Are there things SEXUALLY OFF LIMITS when you're married, like BDSM? - Burning Questions

I feel like the "big picture" here is summed up in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20. Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and you are not your own, for you were bought with a price. This also applies to your spouse. Whatever you do to your spouse's body has to be something you could do to the temple of the Holy Spirit. I can kind of see how some forms of bondage _might_ not be a clear-cut sin, such as if you wanted to find out what it's like to try a certain position that you can't hold without it, or if you wanted the feeling of "letting go" and being along for the ride, and entrusting yourself completely to your spouse _on the condition that the spouse is going to treat you in a way that is completely non-degrading and honors you and God._ That being said, I agree that anything that brings pain or harm to your or your spouse's body is off-limits, along with anything that impersonates/role-plays a sexual relationship that isn't the way God designed it to be (belittling, humiliation, "punishment"). Stuff that "acts out" making a sexual relationship about one person having power over another, rather than intimacy, love, and respect.

She said that sex with an animal (also known as beastiality) isn't Biblical! Yes, it is Biblical. It is in the Law of Moses in Leviticus 18:23.
