11 Most Shocking Sexual Traditions From Around The World – Video by NKmirabel(f): 3:15pm On Apr 30, 2016
There is no doubt that sex makes the world go round, even though it can be immoral or illegal just as it can also be a bonding or loving experience, a formality, fun and exciting.

There are some societies out there with cultures that make us look like painfully repressed prudes when it comes to sexual activities. Some of these cultures no longer exist, but there will always be people to take their place.

With so many tribes and small groups out there, it is impossible to list all of the strange sexual customs and adulthood rites that each group might practice. Many societies likely keep their ways of life close to the proverbial chest, away from the judgmental eyes of outsiders.

From a tribe of semen-drinking men to the community of brothers sharing a wife, here is a list of eleven bizarre and shocking sexual lifestyles.

1. The Sambians: The semen-drinking tribe - Papua, New Guinea

To become a man in this primitive tribe, boys are removed from the presence of all females at the age of seven, living with other males for ten years. During the ten years, the skin is pierced to remove any contamination brought upon by women. For the same reason, they also regularly incur nose-bleeding and vomiting caused by consuming large amounts of sugarcane.

They drink the semen of their elders to retain growth, strength, and sexual potency, and when they are reintroduced to society, they continue their nose-bleeding habit to mirror their wives’ menstrual cycle.

2. The Mardudjara: Intimate cutting rituals to achieve manhood - Australia

The Mardudjara Aborigines of Australia have one of the most shocking boyhood-to-manhood transformations out there. For the first portion of this Mardudjara Aboriginal rite, a boy at the age of 10 or 12, has his front tooth knocked out and his septum pierced. He is considered symbolically dead at this point, and then he is taken into the wilderness by other men, circumcised, and then expected to ingest his foreskin without chewing. He is mute throughout the entire process. After he heals up, the penis is then cut lengthwise on the underside, sometimes all the way to the scrotum. Blood is then dripped over a fire in order to purify it. From then on, the male will urinate from the underside of his penis instead of the urethra. Then all of the men go hunting, return to camp with food and covered in blood, and the boy is considered reborn as an adult male.

3. The Trobrianders : The tribe where kids start having sex at 6 – Papua, New Guinea

Papau New Guinea is one of the most culturally diverse countries on the planet with 848 different languages and as many traditional societies. The Trobriand tribe practices magic spells and passes them down through generations, often directing their spells to induce erotic feelings in their lover or to make a person beautiful. The beauty spells are chanted into coconut oil and then rubbed onto a person’s skin. Also, the tribe is known for becoming sexually active at a young age. Girls often start having sex by the age of 6 to 8, while boys start at 10 to 12, with no social stigma. There are few customs about dating to inhibit “hooking up” and, of course, revealing clothing has been taken to its limit, with girls actually going topless.

Another interesting tidbit, while pre-marital sex is fine, pre-marital meal-sharing is not. You're not supposed to go out for dinner together until after you get married.

4. Saut d'Eau: The city where you may witness rituals of voodoo and love – Haiti

Saut-d’Eau is a municipality in Haiti, and its waterfalls are an annual site of religious importance. Every summer in July, voodoo practitioners and religious enthusiasts make a pilgrimage to the holy site to take part in a Eucharistic rite, worshiping the goddess of love. The penultimate devotional activity involves everyone bathing naked under the waterfalls, asking for heavenly favors. Then, some extreme participants take part in a sexual dance, still naked, writhing around in a mixture of mud and the blood of sacrificed animals.

If you travel to Haiti and visit the waterfalls of Saut d'Eau during the month of July, you may witness quite a risqué ritual.

5. The Nepalese: A community where brothers share a wife - The Himalayas

In the populated Himalayas, there is not much land available for farming and grazing, so families with more than one son would have to divide their land when each son starts his own family, providing even less agriculture per family. The solution to this is in finding a single wife for all of the sons of a family so that they can keep the plot and land intact.

In some Nepalese communities, many brothers might share a single wife. Anthropologists call this form of polyandrous societal practice “fraternal polyandry”, where a group of brothers share one wife.

Also, as told in the National Geographic documentary Multiple Husbands, this arrangement works best when the wife is adept at "scheduling" time with each brother to keep jealous flares from rising.

