Cultural Homosexuality

I found this VERY interesting atricle today in an anthropology textbook regarding a certain isolated tribe in New Guinea.

In this particular tribe, all of the males are homosexual.

Heterosexual intercourse is considered taboo, some reserved entirely for reproduction, something that happens as part of a ritual. Women who crave sex are considered witches.

However, oral sex from one male to another is considered entirely acceptable, and happens casually. It's actually considered a vital part of boyhood, to ingest a great deal of semen.

Here comes the part that I find fascinating.

In this culture, there is still marriage, of one man to one woman, and does not occur between males.

Food for thought. (no pun intended)

The Trojans did something similar to this, but for different reasons. Basically, young boys were taken out of their homes at a young age to train as soldiers, and lived with nothing but men until they were older(around 18 I think.) Also, each young boy had a mentor, and basically a homosexual relationship was a part of that. The women had something of the like, since there were no men around, all their sexual experiences up until later were with other women, as it was with the men.

The Trojans also had no homosexual marriages, but the heterosexual ones were kind of odd. Towards the beginning of the marriage the wife usually cut their hair short and dressed in the clothes that the young boys wore during training. Then the husband would sneak in during the middle of the night, have sex with her, and leave. I don't think the men even slept in the bed with the women until later on, I guess when he was more comfortable with the idea of sleeping with a woman.

Yeah, Greece was another great example of a culture that embraced homosexuality as a norm.

And yet, they didn't have homosexual mariages either.

This post isnt gonna get pretty...

Uh... i dont think Greece was "mostly" homosexual. And animals simply cant really be homosexual, theyd just die out. I dont buy that, an inbred dog humping another dog certainly isnt gonna prove it's ***. Its quite unnatural.

Anyway *fanning the flames* teehee

What's up GB? I was interested in learning which animals are "homosexual"? Also, please give clearer definition as to how these animals exhibit this characterization.

Not every point is an idiot point, and I draw no conclusions for anyone.

dementor the post is clearly ment to influence a reaction . its backed up even further by this statment at the end of your post.

"In this culture, there is still marriage, of one man to one woman, and does not occur between males.

Food for thought. (no pun intended)"

as well as this post .

"Yeah, Greece was another great example of a culture that embraced homosexuality as a norm.

AoA ive forgotten the links to the studies about homosexuality in nature. im sure you can google them if you like.

and no im not saying all animals of a certian type. but there are instances of dogs ,cats , monkeys, and so on of the animal being strictly ***.
