How is sodomy a natural act? Given that the sole purpose of sex is for procreation (in both a Biblical and biological sense no less), how is sodomy a "natural act"? It cannot cause conception, is extremely dangerous for the person on the receiving end and causes pain. This is not a "natural act" now is it?
Natural is not the same as moral or good.
Take, for example, a tiger attacking a deer. It cannot cause conception, is extremely dangerous for the animal on the receiving end and causes pain. It is perfectly natural.
So what is a "natural act"? Animals (apes, elephants, rodents) engage in sodomy. Surely that's natural?
Sex is not just for procreation. If it was, we would, like most animals, only have sex when fertile. This is not the case. It is also for bonding.
I see nothing wrong with sodomy, as long as everyone involved is consenting. "Brutal sodomy" with it's implication of non-consent I would definitely count as wrong.
An Argentine newspaper reports that bored penguins living on the Falkland Islands have devised what they consider a marvelous new game. Noting that the local Royal Air Force pilots are fascinated by penguins, the birds congregate on a beach where the pilots fly over, and turn their heads slowly in unison while standing at the water's edge. Perhaps ten thousand pilots fly by, and when the penguins turn their heads in the opposite direction the airplanes all fly back, like remote control toys. Then, the paper reports "The penguins look directly out to sea, where the planes follow their gaze. Heads and planes go up, up, up, and ten thousand airplanes run out of fuel and fall splashing into the ocean."
