Women get comfortable sex and get as many husbands as they want - this is the practice of the Wodaabe tribe - politicians.

Wodaabe is a Muslim nomadic tribe, traveling throughout the Sahara desert according to small family groups. They can be found in African countries like Niger, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad and Nigeria.

The dance shows the power of men

The most important day in the Wodaabe calendar is September when the tribe gathers together to celebrate Gerewol .

After a year of nomadic deserts, Gerewol - a 7-day festival - is an occasion for all tribes to play, chat and dance. Festival venue is often kept secret, only revealed a few days in advance.

The most special thing in the festival is Yaake dance , when men dress up and perform in front of women to show 'sexual strength'.

Wodaabe men must be prepared for 6 hours before the Yaake dance. They paint red clay on their face, black eyeliner, lipstick to show off their teeth.

Men paint red clay on their face, black eyeliner, lipstick to show off their teeth in Yaake dance.

In addition, they install white ostrich feathers on their hair to increase their height and draw white stripes on their noses to make their faces sharper. The purpose of the dance is to attract women - the audience stands watching from beginning to end.

When the Yakke dance started, the men came out in front of the audience and the female judges.'Candidates' then stand shoulder to shoulder, slowly moving in a circle, singing and dancing.

The three most beautiful women of the tribe were chosen as judges for the Yakke dance. Each judge chooses a winner, and the winners are praised by the tribe and have the right to choose a wife.

Freedom to choose husbands

Not only is the venue, Yaake dance is also where women find husbands. Men dance to show off their bodies but the decision lies entirely in women.

If you like a man, women can wait for this person to come over and pat him on the shoulder.

'We like to see men in Gerewol - just a look and we will know we like them,' said one woman in the 'Wodaabe Dance of Warriors' documentary.

Married women can absolutely come to Gerewol to choose another, more handsome husband. She will signal him to 'rob me' from his first husband.

Not only is the venue, Yaake dance is also where women find husbands.

A Wodaabe man proudly revealed that he had robbed 30 wives during the Gerewol festival.

"You know, robbing a wife is not an easy thing," the man said. 'Only the Wodaabe know! You rob your wife from others and she will give birth to a son for you, even a grandson. Only Wodaabe knows how to do that. '

In general, women in the Wodaabe tribe have 'infinite' freedoms in marriage and sex.

Unmarried girls are allowed to have sex whenever and with whomever they want. They may even have sex with two men at the same time without marriage.

If married women are not handsome, the husband will allow his wife to sleep with another man to give birth to a more beautiful child, according to AFK Travel.

The reason is because the Wodaabe tribe are the most respected in the African tribes. They often consider themselves the most beautiful, and there are no men who do not carry pocket mirrors, according to the Daily Mail.

"A bad married woman will try to escape ," the women in the tribe said. "If she doesn't do that, then it is only possible that she really loves him."

In addition, Wodaabe people also have strange customs about family life.

Traditionally, the wife only lived with her husband until she became pregnant. At that time, she returned to live with her mother and give birth in her mother's home, becoming 'boofeydo' - literally meaning 'the person who made a mistake'.

Unmarried girls in Wodaabe are allowed to have sex whenever and with whomever they want.

While being boofeydo, the wife is not allowed to contact her husband. And the husband is also not allowed to show interest in his wife or children.

After 2-3 years, the girl is allowed to visit her husband but cannot live with her or bring him to visit him. This is only allowed when the mother's mother buys all the necessary supplies for her home. But by that time, the woman may be ready for her second marriage

Unlike women, Wodaabe men have less control over marriage. They hardly choose their wives and have no right to speak when their wives leave others.
