TRUMAÍ(Central Brazil)
Murphy and Quain
(1955 [1966:p83-4])[1] reported that “there was no
heterosexual activity between children, for there were no girls of
appropriate age in the village. Thus, pre-pubescent sexual relations occurred
between boys or between boys and men, and almost always it was the boys who
were the instigators. […] The minor homosexual engagements that took place
between the boys themselves were […] in the nature of play”, while no adult
homosexuality was seen. “The sexual play of a young child might even include
his father”; at least, one is reported to manipulate a boy in erection,
without much consideration for observers.
