regarding specific sexual practices like oral or anal sex, the Bible doesn't seem to go into particular detail. If I recall there is a prohibition against sex with animals, and with "men lying with other men as they would with a woman" -- words to that effect.
Jesus wasn't particularly into sex either as he says nothing whatever about it, except perhaps "let he who has not sinned cast the first stone"
What bothers me about Christianity is the ability of Christians to so easily forgive themselves for moral lapses. I knew a Jew who murdered his wife in a fit of rage and then converted to Catholicism in jail in order to find forgiveness in Jesus. I think Jesus was even harder to follow than traditional Judaism -- he was after all a Jew, steeped in the Jewish tradition, a teacher, a Rabbi-- I think a lot of Christians just think they have to believe and lo! they are transformed into "good people." I am not so sure that Jesus was not a tough act. It was not enough for Him that you did not murder somebody, you couldn't even be pissed off at him! You couldn't even "lust in your heart" for the neighbor gal.

"The courageous over the infidels, make war for Allah and are not afraid... This is the depiction of the army of Allah that will come at Allah's decree, from here or from there, to liberate these lands from the defilement of the Jews, for Allah was angry with them in his book and called them once 'monkeys,' once 'swine,' and once 'donkeys.'"
