    • There are many examples of the unexamined use of these terms even as scholars assume that sodomy was a vice associated primarily with men in most medieval theological and literary discourse. In Renaissance sodomitic discourse even where the term is allowed to encompass a range of acts and behaviours, it is almost exclusively studied in connection with male sexuality. For example, in the collection, Queering the Renaissance, see the articles by Alan K. Smith and Jonathan Goldberg (pp. 84-106 and 218-35).
