Some people expected the church to be fearful, ignorant, sexually repressed and hypocritical with only one message about sex: don't do it this way, but do it God's Way. And what they refer as 'God's way' is only the "Missionary Style" - man on top of woman during sex". Any other style or act of stimulation is regarded as "Perversion". But a biblical understanding of sex in marriage was deeply positive - ''give each other the best pleasure, God made us for it''.
We are aware that some have tried to make a biblical issue out of what parts of the body married couples can and cannot kiss. In their minds, there is only one Biblical form of sexual expression in marriage, man insert his penis into her vagina, ejaculate like pestle and mortar, and satisfied himself without minding if the woman reach orgasm or not. They attempt to defend their viewpoint [by] trying to make it into a holiness issue. Song of Solomon 7:1-2 says, “How beautiful your sandaled feet, O prince's daughter! Your graceful legs are like jewels, the work of a craftsman's hands. Your navel is a rounded goblet that NEVER LACKS BLENDED WINE. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies”.
I can assure you that "navel" and "waist" in this translation are oblique references to what lies between her "graceful legs." It may not be a direct reference to cunnilingus, but what else does one do with blended wine but drink it? These verses are contextually supported by three factors: King Salomon's descriptive praise of her is in ascending order, beginning with her feet and concluding with her hair. The movement from her thighs, to her vulva, and then to her waist. He love kissing every part of her body. Kissing one another’s bodies is quite all right. So where do the lips stop kissing? Must they stop before reaching genitalia? Inner thigh okay? Vulva not? Without biblical, health, or practical reasons, I don’t see why that area is forbidden.
Song of Songs 4: 16, it says, "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!"
Garden here is referring to her vagina and she asked the man to breath out fragrance and eat its choice fruits. How will you explain this verse?
According to most modern biblical scholars, the Song of Songs is about the sexual love between a married couple. In this Old Testament book, preserved as part of the holy scriptures, specific sexual acts are described. There appear to be at least two references to oral sex within.
The first woman to man:
“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
The second man to woman:
“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
Moreover, there is nothing inherently harmful about oral sex. There isn’t much research into the composition or possible health benefits, but a wife’s natural lubricant appears to be okay for her husband to ingest. The contact of lips and tongue to genitals is not far different from hands or fingers on genitals.
