The island where the son is taught by the older sister how to

There are many tribes in the world and groups of people have strange customs and rituals. Especially for marriage and sex, some tribes make the average person surprised with the very open and unique views.

People live in Mangaia, an island in the southern Pacific, with a very open view on sex. At a fairly young age, they began to be taught how to relate well and to satisfy their opponents, the American anthropologist Donald Stanley Marshall wrote in his book 'Human Sexual Behavior: Differences Between nation'.

Both Mangaia men and women are encouraged to have as many sexual experiences as possible before getting married. Although this open-minded attitude helps many people living on the island have a full sex life, it also poses a number of social problems such as unwanted pregnancy or sexual violence.

Mangaia Island is part of the Cook Islands nation. The island has a land area of ​​about 51.8 square kilometers and a population of about 700 people.

Mangaia was identified as the oldest island in the Pacific when geologists estimated it was at least 18 million years old, according to Cook Islands.

According to Marshall author, children here can wear clothes or not, just cover the 'enclosed area'. Clothing is only required at churches or important events.

Children play together until 3 or 4 years old. After that, they were separated and not allowed to go to public places together. This also applies to adult men and women. Even siblings or spouses cannot walk on the street together. Although they have close lives at home, Mangaia men and women do not talk to each other in public places.

Mangaia Island has very strange sexual practices.

At the age of 13, boys are believed to start becoming men and are isolated for about two weeks. During this time, an older man began sex education for the boy. I was taught how to have sex, poses and techniques to make my partner 'top' many times. When this stage ends, the boy will be trained by a girl over the age of practicing the previously learned skills.

For Mangaia people , 'peaking' is the main goal of sex. Mangaia men and women are encouraged to orgasm 2-3 times / night.

For men, the ability to stretch and satisfy women is very important. People who can ' climb' many times a night and have sex every day will be respected by society. Mangaia culture believes that men have a higher sexual desire than women, and as a result men often boast about having so much sex that their partners lose weight or become tired.

When entering puberty, Mangaia girls are also taught how to 'climb' when having sex. They learn this from boys or from older women. If a girl has sex with a guy without "peaking" , the boy will be viewed negatively.

Young women are advised to have 3-4 partners before marriage to gain more experience. Men are considered to have more sexual desires, so there are more sex partners on average. Young people in Mangaia Island often discuss 'sex' with their families, even watching couples older than sex.

Marshall, who conducted a Mangaia study in the late 20th century, found that an average of 18-year-old Mangaia men had sex seven nights a week and would "peak" on average three times a night.

Men continue their relationship when they grow up. The average 28-year-old has sex 5-6 times / week and has an orgasm twice a night. People 38 years of age average sex 3-4 times / week and 'peak ' 1 time / night. 48-year-old men have sex 2-3 times a week and 'peak' once a night, according to the researcher.

Social issues

While observing life on the island, Marshall researcher discovered many consequences of 'comfortable' sex .

In Mangaia, about half of couples are married only after the girl is pregnant or after the first child is born, according to Marshall. In addition, many out-of-wedlock babies are born every year when women still have sex with others when they are married.

Previously, Mangaia people often did not consider this a problem because they did not discriminate against illegitimate children. However, when Western culture became more and more influential, some people began to discriminate on non-father children.

Sexual violence is also a problem in Mangaia. According to Marshal's research, men often beat women if they refuse to have sex with him. This same thing happens in a couple relationship.

Many young men sneak into girls' houses to seduce or use force to force them to have sex with them. If the girl screams and wakes her parents, then the boy stops.
