Our world is diverse and amazing, and the rituals, customs and traditions of different peoples simply amaze with their originality and uniqueness. Everywhere marriages are combined in different ways, cooking, dressing, raising children, receiving guests and even drinking tea. It goes without saying that the traditions of a sexual nature are also radically different, and are not always acceptable to us, but they are followed and honored, and therefore it is interesting and informative to study them. Are you ready to be surprised?
Tibet
Unlike our ancient traditions, virgins were not taken as wives in Tibet. The most prestigious brides were those girls who had a solid sexual experience. The inept ones were ignored. According to the local population, the wife should be able to please her husband, and not learn the arts in marriage.
Japan
A rather strange tradition existed in Japan in the last century. If brides were stolen in the Caucasus, then here the guy had to climb into the window naked to the girl he liked and climb under the covers with a proposal to copulate. If the sympathy was mutual, then there was a sexual intercourse, but if the offer was followed by a refusal, then the guy left, not eating salty and naked.
New Guinea
Children from the Trobriand tribe begin their sex lives at an early age. Girls have sexual intercourse at the age of 6, and boys at the age of 10. It is also considered normal for girls to go topless there , but it is categorically unacceptable to sit at the same dinner table until they are married .
Australia
A terrible rite of initiation into men exists in the Mardujara tribe . Upon reaching 10 years of age, the fry are knocked out the front tooth, pierced the nasal septum, circumcised in the wild, after which they are forced to swallow the severed foreskin, and blood is sprinkled from the incised penis on the fire. Only after all these shocking manipulations are boys considered men.
Europe
In the last century, not all European brides married virgins, but almost all created the appearance of purity. To do this, a fish bladder or a sponge soaked in blood was thrust into the vagina before the first wedding night. There were enough marks on the bed to confirm defloration .
North Kamchatka
In remote settlements, there is a very strange custom for a guest of a house to copulate with a hostess. Moreover, the consent of the guest to have sex with the wife of the head of the family is regarded as a great honor, especially if the result of this purchase is pregnancy.
Perhaps some sexual customs will seem wild to you, but for some peoples – this is the culture of their life – the more interesting it is to study such rituals and learn their roots. The main thing is not to confuse such curiosity with sex tourism. But that’s a completely different story.
