The word ‘sex’, is controversial enough to initiate a debate on itself, all alone! Things associated to this word automatically grabs the attention of your eyes and ears. And why not? It is an issue of human interest! So, here’s we’ve got you more of this issue. The 5 sexual taboos around the world, you’ve never heard of.
1. Pay for a temporary marriage, and you can have sex!
In a muslim country like Iran, a temporary marriage can happen, if you pay for it. If there’s a couple who wants to have sex before marriage, they can request for a temporary marriage by paying for it, and then can indulge into all sorts of sexual activities for the short span of time to which they’ve agreed to keep their marriage for.
2. Multiple brothers, single wife!
This happens to be in the himalyas, where there are very little lands available to each family for agriculture and farming. This poses to a problem of dividing the land between the sons of the family when they have to start a family. So, as a solution to this problem, they choose to share one wife and form one big family rather than many small families.
3. The tribe where kids have sex!
The Trobrianders is a tribe where kids start having sex as soon as they are six. The age for girls is 6-8, while for boys, it’s 10-12. But what is extremely contrasting and contradicting here is that although everyone can have sex whenever they want, sharing meals before marriage is strictly prohibited here. Which means, here having premature sex is not a taboo here, but sharing meals before marriage is!
4. Older men with younger boys in Ancient Greece!
The most common form of same sex relationship in Ancient Greece was “Paiderastia”, meaning ‘boy love’. This was a relationship between an older man and a young boy. Although this tradition no more exists now, but it was pretty much in fashion during the Ancient Greece.
5. Men steal away someone else’s wives!
It happens to be in West Africa, where a tribe named Wodabee exists. The people of this tribe are already married(they were married in infancy) and when they grow young, during the yearly gerewol festival, the men try to dance and steal away each other’s wives by impressing them!
