Perhaps.
As one comedian said, "I am not a helicopter pilot, but if I saw a helicopter sitting in a tree I could say with some degree of certainty that somebody has messed up."
However this discussion has strayed into matters that are much less observable than the facile sighting of a helicopter in a tree. Many assumptions have been stated as fact, and people have started arguing when their alleged facts are contested.
Either a lot of people are talking out of their butts, secretly married or living seriously backslidden lives.

I remember years ago asking the same question. I confess at the time, my thoughts were not pure and coming from selfish motives.
The activity which is described as an abomination in Leviticus and unnatural in romans is clearly not ok even for consenting husband and wife. It could be argued that anything beyond just intercourse is unnatural, so would be safer ground to avoid that activity also . We have to remember our life is spiritual , our flesh is dead to sin and the carnal world .
If you are desiring other such other activity beyond intercourse , from what motive is this arising , love or selfishness ? Even if it’s reciprocated , it’s dubious to see it as anything but selfishness

Someone posed the question "Why?" to the OP.
I appreciate the OP's wonderings. This is why I do: I think people should have an idea where they stand on these things AND discuss it with their potential spouse BEFORE they get married. Otherwise, you're just inviting in some potential conflict that could've been avoided. Perhaps the differences would even be enough for the two involved to call it all off. I'd certainly want to be on the same page about what is considered wrong or even sin and what is acceptable. The only other way to see if you're in agreement would be to fornicate a lot together, which is clearly stated as a sin in the Bible.
It's also fruitless to debate about whether or not arguing about who is worthy or not worthy to post is fruitless or not. So I'm stopping now because I'm really struggling to hold back the smartdonkey in me.

Don't hold back. We've seen it all here. You can't be more shocking than the people who have come before you on this forum.
Let 'er rip.
Um... I mean... In a strictly non-ban-ible sense, of course. Aside from profanity, blatant heresy and other stuff that might get you banned, let 'er rip.
