I always thought that sodomy meant just anal. Then, a couple years ago in class, I found out it could pertain to any sexual acts (including oral) that do not involve vaginal penetration. I also found out that it is even against the law in some states. (Ridiculous, yes, but none the less it's there on the books). As much as I like what Shav contributes to the forums (most of the time), I'm afraid I have to agree with the rest here. It may not be known to many this way, or many simply may have not heard about it described this way, but the fact remains that's what it is defined as.
Originally posted by lioyankAccording to this definition the following subjects are then sodomy:

- masturbation
- watching porn
- foot massages
- kissing
See where this is going. That is why it's wrong.
What you are referring to is a dumbed down right-wing US religious interpretation, hell bent on banning anything other than good old fashioned reproduction. The US legal term as such...
Look up ANY English dictionary. ANY.
Here's from the OXFORD English online dictionary:
sodomy
• noun anal intercourse.
— DERIVATIVES sodomize (also sodomise) verb.
— ORIGIN from Latin peccatum Sodomiticum ‘sin of Sodom’ (after the Book of Genesis chapter 19, which implies that the men of the town of Sodom in ancient Palestine practised homosexual rape).

Originally posted by shavixmirYou're still wrong on any level other than common misconceptive social culture.
All quiet on the sodomy front...
I take it Me, Oxford and Rationality have once again won the day.
Good.
It's horrible to be wrong, and thankfully I am once again right.
No need to bow and kiss my feet (which isn't sodomy), I'll accept your appologies and such by PM.
