@gcn
Mitlesende Deutsche informieren sich bitte eigenständig dahingehend, dass der Begriff "Sodomie" im Englischen eine andere Bedeutung hat, als bei uns.
Musste ich auch.

@elala What is the german meaning?

[amgine@mamot.fr]

@gcn @elala

It has the dual meanings of zoophilia/bestiality, and of anal sex.

@Amgine @gcn @elala historically (medieval period) I think the English meaning was similar - sodomy was any sex that could not result in pregnancy. It became narrower later on I believe.

Technically still is.
