Too busy tonight to do a real search for you, but an eye opener as to how "hip" Jesus is about sexuality was the reading a while back in a King James Bible where Paul is talking about those people who have been saved and he mentions the word "catamite".
Catamites are the passive partner in any kind of sodomic act, usually homosexual prostitutes but also heterosexual.
I was positively astounded at the level of specificity regarding sex in the Bible...

astounded at the level of specificity regarding sex in the BibleIt is specific. And "catamite" refers to the effeminite, or receiving, partner in a homosexual relationship, usually younger (i.e. today's NAMBLA). It is not used in reference to heterosexuality.
I certainly do not question your aversion to oral sex, or criticize you for it, but don't stretch the Bible and make it say something it doesn't. There are plenty of people of who find "plain/regular/normal" sex disgusting, probably due to a poor introduction of it in their life, and I would not judge them for that using the Bible as a hammer. It should not be used in the opposite fashion either.
