The answer

It is not permissible to associate with bad company. Attempting to commit an indecency is considered a precursor to evil, not sodomy. Sodomy is penetration into the anus of a male. Regret over what happened is a good sign, and one must seek forgiveness. You did not commit the act of the people of Lot, so do not succumb to the whispers of Satan that call for despair from the mercy of Allah.
