Hello, Meghan and Mary Lou! Love this topic (the one about men and sex, relationships, commitment, family, etc.) -- FWIW, and I mentioned this already in a post at Meghan's "man break" essay, what do you think of how this small society deals with male-female relationships, featured in this YT video (if you want to and have about 20 minutes to spare...): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXKvborgwPM It blew me away when I first saw it. Also this one from 2019(?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxCOrw2_2ww

Sadly, I think tourism is causing irreversible (mainly negative, imo) changes to this way of life. Isn't that the way it often goes for women and children the world over? Anyway, just food for thought. If you're interested in more on this worldview (if that's the word), try this other video from Radical Anthropology (a bit hard to follow, as Heidi's voice is so soft and has a German accent, and the captions seem a bit inaccurate at times, but still worth a watch/listen): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ylv0SxTK03E All the best! ❤️👍🏼
