In this week's readings the author talks about different African tribes and the different sex habits, or rituals that they have. Our current event or topic in class was on genital mutilation for both men and women. The two subjects relate, because in the text book the author talks about how some tribes practice female circumcision as a way to ensure that a women is faithful to her husband. During my interview it was discussed that in our society we are more excepting of male circumcision, and that it is a part of our American culture. While female circumcision is seen in a negative light and is considered genital mutilation, so reasons discussed were that it is not done when the child is an infant, it is not done in a medical and safe setting, and it is done as a way to control the females sexual pleasure.
