Well now it's published, not merely in audio form. This is absolutely inappropriate to be speaking about in a public setting that bears NO edification. And this is occuring in large part because Piper's friend Mark Driscoll, the uncouth, disgraced pastor over at Mars Hill and Acts 29, is all about sex. Piper was supposed to be mentoring Driscoll but the reality was that Driscoll has taught Piper much more---impurity. The reality is that bad company really does corrupt good character, as Scripture states. Moreover, I believe that Piper has found a door through which he can learn to be hedonistic.
This is not fruit of a mature, wise, sober minded, discerning Christian "leader". Quite the opposite. Please excuse the topic--I don't even like posting it, but I do so in order to show the increasing apostasy of this man the older and more rebellious he gets. Some just won't believe it unless, I guess, they are shocked out of their complacency.
"We get a lot of questions about relationships, dating, marriage, and of course sex. And that leads to episodes that may not be suitable for all listeners and are really designed to be listened to by married couples. Such is the case today. In the last month ten questions have arrived on the question of oral sex. The question is always the same: Pastor John, is this practice permissible in a Christian marriage, or is it always sinful?"

This also shows why the LOCAL church is the biblical way to deal with issues--not by a paper pope who is a renegade yet has a hold over millions of minds of professing Christians.
