According to some medieval writers, heterosexual intercourse in other than male-superior position was an act of sodomy because the chances of conception were thought to be lessened...Not all medieval theologians relied on the litmus test of procreative potential to classify sexual sins, however. Many regarded sex between Christians and Jews or between Christians and Muslims as sodomy-even potentially procreative sexual acts could be forbidden if improper partners were involved.
sodomy，「性悖軌」一詞是參考張志維1996年中外文學第289期中的譯法。Sodomy一般指的是肛交，原意專指男性和男性之間的肛交，在古代是宗教上的處罰行為，sodomy law的出發點也是為了定罪於男同性戀，但制定法律需要一些說辭，因此從教會觀點羅織某些性行為是悖離常軌、不自然（違反生殖原則）的...而且不只存在同性、也可能存在異性、夫妻之間

It's worth noting, then, that from the very beginning sodomy and homosexuality were two categorically separate things. The correct definition of sodomy--then and now--is simply non-procreative sex, whether practiced by heterosexuals or homosexuals. It includes oral sex, masturbation, mutual masturbation, contraceptive sex, coitus interruptus, and anal sex--any sex in which semen does not find its way into a uterus. So it's perhaps unsurprising that Jordan's research doesn't discover the actual nouns "sodomy" and "sodomite" until the eleventh century. The first and most influential polemic against it was the hermit monk Peter Damian's Book of Gomorrah. Given the period's expansive definition of sodomy (it did, after all, include masturbation), it's not surprising that Damian believed it was rife. But his particular fixation--which has persisted in religious teachings ever since--is with same-sex male sodomy.

Since the laws had rarely been enforced against heterosexuals, there was no sense of urgency about their repeal.(Or Sullivan, Andrew. Unnatural Law. The New Republic. 2003-03-24, 228 (11).)
