There's a tribe where the pre-adolescent boys perform fellatio on the adult males.  They believe that you need to consume enough semen to become a man.  Once the child hits puberty, they know he's had enough semen.

While we would generally consider this sexual abuse, they see it in a very different cultural light.

Not justifying pedophilia or anything, just thought that was germane to zippo's point.

What are you basing that on, but your own preconceptions, formed from your own cultural conditioning?

Why wouldn't it be? Is sucking cocks inherently unpleasant?

Sativus said:

Yeah, I gotta gree with Sirius.  No matter how revoltingly unpleasant the idea of sucking a cock is based on our cultural conditioning, I can't imagine that's universal.  What is and isn't taboo, acceptable, etc. varies a lot in different societies.

I think it's pretty fucking disgusting and inhuman that we seek out indigenous people whose land we can use for resources, and whose people we can use as capital.  To me, that seems utterly wrong and morally reprehensible. America feels differently.
