This is a dance by the Maasai of Kenya to celebrate the circumcision of a girl (12 yrs old.) Circumcision is considered a coming-of-age where the entito (girl) becomes a woman.

  • Traditions aren't always good. It used to be tradition to leave children with mental disorders out in the woods, too. Female circumcision is torture, no matter what excuse one can come up with.

  • Nothing to celebrate here.

  • So sex without orgasm is bad?! I'm happy with less pleasurable sex. Better than too much pleasurable reproduction. I think it will give you a headache after f**king.

    The dance is attractive, but it's main idea is abuse. :(

  • @GVBiggs524 im sorry but your brainwashed to believe that culture and tradition can justify anything! FUCK THERE CULTURE AND ANY OTHER CULTURE THAT SUPPORTS COMPLETELY POINTLESS DESTRUCTIVE PRACTICES

  • @EscargoTouChaud Oh! Then now everything is clear to me. I didn't know that was the point of female circ. but, you know, they might give you a religious justification, so might jewish do for male circumsition and sadly those are virtually unobjectable.

  • @GVBiggs524 this cultural element was definitely not invented by a woman or a man who thought very highly of women.

  • @y318 I don't support that either, but I would say it's a bit different for 2 reasons: 1) when done in a hospital, it doesn't hurt as badly. Some say it's for hygienic reasons, which has proved false, but for those who do it for that --> 2) the intention behind is not to take someone's sexual pleasure away, which is the reason given for female circ.

  • @EscargoTouChaud And Male circumsicion is not?

  • So., It's THEIR culture,. who are you to judge??

  • leave em to it ,an jheeze its not your tradition

  • This tradition is awful! I mean life without an orgasim! How awful :(
