Re: ''Crimes against nature''
i will give you the definition from a law book to answer your question:
"sexual relations between persons of the same sx, or with beasts, or between persons of different sex in an unnatural manner, whether labeled as sodomy, buggery, bestiality, cunnilingus, or otherwise. it has been held to include all forms of unatural carnal copulations." "the commission of the crime against nature, whether with mankind or beast, either before or after marriage" is a ground for divorce in alabama.
