a word derived from the biblical town of sodom, heavily laden with connotations of
homosexual immorality.
in its original context the word referred to any form of sexual activity not including heterosexual vaginal intercourse. it thus included
masturbation and any form of oral sex, whether heterosexual or
homosexual. however, judeo-christian moralists co-opted the term as part of their long standing persecution and demonisation of homosexuality, and, rightly or wrongly, the term has now come to refer almost exclusively to gay anal sex.
