    Is there any arguements in the Bible against sex in public?

    The Bible doesn't offer a list of prescripted kinks to spice up married life. ;)

    It is a question of context. By public, if you mean out in the open air but away from anyone who would come upon it (not intending to pun) then I don't think it could be classified under the general sexual immorality teaching.

    But if you meant in public as in the company of others, I think that would come under the marriage-bound concept of sex within the Old and New Testaments.

    It is important to remember that the Bible has a very healthy and encouraging view of sex. Song of Songs is the Bible's answer to erotica. ;) Sex is always viewed positively when it is between a married couple and for a married couple. So in questions of sexual morality in relation to the changing cultural mores, I think the Bible would be quite open to the idea of married couples exploring and investigating their appetites. But it is always viewed as something that should happen between just the 2 spouses.

    Did that make any sense?

    Ah, we have the Kama sutra, but you would need to be a contortionist to get past chapter III

    Perhaps not but there are some in the Irish Statute books!

    Aye, but to get in trouble, you need to be caught.

    I meant sex in front of other people, before other people's eyes. And that's not something to "kink of married life", that's disgusting.

    You make sense, yes. I know that sex is portrayed as something beautiful in the Bible and in many places. It is beautiful too - if it is kept to the marriage. :)
