“At present, a boy’s heterosexual activities begin at the age of 12 to 15 when he builds a bachelor hut […]. Until this time, sexual activities will consist primarily of masturbation, practised either singly or in groups, but we have no information on its frequency” (Karp and Karp, 1973:p392-3)[1]. The hut is shared with younger brothers and sisters, which “may very well constitute a learning experience for them”.
