Meet Namibia Himba tribe whose women offer free sex to visitors
Traditional practices and beliefs enshrine Himba tribeswomen offering what most people call free ‘Sex’ to their visitors or guests and cousins.
“The Himba tribe are among the peoples of Namibia,” I mentioned in an earlier entry on this page. They are an indigenous people with a population of 20,000 to 50,000 individuals.” They are livestock producers who live in a tough environment.
This particular group of people has garnered news in recent years as a result of their ‘strange’ cultural traditions. Are you curious about their cultural practices?
Giving free sex, especially to tourists and guests, is a ‘wild’ habit that I will be shedding more light on soon.
According to one assessment published on the official publication site of Research Gate, the reason why the Himba tribeswomen perform such acts is fairly simple; hospitality and lineage.

However, for ordinary visitors or tourist, they get a night of company from a tribeswoman and I believe it is for this reason many are saying the women offer their body for free.
On the side of the Cousin
As stated earlier, these people are livestock farmers and the healthiness of a family is dependent on the number of cattle they own.
Also, if the father (head of the family) is passed out, his eldest cousin is made the rightful heir, hence performing the responsibilities of the uncle.
For a cousin to inherit property, he must become acquainted with the family, which involves sleeping with the wife; thus, the practice was not intended to provide free sex but rather a cultural mechanism of rehabilitation, hospitality, social welfare services, and knowledge sharing.
