ITT: I will be posting anthropological examples highlighting juvenile sexual patterns which differ significantly from those of the modern West.
All examples are quoted from Janssen, D. F., Growing Up Sexually. Volume I. World Reference Atlas, which is available online here:
http://www.sexarchive.info/GESUND/ARCHIV/GUS/GUS_MAIN_INDEX.HTM
These examples highlight instances of pederasty, child marriage, child prostitution, incest, masturbation of infants, initiatory rites where adults have sex with adolescents, and sexual activity between juveniles and adults.
Most of these practices were once commonplace among European people at some point in history.
Trumai, Brazil
>Murphy and Quain (1955 [1966:p83-4]) reported that “there was no heterosexual activity between children, for there were no girls of appropriate age in the village. Thus, pre-pubescent sexual relations occurred between boys or between boys and men, and almost always it was the boys who were the instigators. […] The minor homosexual engagements that took place between the boys themselves were […] in the nature of play”, while no adult homosexuality was seen. “The sexual play of a young child might even include his father”; at least, one is reported to manipulate a boy in erection, without much consideration for observers.
Amahuaca, Peru
>“The Amhuaca marry at age 8 to 11, usually with men in their twenties; however, “[…] most children seem to have their first sexual experiences with siblings, and such experimentation is not considered a violation of taboos” (Huxley and Capa, 1965:p72).
Alkatcho, Colombia
>Goldman (1963:p369): “[…] coitus was thought to be required by all just pre-pubescent children to promote physical growth. Young boys were told by their older age-group, “you better catch a woman pretty soon or you won’t grow”. It was also believed that defloration was necessary to bring on the first menses in girls”.
