When Afro-Venezuelan children get older, girls and boys are
segregated; then the father may develop some pedagogic interest in his sons,
who are taught the values of the macho world, while the girls remain under
the influence of their mother[1]. The transition from childhood to
adulthood takes place “very quickly” and is not marked by initiation rites.
Havelock Ellis cites Ernst[2] in the observation of early
masturbation among Spanish creoles.
