WEIRD TRADITIONS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

The Mardudjara: Intimate cutting rituals to achieve manhood - Australia

This one must go on record as one of the most senseless traditions of all times. The first portion of this Mardudjara Aboriginal rite involves a barbaric circumcision followed by the circumcised male ingesting his own foreskin....yuck!  After he heals up, the penis is then cut lengthwise on the underside, sometimes all the way to the scrotum.

Blood is then dripped over a fire in order to purify it. From then on, the male will urinate from the underside of his penis instead of the urethra. The real question, however, is how does destroying a boy's 'manhood' bring him into manhood?