6. The Wodaabee: The tribe where men steal each other's wives - Niger

In the Wodaabe tribe of Niger in West Africa, men are known to steal each other's wives. The Wodaabe's first marriage is arranged by their parents in infancy and must be between cousins of the same lineage. However, at the yearly Gerewol Festival, Wodaabe men wear elaborate makeup and costumes and dance to impress the women – and hopefully steal a new wife.

If the new couple is able to steal away undetected (especially from a current husband who may not want to part with his wife), then they become socially recognized. These subsequent marriages are called love marriages.

7. Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs: The pharaohs who would practice public masturbation

Ancient Egypt was a very sexualized culture, with very few social stigmas for most free men and women. The ebb and flow of the Nile was even thought to be caused by their god of creation’s ejaculation. This idea caused the pharaohs – with their god-given potency – to ritually masturbate into the Nile to ensure a wealth of water for crops. During the Egyptian festival of the god Min, who represented the pharaoh’s sexual power, men regularly masturbated in public.

According to Sex and Society, "even the ebb and flow of the Nile was thought to be caused by Atum's (the god of creation) ejaculation.

The ancient Egyptians were so inspired by the act of self-stimulation that at the festival of the god Min, who represented Pharaoh's sexual potency, men masturbated in public.

8. The Pon celebration: Indonesia

In Indonesia, there is a celebration called Pon. The event is held seven times a year, during which participants travel to a sacred mountain on the island of Java to perform a ceremony of good luck and fortune through sex. Participants have to spend the night and have intercourse with someone other than their wife or husband. It is said that their wishes of good luck will only come true if they have sex with the same person at all seven celebrations throughout the year.

9. Ancient Greece: When pederasty was the social convention

The ancient Greeks did not conceive of sexual orientation as a social identifier the way Western societies have done for the past century.

Ancient Greece was one of the most sexually prolific and accepting societies in history. Homosexuality was a regular social convention, publicly embraced, but Ancient Greece’s tolerance alone isn’t what makes their sexual culture bizarre. Sexual desire was not distinguished by the gender of two people, but rather by an active/passive role that each participant played. The “active” person was the penetrator, mirroring their role in society with high status, adulthood, and masculinity. The “passive” person was the penetrated, mirroring their submissive role as someone with lower standing, and a more youthful countenance associated with femininity.

The most common form of same-sex relationships in Greece were between an older male and an adolescent boy. Pederasty was socially accepted without stigmas because the older man was supposed to act as a role model – teaching, protecting, and loving – to the boy. This practice was called “paiderastia,” or, simply, “boy love.” Until the boy was able to grow a full beard, he was not considered a man.

In Athens, the older man was called erastes, and he was to educate, protect, love, and provide a role model for his eromenos, whose reward for him lay in his beauty, youth, and promise.

To love a boy below the age of twelve was considered inappropriate, but no evidence exists of any legal penalties attached to this sort of practice.

10. Modern Iranian culture: Where you can have a temporary Marriage if you pay for it

We all know that Muslim practices are among some of the strictest regarding sexual intercourse and the relationships between men and women. For instance, Muslim couples are only allowed to have sex in the missionary position. It's considered gross and degrading for a man to ask any other position from his wife.

However, in certain Muslim countries, like Iran, a young couple who would like to have sex before they're ready to marry can request a “temporary marriage.” They are allowed to pay for a short ceremony, with a written contract dictating the amount of time they will be “married.” Once this is done, they can have sex like bunnies without contradicting Islamic law.

11. Ghotul practice: India

The Deer Horn Muria are a forest-dwelling tribe who live deep in Central India’s Chhattisgarh region. They practice something called Ghotul, which is a festive mingling of teenage men and women to teach them songs, lore, tribal dance… and sex. At night, they engage in ceremonial orgies and sexual romps. Girls drink a natural liquor as an herbal contraceptive to avoid pregnancy and then choose different sexual partners every night (talk about every juvenile boy’s dream). If the herbal drink doesn’t work and the girl becomes pregnant, the entire village will adopt the baby since no one knows for sure who the father is. And here we thought the West was sexually liberated.
