A commune or a cult would be better than this circus lol

          Interesting, and indeed a dilemma. I basically mentioned it because just yesterday I saw a guy talking about “sex in the past”, and he happened to mention this, apparently in an even more idealized/outdated way.

          Basically he said that a bunch of them would go through a “bonding ritual” at the age of 14, and from then on live like a sort of communal marriage, where the woman would shoo out the husband because she had a date with some other guy of the group, and that they were the “happiest people in the world” and would act surprised at outsiders’ focus on their sexual practices.

          From the other article, it sounded more like forced marriage and women abuse… and here it sounds like most of them want to get out of there.

          Interesting series of takes.

        god I was hoping it was like tourists show up and just get laid by natives but instead it’s just weird cuckolding.
