Discussion
Which of the following sexual offences is also known as 'Greek Love' ?
Answer: C
'Greek love' is a name for buggery.
Buggery, or sodomy, is anal intercourse. Forensic medicine texts note its old name of 'Greek love', from the practices described in ancient Greece. In Indian law it was dealt with under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code as an unnatural offence.
Bestiality is sexual intercourse with an animal, cunnilingus is oral stimulation of the female genitals, and lesbianism is sexual relations between women, also known as tribadism or 'Sapphism', a name taken from the poet Sappho. None of these is called Greek love.
