Answer:
The Bible says that “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage
bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually
immoral" (Hebrews 13:4).
Scripture never says what a husband and wife are or are not allowed to
do sexually. Husbands and wives are instructed, “Do not deprive each
other except by mutual consent and for a time (1 Corinthians 7:5a).
This verse perhaps lays down the principle for sexual relations in
marriage. Whatever is done, it should be mutually agreed upon. No one
should be encouraged or coerced to do something he or she is
uncomfortable with or thinks is wrong. If a husband and wife both agree
that they want to try something (e.g., oral sex, different positions,
sex toys, etc.), then the Bible does not give any reason why they
cannot.
There are a few things, though, that are never allowable sexually for a
married couple. The practice of “swapping,” or "swinging/swingers," or
“bringing in an extra” (threesomes, foursomes, etc.) is blatant adultery
(Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3).
Adultery is sin even if your spouse allows, approves, or even
participates in it. Pornography appeals to the “lust of the flesh and
the lust of the eyes” (1 John 2:16)
and is therefore condemned by God as well. A husband and wife should
never bring pornography into their sexual union. Other than these two
items, there is nothing that Scripture explicitly forbids a husband and
wife to do with each other as long as it is by mutual consent.
