The first taboos, or as it will be more clear, the prohibitions in the history of mankind were associated precisely with sexual relations. Promiscuity (promiscuity) led to the emergence of matriarchy, because with promiscuity, everyone knew who the mother was, but did not know who the father was. At a certain stage of development, they realized that sexual relations within the same tribe lead to extinction. Over time, the concept of morality appeared in sexual relations, but many peoples retained unusual sexual rituals, which we will talk about.
1
Public defloration. Egypt
In some areas of Egypt and other countries of the Islamic world, there is a tradition of public defloration of the bride in front of the assembled relatives and guests.
The bridegroom deprived his beloved bridegroom of his index finger, which is wrapped in white cloth. Matter stained with red blood, indicated the purity of the girl.
After that, the woman puts on a burqa, and can show a face exclusively to her husband.

Victim of the goddess. Mesopotamia
We will plunge a little into history. The female population of Babylon was to offer sacrifices to the goddess Ishtar. A woman came to the temple and waited until a stranger chose her.
He gave the woman a coin, took him to a secluded place, where he had sexual intercourse. Some particularly insatiable women used this rite several times a day, and the money received was given in favor of the temple.
Every woman at least once, but had to pay this unusual debt to the deity.

Love for the boys. Ancient Greece
In ancient Greece, mature men loved boys, and there were no prohibitions in this regard.
This even came up with a special term - paiderastia. A wealthy Greek took custody of the boy he liked, took care of him, protected and defended him.
Indecent in Greek society was considered love for boys under the age of 12, but this did not stop anyone.

Experienced brides. Tibet
High in the mountains of the Tibetan Highlands, an enviable bride is a girl who already had a dozen lovers. At one time, virgins were generally forbidden to marry.
Interestingly, even in the notes of Marco Polo it is indicated that the girls of Tibet easily surrendered to foreigners. And if a foreigner liked a foreign wife, then this is considered the mercy of the gods, but they cannot be resisted. But it came to tragedies, the code in the hope of getting a new partner, the girls literally tore the foreigners.

Polygamy. Nepal

The scarcity of fertile land in the Himalayas has created an unusual tradition that anthropologists call fraternal polyandry. Siblings share one wife among themselves, because polygamy in Nepal is common.
The marriage of one of the brothers inevitably leads to the separation of a plot of land from which he could feed his family, and therefore they began to create such polyander dormitories.

The right of the first night. Congo Zaire
In these African countries, there is still a custom when the leader deprives a girl of virginity on the wedding day. So this obliged the female half of the tribe to sacredly preserve their honor until marriage.
But this rite also has a second side. The leader, who could not cope with the honorable duty, was re-elected, and his place was taken by a more energetic and temperamental man.

Castle of Chastity. Africa
In Africa, perhaps, the most unconventional customs and traditions associated with sexual life.
Some tribes do not trust their girls so much that they sew up their vagina in childhood. Threads are removed only on the eve of the wedding.
But in fairness we’ll inform you that the knights of Europe, going on a campaign, dressed their wives with iron chastity belts. With African girls it’s clear that it’s easy to remove the threads, but what about European ladies if the husband dies or loses the key.

Round. Oceania
Among some tribes of Oceania there was a strange custom, in which the girl also sacredly protected her honor before marriage.
But unlike the African tribes, the Polynesians went even further, the bridegroom's friends deprived the bride of virginity. This was done first with a stone knife, and then in a more familiar way for everyone. All this action lasted for three days, and only after a strange ritual did the bride get the groom.

Unusual punishment. Colombia
Incest, as mentioned at the beginning, is condemned and prohibited in many societies. But in the Kagaba tribe that lives in Northern Colombia, incest is also a serious crime.
But here atonement is offered in a very original way. Perpetrators had to repeat sexual intercourse, and then the sin of incest was considered completely atoned for.
By the way, you can look at a photo of the most beautiful Colombian women of the world on our website.

