’s plan). His sin was pulling out (coitus interruptus) and ejaculating on the ground rather than into the woman. He did so in order to avoid impregnating her; however, he could have easily avoided God’s wrath (and the penalty of death), by simply having the woman fellate him and then swallow his semen. This would have kept him from impregnating her, as well as completely prevented the spilling of seed that was an offense in The eyes of the Elohim.

The objective for the spiritually focused couple would be for the male to retain his semen, experiencing orgasm without ejaculation. Through mediation, he is able to transform that sexual energy into spiritual empowerment. This applies to heterosexual or same-sex marriages.

The Benefits of Drinking the Living Water

Aside from swallowing semen as a measure to prevent the waste and spillage of seed, ingesting ejaculate can have spiritual benefits, as we will see. Although the Old Testament makes reference to the bitterness of semen (And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water. -Numbers 5:24), the New Testament casts the act of consuming ejaculate in a much more affirming light, as in the following passage where Jesus speaks to the woman of Samaria about the gift of “living water”: Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you 'Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” The woman said to him, “Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?...Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.” Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back.” (John 4:10-16)

“Living water” in this context refers to semen, which literally is the liquid of life. As Christ indicates, drinking of the “living water” provides a spiritual replenishment for the soul. When the woman asks Jesus where she can get this “water”, he tells her to fetch her husband, clearly with the intention of instructing her on how to fellate him and swallow his semen.

Oral Sex in Sacred Scripture

In summary, we can say that Sacred Scripture supports and even encourages the act of oral sex between loving partners who have the Elohim as the head of their relationship. Moreover, the Scripture specifically encourages fellatio to completion (orgasm) with the female partner consuming or swallowing the ejaculate. Or for the more advanced spiritual practitioner, semen retention as a discipline and energy cultivator. This prevents spilling seed, which is an affront to the Elohim, and also provides spiritual benefit to the receiving partner. Oral sex has the added benefits of preventing unwanted pregnancies and helping couples satisfy their sexual urges while preserving their chastity until marriage. For these reasons, all Christian couples, straight or gay, should feel confident and comfortable including oral sex as part of their sexual life in accordance with God’s will.

Our sexual energies are atomic. They can be used for good or for destructive purposes. Unlocking the keys to the divinity of our sexuality is to find oneness with God in a way most will never experience.
