I am shocked when I hear people say that any sexual position other than missionary is sinful. What are your thoughts on this? I am under the impression that what goes on between a married Christian couple in the privacy of their bedroom is between them and their God.

Yes, it isn't for anybody to tell them exactly how to make love.
But I do think that each of us has the light of Christ, so intuitively, we know the difference between making love and lusting based on sex-tools - even in marriage.

I just think that if God created my wife for my sexual enjoyment and me for hers. Then, we are glorifying God by being faithful to one another, as well as expressing our love what ever sexual position that may be. I get the lust part, and you are right about that.

1 Corinthians 7:4 - The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; and likewise also the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

The married couple should be able to communicate each other's needs and be able to play those needs out behind closed doors.

I am not aware of any Bible passage that would imply any position was bad.

When you consider there is only one marriage ceremony explained in detail in the Bible. From detailed look at what happened there, it makes the 'missionary' position comical.

She kneels at his feet. He stands. She raises the hem of his skirt over her head, the beginning of the custom of the 'covering canopy', which continues to this day in Hebrew weddings. While she is kneeling in this position under his robe he declares that he will marry her. The next day he goes into town to clear the deal with his elder cousin.

We are never told, what she did under his skirt, it was 'covered' by the wings of his robe. Which also becomes a big metaphor in the Bible [spreading his wings to cover a person].

Chapter and verse, please.

As for what she did under the shirt? They weren't actually married yet, so it likely wasn't what you might be implying.

It is. The marriage bed is undefiled. If any Christian says differently, promptly ignore them.

Ive seen some folks go as far as saying Oral sex is sodomy and married couples should not be doing that. And ive even seen some go as far as to say the act be Baal-Peor Worship. Most people that make these arguments are more than likely not married or no one will ever want to marry them at all.
