- SUMMARY
The Bible criticizes and prohibits males
penetrating males (anal intercourse).
But it does not criticize or prohibit any other form
of sex between men (including oral sex, deep
kissing, fondling and mutual masturbation).
As in other societies of Biblical times, the
prohibition on penetration is aimed at the man
being penetrated. This Biblical prohibition seems
to be mainly based on the cultural view that
the penetrated man is acting like a woman
(instead of like a man) in sexual intercourse. The
male penetrator is condemned for helping the
penetrated man to act like a woman. As the
prohibition is culturally based, it does not
apply today.

condemns only men penetrating men and
