Etymology

The term of sodomy comes from the name of the town of Sodome which, according to the Bible, was destroyed by God for his manners considered to be perverse (cf the episode of Sodome and Gomorrhe). In this episode, it would not be explicitly mentioned sodomy such as one currently defines it: the inhabitants of Sodome are indeed characterized by a great sexual appetite. All in all, Sodomites (inhabitants) are not inevitably sodomites (practitioners of the anal penetration).

The writer François Cavanna announces that we on the other hand to date did not find any information on the gomorrhie. The term is regarded as synonym of sodomy.

In certain contexts, in particular legal classifications of certain federate States of the the United States of America, the English term sodomy includes others practical sexual judged deviating by some, in particular the Cunnilingus and the Fellation (contact between the mouth and the sex). In German ( ) and in Norwegian ( ), the term does not refer to the anal penetration at all but indicates the Zoophilie.

In a similar way, the term “guy” (of the Latin Bulgarus , which gives to the Former French bogre ) indicated in the beginning the Bogomile S (“friendly of God” of Bulgarian the Bog “god” and “friendly” mile ), members of a sect Bulgare hétérodoxe near to the movements Cathare S. One had shown these bogomiles Péché of sodomy so - inter alia - turning them in derision. “Guy” thus came from there not to more indicate only Bulgares bogomiles, but also in an abusive way the sodomites. By loss of flavor, the term designated a “strapping man” and finally a “individual”. The English cognate kept the original direction of sodomite.

Plato named covered sodomy the “of the males”.

Some call sodomy a 99 in reference to the 69 .

Historical aspects

Sodomy between men, if it were not the privileged sexual position, was practiced in the ancient Greece, like with Rome, within the framework of a relation between an older man, the Master, credit, and its pupil, liability, younger.

Practical

Contrary to the Vulva and the Vagina, the Anus and the Rectum do not secrete a natural Lubrification facilitating the sexual relation. However, the anus particular is innervé, source of a possible pleasure for the receiver. Moreover, at the time of male passive sodomy, the pressure exerted against the Prostate can lead to a Orgasme.

Saliva is insufficient like lubricant and the risk of lesions of the fragile anal mucous membranes also is préféréable to use is major an artificial lubricant or a lubricated condom. However, even this last requires the addition of a lubricant if the movements are prolonged. Formerly, the Vaseline was generally used, but containing fat, it weakens the Préservatif S while being washable with more difficulty. Nowadays, thus are rather used lubricating close friends containing water or of silicone.

The rectum which can contain remainders of fecal Matter, some practices a rectal injection before beginning a sodomy. Nevertheless this practice can weaken the rectum. Moreover, the rectum is normally empty if one completely déféqué a few hours before the report/ratio.

Medical risks of sodomy

A too brutal penetration can cause microcuts or bleedings. Sodomy can cause anal cracks, even (for the extreme practices derivative of sodomy) a anal Prolapsus or a anal Incontinence.

The anal Sphincter is normally tightened, except during the defecation. So sodomy can be painful.

In addition, the rectal mucous membrane is fragile and porous with the viruses and bacteria. It with the property (from which the Suppositoire S benefit) to absorb the substances deposited in the rectum. Consequently, it is a ground favourable with the exchanges of sexually transmitted diseases, in particular of the AIDS.

Popularity

In 1998, at the time of a survey carried out in France, 33% of the questioned people state to find “rather not” or “at all shocking” that their partner proposes sodomy to them, against 47% choosing the answer “completely” or “rather shocking”. In 2001, 29% of the questioned women state to have practiced sodomy showed that 9% of the women had already practiced the sodomy including 6% per pleasure. The principal determinant which influences the practice of sodomy is the " précocité" sexual: In the investigation ACSF, for an age bracket given, one earliest found much more practitioners among the 25% of the group having their first report/ratio (" précoces") that among the 25% having their first sexual relation later (the " tardifs"). " For example, among the women from 25 to 34 years, 44% of early tried out this practice, against 25% of the tardives." In the American investigation NHSLS, among the 18-44 years, 5% of the women found sodomy (passivates) gravitational. At the men, 14% were attracted by active sodomy and 11% by passive sodomy. Always at the 18-44 years, 18% of the women (22% of the men) found attracting the fact of having their anus stimulated by the finger of their partner, however that 13% of the women and 26% of the men were attracted by the fact of stimulating the anus of their partner.

