SODOMY

Sodomy

Sodomy is generally anal sex, oral sex or sexual activity between a person and a non-human animal, but may also include any non-procreative sexual activity. Originally, the term sodomy was usually restricted to anal sex, and is derived from the story of Sodom and Gomorrah in chapters 18 and 19 of the Book of Genesis in the Bible. Sodomy laws in many countries criminalized not only these behaviors, but other disfavored sexual activities as well. In the Western world, however, many of these laws have been overturned or are not routinely enforced.
