@AmyCurious My wife and I are both believers, we have no beef with any particular church, but came out of the denominations as the more we really read the bible, the more we saw how controlling and hypocritical the organisations behind the churches are, Catholic, Anglican etc. We have found a lot of people like this who, who we now have fellowship with, some still go to an organised church as well as meet from house to house, others just meet each week house to house. any how enough of that.
We are a monogamous, married couple who like to have anal sex. I must be like you, at about 14 I saw, accidentally, some one having what appeared to be anal sex and I could not forget seeing it and how it turned me on. My wife, girlfriend at the time, from a Christian family, knew I liked anal sex, but was dead against it. There must be versions of this story dotted around this forum, so I'll leave you to find them if you like; anyway, now she likes it and for a time we went AO, now a days we do whatever we feel like and we could go AO for a time for fun if we wanted.
I have wondered if it is a 'sin' but I don't think it is. Not getting into the gay argument, which I am also am not convinced of, we do have a line, (my understanding is that it is to do with Levitical priests not swapping their usual sexuality in order to worship Moloch, when they are supposed to be dedicated to serving at God's altar, remember Balaam tricked the Israelites into sleeping with the pagan women and worshiping their gods with sexual orgies including swapping their usual sexual orientation and not to do with general sexuality, or so it appears to me) The line is Leviticus 20:13 You shall not lay with a male as you lay with a woman; well for that to work man would need to have anal sex with women otherwise a man could not lay with a man as he lays with a woman, unless the man had had gender reassignment surgery and I don't think they had that back in the days of the Levites. So, normally, you can't have vaginal sex with another man, so , again, to reiterate, it would have to be permitted to have anal sex with women in order for a Levite to not be permitted to lay with a man in the same way. I have said it before that the first time Adam gave Eve a back rub I think he would have wanted to see if he could take her anally - and we are told that there was no sin at that point, so they wouldn't have been sinning if they had anal sex. I also looked into it on the Jewish forums, I guess it will maybe vary depending where you look, but I kept getting that the rabbis say you can have anal sex, but not exclusively anal sex, so they wouldn't like the AO idea I guess, but then this is down to giving life a chance. If one was to have vaginal sex but always use contraception, it would amount to the same thing (I guess why Catholics don't approve contraception). But using contraception just gives money to big Pharma and gets you to put drugs into your body to stop it working properly. Or put a barrier of latex between you and your lover. If you don't trust them enough to be disease free, maybe one shouldn't be sleeping with them in the first place. Cumming into a rubber bag and flushing your seed down the drain seems much more of an insult to God than allowing it to pass into your lover and exchanging body fluids with them. Sure, you may go to the loo at some point after, but at least you have had the exchange of fluid - you will read threads here about the absorption of cum being good for you, your sex drive and your mood - anecdotal I guess, but I would tend to agree with the observation. This is my current take on it, I may be wrong, so check it out and make your own decision, I don't want to be responsible for talking you into something that is a sin, but I don't think anal sex is. I have seen so many opinionated people at church, saying this is wrong and that is right only to find them fall away or their own secret sin come to the surface. Ask God to speak to you on the matter, but if He leaves you to make up your own mind, then do so. But don't let guilt separate you from your salvation, this is from the enemy. Go to God and be open to Him about any guilt you feel, let him know who you are and see how he responds. He might leave you to it, he may tell you to stop, he may comfort you or show you something in his word that says he is ok with you, don't let the human organisation pile any guilt on you though
