The answer

Not returning to the sin is not enough; repentance is obligatory, and its requirements are to cease the sin, feel remorse, and resolve not to return to it. If these conditions are met, then, God willing, the repentance will be accepted. What was done — despite being forbidden and contrary to human nature — does not reach the level of sodomy.
