sodomy  

c.1297, from O.Fr. sodomie, from L.L. peccatum Sodomiticum "anal
sex," lit. "sin of Sodom," from L. Sodoma, ult. from Heb. s'dom
"Sodom," morally corrupt city in ancient Palestine, said to have been
destroyed, with neighboring Gomorrah, by fire from heaven (Gen.
xviii-xix). Sodomize coined 1868. In Du. slang, besodemieteren means
"to deceive," and evidently is built from the traditional notion of
"corruption" in Sodom.

sodomy [( sod -uh-mee)]

Sexual intercourse that is not the union of the genital organs of a
man and a woman. The term is most frequently applied to anal intercourse
between two men or to sexual relations between people and animals. ( See
pederast .)

Note : According to the Bible , God destroyed the cities of Sodom and
Gomorrah for unacceptable sexual practices, apparently including anal
intercourse between men. Sodomy takes its name from the city of Sodom.

Note : Many governments have laws against sodomy. These laws are
difficult to enforce, however, and many people believe they violate
personal privacy.
