The author compares records, from the early modern era, of sodomy trials in two parts of French Switzerland (Geneva, a Protestant city, and Fribourg, A Catholic pastoral area) and presents evidence that: (1) men charged with "sodomy" were prosecuted more often for homosexuality in cities and for bestiality in rural areas, (2) male homosexual subcultures were associated with the growth of large urban centers, (3) sodomy was punished with greater severity than any other crime than infanticide, (4) in both Geneva and Fribourg repression of sodomy increased during periods of religious zeal. With the advent of the Enlightenment, the number of sodomy trials fell as prosecutions for crimes of personal violence declined and prosecutions for crimes against property increased. This is the first English translation of Monter's article, originally written in French.
作者比较了近代早期法国瑞士两个地区（新教城市日内瓦和天主教牧区弗里堡）鸡奸审判的记录，并提供了以下证据：（1）被指控“鸡奸”的男性在城市中更多因同性恋而被起诉，在农村地区则更多因兽奸而被起诉；（2）男性同性恋亚文化与大型城市中心的发展相关；（3）鸡奸罪的惩罚比除杀婴罪之外的任何其他罪行都更为严厉；（4）在日内瓦和弗里堡，宗教狂热时期对鸡奸罪的镇压都有所增加。随着启蒙运动的到来，鸡奸审判的数量下降，因为针对人身暴力犯罪的起诉减少，而针对财产犯罪的起诉增加。这是蒙特文章的首个英文译本，原文为法语。
