There is no description of sodomy in the Song of Solomon.

That would depend on your definition of “sodomy”. Oral sex appears to be mentioned in Song of Solomon. The book references “taste” in the following two passages ...

- “Awake, O north wind, and come, wind of the south; make my garden breathe out fragrance, let its spices be wafted abroad. May my beloved come into his garden and eat its choice fruits!” (Song of Solomon 4:16)

- Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. In his shade I took great delight and sat down, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. (Song of Solomon 2:3)

I am not a biblical scholar, and biblical interpretation can be tricky ... but those sound like references to oral sex to me (both male-to-female, and female-to-male).
