- promiscuity -
Am reading this book called 'Leaving Mother Lake'. Told by Namu, she gives a narrative account about her life when she left her small village for the big city. It's about one of the minority groups in CHina. A group called the Moso and their awesome lifestyle.
Firstly, it's a matriarchal society. But that's not as good as it gets. Their most interesting characteristic is that it's ok to have more than one lover. That's right. You heard me. Lover. Not husband. But lover. He comes to you room. You do your 'thing'. He leaves. And that's the end of that chapter.
And this goes on until nobody becomes attracted to you. And the pregnancies are bonuses. The bigger your family is, the better. And no one is to speak ill of who comes and goes in your room. Everyone respects the private matters that lay within the woman's room.
Like I said. AWESOME.
