	PRD - Sex Life of Children in the Trobriand Islands
		The Trobrianders are very free and easy in their sexual relations.
		Remembering, however, the Trobriander's very strong tendency to exaggerate in the direction of the grotesque, a tendency not altogether devoid of a certain malicious Rabelaisian humour, I am inclined to discount those statements of my authorities.
		If we place the beginning of real sexual life at the age of six to eight in the case of girls, and ten to twelve in the case of boys, we shall probably not be erring very greatly in either direction.

		SETTING THE SCENE : For nearly a century, the Trobriand Islands have been studied by anthropologists, the most famous being Bronislaw Malinowski who dubbed the Trobriands "the islands of love".
		The Island is immediately adjacent to the largest of the Trobriand Islands, Kiriwina Island but it is a two hour dinghy ride from Losuia, the main town on Kiriwina.
		You should also be aware that while romantic freedom is a hallmark of Trobriands culture, liaisons between Islanders and visitors are not appropriate.

		Malinowski gained renown through his studies of the indigenous peoples of the Trobriand Islands, Papua New Guinea 1914-1918.
		His fieldwork techniques and system of 'participant observation' were revolutionary, and caused him to be regarded as one of the principal founders of 'functionalism' in the social sciences.
		The papers therefore provide a valuable insight into the life and work of the pioneering Polish-born social anthropologist and would be of great interest to those studying anthropology.

		The Trobriand Islanders of the Melanesian region, as well as many other cultures in the Australian and New Guinea regions, had a belief that there was no cause and effect relationship between sexual intercourse and pregnancy.
		As detailed in this monograph, the Trobrianders belived that the Baloma, the spirits of the dead, would return from the afterlife and impregnate women when they bathed in the lagoon, thus reincarnating the dead ancestor.
