All Christian married couples eventually come to “that topic”: that is the question, is anal sex a sin in a Christian marriage? Is anal sex okay for married Christian sexuality? Many churches have condemned sodomy as a sin, but why? Does the Bible say it is?
No, the Bible does not say that anal sex is a sin for Christian married couples. Despite the Old Testament purity laws regarding periods, there are no limitations placed on anal sex as part of Christian sexuality in marriage.
So if it’s not blatantly a sin, is anal sex okay in a Christian marriage relationship?
Maybe.
Let’s first consider how it could be wrong. If a husband demands that his wife participate in this activity and she is not comfortable with it, that violates trust in the sexuality of the marriage. ANY sexual practice that both partners are not comfortable with is wrong. This is a great rule to apply to any other sexual act in a Christian marriage. Now let’s consider how this act can be a good addition to sexuality in a Christian marriage. If both want anal sex, it may be okay for them. If both partners understand the risks of anal sex in a marriage, it may be okay for them. If neither of you feels demeaned, it may be okay for them. Here’s a checklist to determine if you’re okay.
1. Do we feel that anal sex is a sin in a Christian marriage?
2. Are we both emotionally ready for it in our marriage?
3. Do we understand the risks and precautions to take in adding this to our Christian married sexuality?
If you answered yes to all three, congratulations! If not, then it’s not for you. I hope this article has proven to be a valuable tool in your marriage. There is a book that I highly recommend for better Christian sex. You can buy it on this Christian sexuality website that I am contributing to. It’s new, small and costs you nothing.
