Serious question

Why is anal sex called "Sodomy"?

I dunno...

[Syncopathic]

I think it's a christian term.
It's a term for a sex crime.
I don't know if this is right though.

[Java]

I didn't even know that's what sodomy was.  :-[

Why are you asking on a message board where only you would think to ask a question like that in the first place?

[JrDude]

Every sexy/stupid/weird word(s) has to have another word to make it sound smart.

You are correct sir. It's for anal, oral, and bestiality.

Sodom was a city in the Old Testament that was extremely sinful and decadent. God destroyed it after escorting one good family out. Some interpret the main "sin of Sodom" to be sexual immorality, hence the term "sodomy" came about.

To expand, sodomy is defined by the courts as anything that isn't vaginal intercourse between a man and a woman.
