The sins of Sodom: arrogrant, inhospitable, coveted, idolatry and sexual sins (violent rape either with same sex or male/female). There were cultic fertility ceremonies done in the heathen temple with male prostitutes who used or substituted the body of another male and pretended that the male was a women in the sex act. This was not acceptable, and considered detestable. In 1 Cor 5:9, Paul is clarifying to the saints that he wrote and told them not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or coveteous or an idolater etc. not to even eat with one. He said he had nothing to do with judging the outsiders (non-saints) because God would judge them. The Church only deals with those in the Church. Then we are (1 Cor.6:18) to shun immorality and all sexual looseness because one commits sin against his own body. The body is the Lord's.
