MALE-MALE PENETRATION

                   SUMMARY

The Bible criticizes and prohibits male-male penetration
(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.
