I'm just reading this paper about behavioural psychology
And whether it's all rubbish because they only study people from WEIRD societies (Western, Educated, Industrial, Rich, Democratic).

Opening paragraph:

In the tropical forests of New Guinea, the Etoro believe
that for a boy to achieve manhood he must ingest the
semen of his elders. This is accomplished through ritualized
rites of passage that require young male initiates to
fellate a senior member (Herdt 1984/1993; Kelley 1980).
In contrast, the nearby Kaluli maintain that male initiation
is only properly done by ritually delivering the semen
through the initiate’s anus, not his mouth. The Etoro
revile these Kaluli practices, finding them disgusting.

Awesome.

That's just the usual Tuesday night at Canal street.

Terrible
if only they had the moral guidance of the church to see the error of their ways and ensure this type of thing never happens again!
