In one of the seven sacraments, marriage, the new couple is expected to build a fruitful family.
One expressly asks to be open to the children of God.
What then is the position of the Catholic Church on oral and anal sex among straight couples?
Answer
You formulated it yourself: for the Roman Catholic Church, sexuality is only aimed at procreation. If that which does not correspond to it, it is of the evil one. If, for one reason or another, children can no longer come or are desired, abstinence is recommended. There have sometimes been some attempts to broaden this pro-creative interpretation of sexuality to leave room for a more recreational interpretation, but this is based on a personalistic vision: a respectful approach between adult people that can also be expressed physically and that goes beyond than a narrowly sexual conception and open to expressions of tenderness.
