Question: Dear brother, In moral theology manuals, such as Jone, this kind of thing would be classed as mutual masturbation in that the sexual faculty is used for a purpose not directed towards procreation, in other words a mortal sin. |

Dear Sean: From what I have been able to find . Thus, if this act is foreplay with vaginal ejaculation only, it hardly is a problem with oral sex. The key is that ejaculation must only be vaginal.Foreplay of whatever kind is not "mutual masturbation." Masturbation is an action for its own sake. A husband and wife has a purpose of sexual activity as a mutual self giving of each to the other. In addition to procreation, sex is to bond to each other for the good of the marriage and family. This includes foreplay as a prelude to vaginal intercourse. There is no moral objection to this. God Bless, Footer Notes: This forum is for general questions on the faith.
