Arguing that gays and lesbians who also identify as Christians are merely part of the “left-wing agenda,” conservative televangelist Pat Robertson offered a simple, if ineloquent, explanation with regard to his longstanding opposition to same-sex marriage. “If you show me one couple that conceived a child through anal – through anal intercourse – just show me one in all the world, and I will say, ‘I agree with you and you are right.’ Show me one,” he said. “It’s unnatural, I’m sorry.”
He added: “And one of the biggest misconceptions out there that I was very surprised to hear when it comes to normal, Christian couples, is oral sex. I mean, where on Earth did these people get the idea that it is okay to have oral sex just because you’re married? Let me tell you something, the fact that a man and a woman who are joined in holy matrimony before God and who believe in Our Lord Jesus Christ and are against same-sex marriage are allowed to have sex and procreate and have children is not a license to do other ghastly sins within wedlock.”
“Where do you people find these sort of ideas?” the “700 Club” host said. “Oral sex performed either by the husband or the wife on the other spouse is a sin, make no mistake about that. In fact, since the man is the one who provides the seed to make a baby, it can be said that it is a greater sin for him to touch his wife’s mouth with his penis than it is the other way around. I would even say this is forbidden, unless he is by some miracle able to somehow produce a baby by doing that. If he can get a baby to come out of his wife’s mouth 9 months after having oral sex, then it’s ok. Otherwise, it’s just as sinful as anal.”
The TV host also stated that “the only type of sex allowed in marriage” is “the usual, normal sex.” “Anything else and you’re bound for Hell. I’m talking even motorboating. No French kissing either, and you certainly can’t slap your wife’s ass on any occasion. Actually, you know what? Let’s just call it like it should be: you’re going to Hell if you have sex for any other purpose than procreation. Sex for pleasure? Please, that’s so Old Testament. Masturbation is ok, but only if you’re struggling financially and are forced to donate sperm to get some money. Otherwise, abstinence, both mental and especially physical, is the way to go.”