Statistics

Fifteen years after the second national survey on the sexual behavior of French (ACSF, 1992), the INSERM, the ANRS and the INED carried out a new investigation " Context of Sexuality in France" (CSF) near the 18-69 years. According to this investigation, 37% of the women and 45% of the men already made the experiment of it (against respectively 24% and 30% in 1992). However, the practice remains occasional since 12% of the women of 25-49 years say to practice it often or sometimes. The detailed analysis of investigation ACSF showed that sodomy was practiced only with one frequency from 1 to 3% during a sexual relation. To the United States, sodomy did not enter either the regular practices of American: 9% of the people questioned at the time of the great national survey NHSLS (National Health and Social Life Survey, led in 1992) said to have had an anal report/ratio during the past year and only 2% of the men and 1% of the women, at the time of their last sexual relation. Figures completely similar to those of the Australian national study ASHR led in 2001-2002: 0,9% from the men and 0,7% of the women old from 16 to 59 years had practiced sodomy at the time of their last sexual relation. It seems that sodomy being tested rather early in the sexual life (without that prejudged integration in the usual sexual répetroire). In 2000, Baldwin and Baldwin published a study detailed on the anal reports/ratios in a population of American students heterosexuals (Middle Age: 20 years 1/2, 63% of the answers came women): 78% had already had a vaginal report/ratio and 18% an anal report/ratio. Among the not-virgins, 22,9% had also already practiced sodomy (on average at 18 years 1/2, whereas the Middle Age of the first vaginal report/ratio was 16 years 1/2). They were more often boys (28% of the men not-virgin of the study) that girls (19% of the not-virgins) but the authors see this differences growing blurred the other variables once (influencing the fact of having an anal report/ratio) takings into account.

Sodomy and virginity

Repression

Sodomy versus reproduction

Practical regarded as deviating since not leading to the reproduction, surrounded of the Taboo S related to the functions excrétrices (the anus being concerned), especially in civilizations where these natural functions are considered to be ashamed, sodomy is perceived in a very diverse way according to the companies and the religions. Nowadays, certain countries always criminalisent sodomy between agreeing adults, going even until requiring the Capital punishment. Sodomy also is very often brought closer to male homosexuality.

This reinforces the Tabou S around sodomy. Indeed, the idea that a man penetrates another man undermines the stereotypes sexists wanting that the man is penetrating it active , penetrated the passive being regarded as lower .

Sodomy and male power

In the ancient Rome, a free man who sodomized his slaves expressed his power. On the other hand, a sodomized free man plastered himself with a lower row, and this passivity was regarded as ashamed. It is for these reasons that one counts, under the most current Injure S homophobes, of the expressions like (salts) asshole or will make you fuck up the ass , which recalls well that, in a stereotyped and unconscious way, that which is made sodomize, especially a man, would be less than one man, a under-being.

Let us note that the word to fuck up the ass is a vulgar synonym word to sodomize and that the insult can become simple a Interjection, asshole! , altogether démotivée and sometimes positive even affectionate. In the same way, the expression get stuffed at the Greeks can mean will make you fuck up the ass (at or by the Greeks) because of the stereotype according to which the Greeks would be homosexual and thus would practice sodomy.

Legal aspects

In English, sodomy does not indicate only the anal penetration. In the expressions like sodomy law , law which governed the practices accepted or prohibited in such or such American State, it was necessary to include/understand sodomy like practical sexual judged deviating , among which, in addition to sodomy could be counted the Fellation and the Cunnilingus. These laws, generally, were manners of prohibiting the Homosexualité. They were pressed on a stereotype making of the homosexual male sodomites, whereas this practice is of course not accepted by all the homosexual ones and that Hétérosexuel S practice it too.

Section 377 of the Indian Penal code, entitled “Of the offenses against-nature” punishes “the contrary carnal relations with the order of the nature” of a sorrow which can reach 10 years of imprisonment.

In 2003, the Supreme court of the United States declared anticonstitutional the laws of certain States federated against sodomy. They violate the E amendment of the constitution which protects the private life and freedom from the American citizens. Thirteen federated States, especially located in the south of the country, hitherto practiced laws against sodomy between agreeing adults, of which four condemned also the fellatios: the Texas, the Kansas, the Oklahoma and the Missouri.

July 1st, 2006, appears in Zimbabwe article 73 of the " criminal law" , threatening that practitioner sodomy the two years of prison although this law, mentioning sodomy explicitly, rather seems to aim at homosexuality.

Sodomy, religion, mythology

The Catholic church condemns sodomy as a homosexual practice|date= Some consider that there would be a bad interpretation of the Bible, and that this one, at least in the episode of Sodome and Gomorrhe, would not be expressly mentioned. (Cf Christian Vision of homosexuality for a thorough study). The most serious theologists learnedly discussed on the nature of sodomy; one will find an excellent summary of it, in the Compendium Theologiae Moralis Sancti Alphonsi Mariae de Liguori of the canon Neyraguet, several times republished at the 19th century.

The ones, says it, estimate that sodomy consists in the carnal trade in the undue vase, and others in the carnal trade with the undue sex . But the second opinion being more probable, it can thus have sodomy between women there, even if our theologists wonder how they would be caught there, but not between a man and a woman; the coitus of the male in the posterior vase of the female being only one imperfect sodomy, distinct in its gasoline from perfect sodomy. On the other hand the fellatio by a man can be described as sodomy, contrary to that which a woman practices: if to vir polluitur in ore fæminæ, erit copulated inchoata if vero in ore husbands, erit sodomia .

A legend wants that sodomy was practiced like ceremony of establishment of the novel members of the order of Templiers. The qualifier sodomite formed besides part of the Bill of indictment at the time of the Procès of Templiers.

Mythology

There would exist a Chinese god of sodomy called Chou Wang (see the reserved article for more explanations).
