To become a man in this primitive Sambian tribe in Papua New Guinea, boys are removed from the presence of all females at the age of seven, living with other males for ten years.
The idea here is to convince everyone in the village that he can live without women. The isolation they encounter not only prevent the boys from having any s*xual activities with women, but also from seducing, or being seduced by married women.
During the ten years, the skin is pierced to remove any contamination brought upon by women. For the same reason, a sharp stick is inserted into the child’s nostrils until he bleeds profusely. They also regularly incur vomiting caused by consuming large amounts of sugarcane.
Older men now tell the boys that the bachelors (warriors) are going to copulate with them orally in order to make them grow. Throughout the six stages of the tribe’s rite of passage, the boy will perform fellatio (bl*wjob) to these warriors to, ironically, prove he is a real man. Because shoving manhood into a boy’s mouth is obviously a great way to make a man out of a six year old.
They testify that these boys will be unable to mature into men unless they ingest semen and that all men have, “eaten the penis”. They are required to ingest the semen of their elders, which is thought to sustain growth and strength.
After formal ceremonies end, the bachelors make erotic advances to the boys and homos*xual activity takes place outside on the darkened dance ground. Not all initiates will participate in this ceremonial homos*xual activity, but in about five days later several will have perform fellatio several times.
Another step in this initiation is to capture a women foe in the hamlet and also kill an enemy warrior. After, the warrior’s semen must be ingested by the boys, the semen in essence of the masculine spirit, would transfer to the enemy and slower and strengthen the dying enemy. When they are finally introduced back into the tribe, they continue to engage in nose-bleeding at the same time as their wives’ menstrual cycles.
The initiate is now a man who has been isolated from women for 12 years; he has practiced homos*xual fellatio (bl*wjob). His young wife has been taught to practice fellatio (bl*wjob) before they even attempt to vaginal intercourse. She must ingest the semen given to her by her husband to later be able to provide for her child while producing breast milk. It is believe that breast milk is transformed semen and therefore it is the men who indirectly nourishes the baby.
However, he is now told how to protect himself from women’s genital odour. In certain cases he must place mint leaves in his nostrils and chew a certain branch while having intercourse with his wife so he will not smell his wife’s genital odour. While having intercourse he must not penetrate too deeply because if it enters her urethra (v*gina) deeply, it might make him ill. After this, he must bathe in a bath of mud and bleed his nose each time his wife menstruates.