For more fun. Island of borneo
Men of the Dayyak tribe went on painful operations, disfiguring their penis, to give the woman the most pleasure in sex.
The head of the penis was pierced with a silver needle, and then a canal formed in the genitals. Before intercourse, a man inserted various objects into this channel to more stimulate his partner.
Some of the most desperate had several such channels, and such men were considered best lovers.
11
Nature to the rescue. Oceania
On the small islands of Micronesia, men use sentient beings to stimulate women during sex.
Before sexual intercourse, they place an ant on the clitoris to the woman, who, biting, caused acute sexual sensations in her. There were also those who, before copulating with a woman, placed a fish in her vagina, then pulled it out with their teeth, after which sexual intercourse immediately began. How do you like these preludes?

Incendiary love. Island Trak
Women of the island of Truk came up with a very original way of sexual stimulation. During sex, they put breadfruit leaves rolled into a ball on the partner's body, and at some point set fire to it.
In response to this, the man tore his partner's cheeks with his nails, or struck. Oddly enough, but both partners at the same time received great pleasure.
The custom is slightly adapted by the Western world, and women sometimes burn their partner with a cigarette.
13
Feast of betrayal. Indonesia
An interesting way to find female happiness was invented in Indonesia. Seven times a year, the holy night falls - the feast of Pont. Wishing women climb the mountain, and copulate with a stranger.
According to legend, it is believed that happiness will come only to those who seven times have sexual contact with the same man. But it’s strange, because for the second time he will be a pretty close acquaintance of a woman, and for the seventh time ...
But be that as it may, a rather funny way of legalized cheating.
14
Promotion for virginity. Indonesia
We will stay for a short while in Indonesia and consider other customs. So the spouse who cheated on his wife outside the framework of the Pont holiday was subject to castration.
But not only married couples take part in the holidays, but also loners. But some girls are looking for happiness in another, because girls who have preserved virginity before the wedding are paid 10 thousand dollars.
But to the fair sex, the law on the island is harsh. So, women are forbidden to talk and make sounds during sex.
15
Initiation into men. Australia
Becoming a man for some natives of Australia is not easy. Having reached a certain age, the boys went through terrible rites of purification.
First, the tooth was knocked out to the initiate, then circumcision was done. But the suffering did not end there. The boy had to eat part of his own foreskin. And in the end, the phallus was incised and blood was dripped into the fire. The editors of most-beauty.ru are simply shocked by such rituals, but nevertheless we continue to delve into the topic, showing you new sexual rituals.

Early ripening. Papua New Guinea
In some tribes of the island state, sexual relations can begin at 10 years old and even earlier.
No one forbids young people to have sex, but lovers are forbidden to eat together before the wedding. It is noteworthy that once choosing a partner, even in 10 years remain faithful to him all his life.

The cult of the phallus. Japan
It would seem modest and conservative Japan, but it also has its own oddities. There, from antiquity to the present day, the cult of the male genital organ has survived.
There is even a special Kanamar Matsuri festival, in which papier-mâché made penises are worn in the streets, and all souvenirs, and even candy canes, are only of this piquant shape.
Sexual relationships on holiday days are passionate and sophisticated.
18
Night in the jungle. Equatorial africa
It is no secret that many tribes have their own totemic animal. A rather brutal rite of initiation exists among some tribes of the African continent.
Before getting married, the girl goes to the jungle, where she must be raped by a male gorilla. If the animal has not touched the girl, she has little chance of finding a husband. But if she returns barely alive from sexual games, men vying with each other offer her a hand and a heart.

Men's trophy. Republic of Djibouti
Most likely, this custom is already in the past, but back in the 70s of the last century, Europeans reported that the tribes in the Danakila desert, as the trophies cut off the genitals of their enemy.
They should have cut it off, so they wore them in the form of jewelry on their neck, and hung up a camping tent.
In addition, without such trophies, a man of the tribe could not marry, because by giving his beloved cut off phalluses of enemies, he proved to his beloved his masculinity.

Redemption of the bride. West Africa
At first glance, this is a fairly common custom, which is widespread throughout the world. Except for one point. The groom must buy the bride from the mother-in-law, while paying with his body. Namely, the groom must satisfy all the sexual desires of the mother-in-law.
Conclusion
As you can see, unusual sexual traditions are diverse and testify to a great human imagination in matters of sex.
Of course, some sexual customs and rituals are shocking, but this mentality is a habit, fixed by time. For some peoples, this is due to religious beliefs, for others it is a way of life, and some tribes do not know other rules and norms related to sex.
