This cultural and psychological study of gender identity and sexual development in a New Guinea Highlands society includes initiation rites and socialisation studies, and contrasts the Sambia with other societies, including our own. Sambia boys experience ritualised homosexuality before puberty and do not leave it until marriage, after which homosexual activity is prohibited. The implications are developed cross-culturally and contextualised in gender literature.
