Just as the world is wide, there are also a lot of crazy sexual traditions. Culture, they say, is a total way of life, and this apparently affects how sex is performed by many clustered civilizations. As much as we should excuse people to have it their own way, it could get weird when sexual activities are perceived to be slightly out of the ‘normal’ in human terms.
From the earliest times till date, and from the farthest cultures to the nearest, one thing that is true is that people have practiced having sex differently for different purposes. There are many who consider sex something that has to do with procreation. Others, however, believe sex exists for no other reason except pleasure. How much do you know about other people’s sexual traditions?
Here are Some Crazy Sexual Traditions that Exist around the World
1. The Sambians – Semen Drinking
Among the Sambians, it is believed that in a man’s semen, there is masculinity. Because of that, it is expected that for a child to develop into a complete man, he has to take in semen from older men—a practice they call “eating the penis.”
They claim sperm turns a boy into a man by giving him the strength he needs to defend the tribe. They also claim that unless boys drink sperm, they can’t have any in themselves.
Something more surprising among the Sambians is their homosexual tendencies. Young men are not only given semen to drink but are also assaulted through the anus. At a very young age, boys are selected by their fathers and given to other men to turn them into “men.” In such relationships, the boys are regarded as the “mo-mog” (anus-son), while the adult is referred to as the “mo-e” (anus-father).
2. Trobriand Islands – Sex Starts when You are Only Six and You can Decide to Change Spouse if You Want
One of the crazy sexual traditions around the world is found in the Trobriand Islands. First of all, the Trobriand Island people are found in New Guinea, and they believe that there is no link between childbirth and sex. As such, there is no problem if a woman has many lovers or if a married woman decides to have sex with anyone. More so, children begin having sex very early in life because virginity means nothing to them.
3. Mangaia: Older Women Get to Teach Young Men How to Have Sex
The Mangaia people believe that sex education is very important. (The practical sex education, I mean.) The idea of this is to ensure that young boys and girls learn the art of pleasing each other.
Those not married are encouraged to have as much sex as possible so that once they get married, they can satisfy each other. And for those married, getting married at least once a month is what is needed.
4. Cartagena, Columbia- Sex with Donkeys
If you think you have seen the craziest sexual traditions in the world, you may be making a mistake. Among the Cartagena people, young boys are advised to have sex with donkeys not only to get experience and stamina but also to increase their sizes, as they believe donkeys help stretch the man’s penis. It is at puberty that young boys get to have this encounter.
5. Pon Festival in Indonesia – Sex with a Stranger
This festival happens as many as seven times a year in a 35-day circle, and people go up to Mount Kemukus, which has come to be regarded as the sex mountain where people go to do rituals and worship.
Once you are done worshiping on the mountain, which is located near the village of Solo in Java, you are expected to find yourself a stranger and make out. That is, unless you don’t want good luck and fortune to follow you.

6. Guajiro of Colombia- They Dance and if you are Tripped You get to have Sex
Among the people here, there is a form of ceremonial dance in which men and women get to dance together. A woman has to make a man fall while dancing, and when she is able to do that, the two of them can now have sex. It is as simple as that.
7. Kreung Tribe in Cambodia- They Build Sex Huts for their Girls
This sex culture is very peculiar because, while in many others women are protected, among the Kreung, once a girl reaches 15 or even less, a hut is built for her by her father to have men in as much as she likes and they can sleep over. The goal is simply for her to keep having sex with as many men as she wants until she is able to find a man that she wants to keep. Once she is married to the man, there is no way for them to divorce.
7. The Little Island of Inis Beag – The act is Repressed and Adults Only Have Sex After Marriage
While in many other places, you find people encouraging even children and married people to have sex with strangers, on this island, the act is highly repressed. In fact, even children are always fully clothed. Adults have sex only when married, and they do it with clothes on. Only missionary style is allowed, and there is no foreplay.
9. Rural Austria – Women Feed Armpit-Flavoured Apples to Their Partners
Young women in rural Austria perform a traditional dance whereby they stuff slices of apples in their armpits. When they finish dancing, the women offer the apples to the men they like. Any man who collects an apple given to him by any woman eats it and becomes entitled to have sex with her.
10. Nepali – Brothers Share only 1 Woman so that they don’t Have too Many Children
In the Nepali tribe, it is common for all brothers to marry only one woman. This is because they were running away from having a lot of children due to their limited properties and farms.
