Obviously any claims related to sexuality should be taken with a grain of salt. It's an interesting topic, however, especially the relation of genetics to homosexuality. The Aka are an interesting subject in human sexuality because according to these studies, they have far fewer taboos than typical western views on sex. As for masturbation, I find the claims hard to believe, but even if I were to accept that the adults see no need to masturbate because they have sex, what about the teens? Anyways, I just thought it was an interesting article, and maybe someone has more insight into this.

Definitely an interesting article. The fact that one tribeswoman said she's too scared to have sex now because of how many babies she's lost was pretty telling. Sex is fun obviously but it's serious business for them.
Thanks for the article.
