15 Most Sexually Repressed Cultures in The World

8. Semang People

Cultural Sex Restrictions – One of the sex taboos in the world is the belief of the Semang people. The Semang claim that daylight dalliance causes wicked thunderstorms that will drown innocent people, and the offending couple—so much for an afternoon delight. Semang people forbid having sex within their own villages, lest they make the spirits angry.

7.  Ganda People

Cultural Sex Restrictions – The Ganda people of Uganda restrict sexual activity both before and during the processing of the trees used to make boats, making that village’s only source of wood.

6. Aka

Cultural Sex Restrictions – Sexual intercourse is viewed by both men and women as a form of “night work” with the objective of creating children, an important topic in an area with a high newborn death rate. Sperm is necessary not just for conception but also for embryonic development. A pregnant woman will see intercourse as helpful to the health of her fetus.

The Hewletts state that homosexuality and masturbation are uncommon or nonexistent not because they are despised upon or punished but rather because they are not part of the ethnic group’s cultural concepts of sexuality.

Women may hunt, even by themselves, and frequently control resource distribution among the forager Aka, whose gender equality is described by the Hewletts as “about as pronounced as human societies get.”

5. Ngandu

Cultural Sex Restrictions – The Ngadu share the same sex and sexuality beliefs with the Aka, but the Ngandu are fixed-site, slash-and-burn farmers who exhibit significant gender inequality, with men frequently controlling women.
