These
islanders from a remote tribe in Papua guinea seem like a case study in
the ultimate consequences of the sexual revolution.
Girls
want sex just as much as guys, and kids start having sex at a very
young age — 6-8 for the girls and 10-12 for the guys — with no social
stigma.
They change partners often. Women are just as assertive and dominant as men in pursuing or refusing a lover.
This is not only allowed but encouraged. There are few customs about dating to inhibit “hooking up” and, of course, revealing clothing has been taken to its limit, with girls actually going topless. However, everybody have sex whenever they want.

In
the Trobriand Islands, there is no traditional marriage ceremony. A
young woman stays in her lover’s house instead of leaving it before
sunrise. The man and woman sit together in the morning and wait for the
bride’s mother to bring them cooked yams.
The
married couple eat together for about a year, and then go back to
eating separately. Once the man and woman eat together, the marriage is
officially recognized.
When
a Trobriand couple want to marry each other, they show their interest
by sleeping together, spending time together, and staying with each
other for several weeks. The girl’s parents approve of the couple when a
girl accepts a gift from a boy.
After
that, the girl moves to the boy’s house, eats her meals there, and
accompanies her husband all day. Then word goes out that the boy and
girl are married.
If
after one year, a woman is unhappy with her husband, she may divorce
him. A married couple may also get divorced if the husband chooses
another woman.
The
man may try to go back with the woman he left by giving her family yams
and other gifts, but it is ultimately up to the woman if she wants to
be with that man.
