What does Sodomy mean? I think for whatever reason when I was young I used to hear it being referred to people who have sex with animals (probably from family guy or the simpsons)
Sodomy is classically defined as ANY sexual act that doesn't result in procreation ๐ฌ sooo hand stuff, anal, oral, using birth control...a married sis het Christian couple having sex using a condom? SOdomy! Down to heck with y'all!!! ๐ฎ
I think it refers to
cw
Anal sexBut has generally meant 'deviant sexual practices that the law can condemn and punish at will'
My country had sodomy laws on the books in most states until the late 20th century used primarily to persecute homosexual men.
As far as I understand, it is essentially anal penetration. It is often used nowadays to describe SA in which that occurs, but it used to be (and to some extent still may be) used to criminalize gay sex. Especially since many Christians consider the crime of Sodom and Gamorrah to be homosexuality.
