“Sexual Behavior in Pre Contact Hawaii” Milton Diamond PhD

an excerpt:

Sexual needs and desires were seen as being as basic as the need to eat, and the young were instructed in matters of sex. Adults attended physically to the sexual development of the young, including the preparation of their genitals. These sexual interactions between adults and the young, from the society痴 perspective, were seen as benefiting the young individual rather than as gratifying the adult. The sexual desire of an adult for a nonadult, heterosexual or homosexual, was accepted (Pukui, Haertig, and Lee, 1972, p. 111), and the regular erotic preference by an adult for a young individual probably was viewed more as being unusual than as being intrinsically bad.

A shame such a culture was left behind.

BTW Billi, STD’s only became a problem after the white man showed up.

Oh, little 10yo lover that could have been. I feel so . . . unusual.
