Question
Hi,
I was wondering about sex. Oral and anal in particular, not to be gross. I'm not married or anything. I know that any sexual in counter outside of marriage is wrong. I was wondering about inside of marriage though. Is oral and anal sex considered wrong in the catholic church, since you cannot pro-create that way? I know that masturbating is wrong in and out of marriage.
I hope you can help, Thank You.
Peace
dear Amber-
I would say both are moral wrong because sexual arousal should end in the act, of union between the couple. Sex is not merely for pleasure, its main propose for the procreation of the human race, to strengthen the bond between the couple. Anal and oral is basicly masturbating with another person.

Expertise
I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
