Chapter 6
Summary:
This chapter explains the sexual experiences had by Samoans. A Samoan's first sexual experience is typically with someone older than them of the opposite sex. This is because of the taboo of men and women interacting with each other. Through continuous encounters, a marriage may arise from it. Adultery is frowned upon in the Samoan culture.
Discussion:
It is interesting to see that Samoans do not put as much emphasis on marriage and the love behind it. In this culture, marriage seems to arise from sexual encounters and not necessarily love. I don't know if In agree with that, even though it would make things a lot easier.
