In sexual activity, as in all other forms of human interaction, LOVE
must be the rule of living, as Jesus has said. Jesus exhorted
us to always do nothing to others that we would not want done to us,
and more positively, to do unto others that which you desire others to
do to you. In
the sexual union, one would want to have mutuality of consent, and
loving intentions above all. As long as there is that bond of love
(ideally that
of marriage or commitment), and a mutual desire, then there
would certainly be room for a good bit of "liberality." What that might
mean would have to be determined by the parties involved.
It seems to me that any activity, including sexual activity, becomes
sinful only when it violates this rule - when it is purely selfish, or
when it is harmful to another, either mentally, physically, or
spiritually. And of course, if one persists in selfish or
hurtful ways, then such activity would eventually meet the requirements
of iniquity.
