Jude 7: Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
I am not totally sure what strange flesh is, but it certainly doesn’t sound good.

Strange flesh.
Strange clothing.
Strange undergarments.
No wedding garments.
Nope.

Could “strange flesh” refer to what began in Genesis 6 that resulted in the matting of fallen angels and humans???

perhaps it refers to the homosexuals going after non-homosexuals - homosexual rape.

“I am not totally sure what strange flesh is, but it certainly doesn’t sound good.”
There are 2 common interpretations for what that means. First, surely the more common, interprets that to mean they were pursuing “unnatural”, or homosexual relations.
The seconds, less commonly accepted interpretation, is that they were seeking to have intercourse with non-human beings, spirits, demons. Evidence for that being that the angel in the story is the one they are interested in copulating with, which might suggest they had had a history of or proclivity towards such relations, though with fallen angels instead of normal ones.
