To sodomize is to engage in sodomy with someone. Historically, sodomy has been interpreted as any of a variety of sexual acts that are not intended for reproduction, including anal sex, oral sex, or any nonheterosexual sex act.
It is most commonly applied to anal sex between men. Sodomize is often used in an offensive way meant to condemn such sexual activity as deviant.
The history of the word, including the legal prohibition of activities labeled sodomy , is inseparable from a long history of institutionalized prejudice and hatred toward gay people.
For this reason, the term is inappropriate or offensive in many contexts. The first evidence of the word sodomy comes from the s, and records of sodomize appear in the s.
But the history of the word is ancient. The word sodomy comes from Sodom, the name of the city described in the Biblical account in the Book of Genesis. According to the account, God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah for what are portrayed as unacceptable sexual practices, primarily anal sex between men.
Among Christians throughout history, the predominant interpretation of this passage of the Bible is that sodomy is a sin involving nonprocreative sex sex that is not intended for procreation , or reproduction , especially nonheterosexual sex and anal sex.
Other Christians believe that the passage instead condemns rape and violence. Throughout history, sodomy has often been made illegal, and laws prohibiting sodomy still exist in some countries. According to the Book of Genesis , the city of Sodom was destroyed together with all its population for the sins of its people. There are also a number of references to this event in the Qur'an.
More often it is used to mean intercourse through the anal passage, especially between males. It was decriminalized in England in for males of over 21 years of age with mutual consent and in private. Later the age of consent was reduced and is now Once subjected to such act, a sodomized male becomes addicted to these sensations, and experiences cravings to repeat these experiences again. Men are sodomized either by force homosexual rape , or seduction, or by experimentation.
