noribear90: cracked: In the Kreung culture, girls are encouraged to sleep with as many boys as they need to in order to find a husband. It’s basically dating, only without the stigma associated with premarital sex, and confined entirely within four-legged sex huts. If a girl is interested in a boy, she’ll invite him back to her private clubhouse for an intimate evening that may or may not result in sex, depending on how well his jokes are landing. Regardless of the outcome, the boy has to get his ass out of the hut by dawn, because a young man and a young woman aren’t allowed to be seen in public together unless they are officially a couple. It’s a little like high school in that regard. 5 Cultures With Bizarre Mating Rituals Okay the way this was written is totally gross, but it’s a cracked article so no surprise there. I’m gonna reword things a little here and provide sources so they aren’t misinforming or degrading. “Bizarre Mating Rituals”? Really?? Let’s break this down by looking at this headline: “Parents in Cambodia Build Their Daughters Love Huts Specifically for Casual Sex” Yeah, that is super awesome and all but let’s not leave out the important details! So the culture that practices this tradition specifically are the Kreung tribes, a minority that are scattered in 27 villages in Ratanakiri province. Meanwhile the majority of Khmer culture generally frowns upon premarital sex and arranged marriages are a pretty common practice. lol thankfully not all of us follow this tradition anymore, my mom has saved me from a few set ups… >__> But yeah, Kreung culture is different from Khmer culture. Let’s fix this headline a bit before we move on: Parents of the Kreung Tribes in Cambodia Build Their Daughters Love Huts Specifically for Casual Sex “The love huts tradition may seem risky to our western minds - a recipe for rape, unplanned pregnancy and unhappy relationships, but actually the elders report that divorce is rare and rape is unheard of. The girls feel no pressure to have sex with anyone if they don’t want to and it is taken as read that if the girls do not want the boys to touch them, they won’t. Virginity is not judged like it is in more conventional Cambodian culture; if a girl finds a boy she prefers, she simply stops having sex with the one who is currently visiting her in the love hut. It is up to the individual how many lovers they have but the men agree “about ten” is the average number of love interests a person needs to meet their soul mate. Often nights spent with would-be-boyfriends just result in friendship. Girls are adamant that before they sleep with any man, he has to “prove his love”. It’s hard to know exactly what that entails, but it seems to be him promising his undying commitment and also, being able to talk to him. The Kreung people are surprisingly romantic. .However, they are practical too and aware of the consequences of unprotected sex. NGOs have now begun to encourage Kreung people to use condoms, however, the very fact that the girls are so discerning about who they sleep with and only give their trust to boys they know genuinely care for them goes some way to avoiding unwanted pregnancy. Parents of Kreung girls are certain that the independence the love huts provide their other daughters will ensure they will have strong marriages in later life since the huts afford them lots of time spent together, finding out whether they are emotionally and physically compatible..” Parents from the Kreung Tribes in Cambodia Build Their Daughters(and Sons) Love Huts Specifically for Casual Sex so They Can Establish and Ensure Strong Marriages with the Person They Love However we must also acknowledge that this tradition is also starting to slip away from the Kreung community because of influence from Khmer culture. “Kreung villages used to be cut off from the rest of society, which enabled them to preserve their traditions. But now, they have access to Khmer culture through TV and radio. They know that according to Khmer culture, it’s not good to have sex before marriage. They also go to Cambodian schools, where teachers will educate them according to mainstream society.” - Sarim Heang, executive director at the community development organisation CANDO Cambodia Fuck cracked.com really. Kreung love huts are more than just “private clubhouses”, they are built for girls coming of age and gaining their independence. Labeling it under “bizarre mating rituals” sounds so gimmicky and takes away its importance. I better not run into any white dudes asking me which direction to get to my love hut cuz they read up on the different bizarre mating rituals of exotic cultures *barf* Also way to use a photos of houses from the wrong province lol. Those look more like Siem Reap than Ratanakiri :/ Here are some photos of Krueng people and their beautiful huts Poeun, 17 in the O’Chum district, Ratanakiri. Poeun currently has around three different boys visiting her in her love hut but has no specific boyfriend at present. Childhood sweethearts, Grola-Graw, 68 and Lam-Harleum, 79 spent more than thirty years married to other people until they were both widowed. They finally married seven years ago. A wedding party in Pak Nam Village, with bride and groom, both 18.They are members of the Kreung Tribe, a minority people, who live in the remote jungle province of Ratanakiri, in North East Cambodia. The meat in front of them is part of a pig that has been sacrificed to appease the spirits, this is part of their animist tradition. Galung, 45 and her husband, Puang, 56 have two daughters, Nang Chan, 17 and 14 year old Wan, and met in Galung’s love hut almost thirty years ago. They believe that the independence the love huts provide will ensure their daughters have strong marriages like theirs Kawan, 24, with her husband, Leum, 30, Kancherng, O’chum District. Leum says he, like many Kreung boys, was very shy to approach girls in their houses and he had been wooing Kawan for a year before he kissed her. Source Source -- source link
