I think the prevailing idea on things like oral sex being a sin was taken by the way early church under the influence of the gnostics, who believed anything of the flesh was sin, and only the spiritual was of value. So again, oral sex does not lead to procreation, and was thus considered to be sin. But in the book of genesis God observed that adam was lonely and made him a companion, and I believe that sex and love in the marriage relationship is for companionship first, and procreation second. Paul wrote in one of his letters that in marriage, it was wrong for the husband or wife to withhold sex from their partner, because they belonged to each other, and if they didn't fulfill that need for each other, they could cause the mate to wander outside of the relationship and sin, or become bitter and sin.
