Dos and Don't during Sex in Islam

What is and what is not allowed during
sex in Islam.

(This is a really good explanation I've found online)
Yes there are limitation in Sex in Islam. In fact
Islam is very conservative about Sex.
1. A man can approach his wife from any direction.
Your wives are a place of sowing of seed for you, so
come to your place of cultivation however you wish
and put forth [righteousness] for yourselves. And
fear Allah and know that you will meet Him. And give
good tidings to the believers. 2:223
This verse say you can approach your wife from any
direction you want. At that time there were common
believes that if you approach your wife from behind
that resulted in children, the kids would have some
kind of deformity. The Quran simply busted that
myth.
1. Anal sex is strictly  forbidden
Although there is no direct verse related to it but
there but this is general consensus among sunnis
muslim that Anal sex between husband and wife is
not allowed. It is also mentioned in tafsir of the
above verse that sex must happen only where it is
suppose to be, not in any other place.
Here are some hadiths that proves it is forbidden
Abu Hurairah, Book of Divination and Omens, Sunan
Abu Dawood, 3895.
If anyone [resorts to a diviner and believes in what
he says (according) to the version of Musa) or] has
intercourse with his wife (according to the agreed
version) when she is menstruating, or has
intercourse with his wife through her anus, he has
nothing to do with what has been sent down to
Muhammad.
Another
On the day of resurrection, Allah will not look at a
man who had intercourse with his wife in her
anus"—Narrated by Ibn Abi Shayba, 3/529; narrated
and classed as sahih by Sunan al-Tirmidhi, 1165
and there are other available as well.
1. Sex during menstruation is forbidden
And they ask you about menstruation. Say, "It is
harm, so keep away from wives during menstruation.
And do not approach them until they are pure. And
when they have purified themselves, then come to
them from where Allah has ordained for you. Indeed,
Allah loves those who are constantly repentant and
loves those who purify themselves. Al Buqarah 2:222
This clearly say sex or intercourse during
menstruation is not allowed. Although a man can
still fondle his wife in other ways, as the prophet
used to do it. But his wife privates parts are not
allowed for the husband.
1. Sex is not allowed during Fasting
It is made lawful for you, in the nights of fast, to
have sex with your women. They are a cover for you
and you are a cover for them ... and do not have
sexual intimacy with them while you are staying in
mosques for I'tikaf. These are the limits set by
Allah, so do not go near them. Thus Allah manifests
His signs to the people that they may be God-
fearing. 2:187
This says simply any type of sex is not allowed
during fasting. This also means slight touching for
satisfaction purposes is also not allowed as it may
lead to more and can be cause of a sin. Older people
might have relaxed restriction as their desires are
not that strong. This verse was revealed to allow
sex during the nights in Ramadan. Because before
that sex in the whole month of Ramadan was not
allowed. But one sahabi made a mistake and thats
when this verse was revealed to change the rule.
The following are debatable. More orthodox people
tend to stay humble while other try to be more open.
The group that is humble
You should not look at your women organs if there
is no need even during sex There is no need for
nudity unless the condition required. In case of
intercourse, a woman may just allow his man organ
and she may not need to expose the whole body. It is
probably best to cover the bodies with a blanket to
stay humble. A man should should fulfill his wife if
his needs were meet early. More open group
The group that is more open would allow oral
pleasures which group 1 does not allow. I personally
think if you are not into it, never do it. If you are
somewhat inclined and you think it will please your
partner who demands it, you might break the rule.
But at least keep it to yourself. Since there is no
direct hadith related to it, it should be safe to do
it. In sunni Islam a lot of things are imposed as
precautionary. They are not forbidden but we don't
do it just to be safe. So give yourself some room if
you think you are that type of person.
