FYI: In the 1986 Bowers vs.

Hardwick decision, the United States Supreme Court upheld the right of states to criminalize anal and oral sex. Twenty-five states and the District of Columbia have sodomy laws. In seven of these states, the sex is illegal only when enjoyed by persons of the same gender.

Ohio's sodomy law

was repealed in the 1970's.
