Etymology
Sodomy comes from the biblical city Sodom, which stories say was destroyed for 'sexual wickedness' and certain forbidden sexual acts. That's why sodomy came to mean some specific sexual activities, often anal sex and, in older use, sex with animals, and why laws and views about it have varied widely.
