    The Etoro people believe that for boys to become men, they must ingest the semen of elder men for several years, as the tribe believes a man's vital life force is contained in his semen. This forms a homosexual relationship between the boy and elder, until the boy becomes a man himself and mentors another younger boy, continuing the cycle of passing on this life force from one generation to the next.
