Best Answer

act of "unnatural" sex: anal or oral intercourse, or bestiality

Sodomy is sexual intercourse involving anal sex or oral copulation

The word sodomy is derived from the Latin peccatum Sodomiticum 'sin of Sodom'.

The noun, and the verb sodomise are used when referring to anal copulation by a man inserting his penis in the anus either of another man or a woman. If accomplished by force, without consent, or with someone incapable of consent, sodomy is a felony in all states in the same way that rape is.

Homosexual sodomy between consenting adults has also been found a felony, but increasingly is either decriminalized or seldom prosecuted. Sodomy with a consenting adult female is virtually never prosecuted even in those states in which it remains on the books as a criminal offence. However, there have been a few cases, including one in Indiana, in which an estranged wife insisted that her ex-husband be charged with sodomy for sexual acts while they were married. Traditionally sodomy was called "the crime against nature."

Technically, sodomy does not include oral copulation or sexual acts with animals (beastiality), however, in the United States, the term eventually encompassed oral sex as well as anal sex. The crime of sodomy was classified as a felony.

Sodomy is anal sex on someone, man or woman, with or without their consent. The official definition of the word sodomy is "sexual intercourse involving anal or oral copulation."
SODOMY is any sexual intercourse held to be abnormal, especially beastiality, i.e., intercourse with an animal or between two male persons. The term is derived from the biblical city of Sodom, which GOD destroyed because of its sinfulness (see Genesis 18-19). rdg

SODOMY in a general manner are considered "ANY" immoral acts. No need to focus on "SEX", but I'm sure people love too.

Actually it's neither of the above answers.

'Sodomy'

Legally speaking it is a sex act, but only a specific sex act. It is when a person uses a part of their anatomy or any other object to penetrate another persons anus in a sexual manner. It can be voluntary or forced(rape). It also applies to humans doing it to animals as well, Though that falls into the category of bestiality.

Sodomy is a negatively charged term for anal sex. It's a term that can be used in a legal sense or as a moral pejorative.

The specifics will vary depending on what jurisdiction you live in, but in general:

Criminal sodomy is the act of forcing sexual penetration into an orifice not anatomically designed for it, i.e. the mouth or anus.

Criminal fondling is the act of deliberately touching someone in an unwelcome and inappropriate manner; this can include a breast, the buttocks, or the lower stomach. Nor does it require direct skin contact: touching someone this way through their clothing usually qualifies.
