10 Bizarre Sexual Traditions From Around The World

From recreation to reproduction and beyond, sex has a place in every culture throughout the world. Without sex, there will be no cultures whatsoever. However, the way individuals view it differs greatly from culture to culture, as do sexual norms and morality. In some cultures, it is okay to have sexual intercourse with your wife’s sister if your spouse is pregnant; however, in others, not so much.
