A blowjob is sodomy, which by definition is any sexual act performed for any reason by procreation en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodomy , and the bible forbids sodomy.
Stop seeing everything from the viewpoint of a lawyer. Law is only one way to see things. Right now we are in a completely different realm. Law is irrelevant. Don't even try to bring up the age old discussion of God's or King's rule. In case of a conflict between the two, every man has to chose for himself. If we are talking about religious, christian rules, the only instrument that can give a definition of sodomy is the Bible.
his viewpoint as a lawyer is easy to defend in this discussion. The Old Testament is basically a set of laws, written down to define what was considered proper and unproper in the context of that day and age. The New Testament is also full of guidelines regarding behavior, morality and ethics. From my own point of view, soon to be historian, religious doctrines and texts are nothing but expressions of proper morality and an attempt at mass control from different periods of time.

Number of atheists around the world is rising
According to the latest global poll released by RedC Opinion Poll, part of WIN-Gallup International, a world-wide network of leading opinion pollsters, the number of self-declared atheists in the world has risen by 9% since the measure was last taken in 2005.
The massive poll, conducted in 57 countries (not, apparently, including Britain) among 51,000 people asked a single question "Irrespective of whether you attend a place of worship or not, would you say you are a religious person, not a religious person or a convinced atheist?"
It shows that on average 59% of the world said that they think of themselves as religious, whereas 23% think of themselves as not religious and 13% think of themselves as convinced atheists. Naturally there are enormous variations from country to country.
The countries with most self-described atheists are China (47%); Japan (31%), Czech Republic (30%), France (29%), South Korea (15%), Germany (15%), Netherlands (14%), Austria (10%), Iceland (10%), Australia (10%) and Ireland (10%).
The most religious countries are: Ghana (where 96% of people define themselves as religious), Nigeria (93%), Armenia (92%), Fiji (92%), Macedonia (90%), Romania (89%), Iraq (88%), Kenya (88%), Peru (86%) and Brazil (85%).
One of the most dramatic reductions in the proportion of the population considering themselves religious occurred in Ireland: from 69% in 2005 to 47% in 2012, placing Ireland on the index of religious belief at position 43 out of 57 countries.
The poll also showed that the poorer people were, the more likely they were to be religious.
One anomaly that the pollsters have themselves questioned is in Turkey, where those who say they are religious is only 23% while those defining themselves as non-religious is 73% (self-defined atheists 2%).
