Sodom, or the Quintessence of Debauchery
''Sodom'' is an obscene Restoration closet drama, published in 1684. The work has been attributed to John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester,〔J.W. Johnson, "Did Lord Rochester write ''Sodom''?", ''Publications of the Bibliographical Society'' 81 (1987) 119-153〕 though its authorship is disputed.〔Harold Love, "But Did Rochester Really Write ''Sodom''?", ''Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America '' 87 (1993) 319-336〕 Determining the date of composition and attribution are complicated owing mostly to misattribution of evidence for and against Rochester's authorship in Restoration and later texts.
== Plot ==
The play consists of five acts in rhyming couplets. There are two prologues, two epilogues and a short final speech. The play begins with Bolloxinion, King of Sodom, authorising same-sex sodomy as an acceptable sexual practice within the realm. General Buggeranthos reports that this policy is welcomed by the soldiers, who spend less on prostitutes as a consequence, but has deleterious effects on women of the kingdom who have recourse to "dildoes and dogs". Prince Pricket and Princess Swivia commit incest with one another. With the court and country reduced to erotic madness, the court physician counsels: "Fuck women, and let Bugg'ry be no more". The king himself, however is unconvinced, while the Queen dies of venereal disease. Amid the appearance of demons, fire, and brimstone, Bolloxinion declares his intention to retire to a cavern and die in the act of sodomising his favorite – Pockenello.〔Phyllis and Eberhard Kronhausen (1969) ''Erotic Fantasies: A Study in the Sexual Imagination''.
