    In which society do the men tie their penises into knots?

    Question #115610. Asked by star_gazer. (Jun 28 10 4:32 PM)

    You may be looking for this nonsense:

    The men of the Caramoja tribe of Northern Uganda tie a weight to the end of their penises to elongate them, which works so well that they must tie their members in knots to move around. (Caution: If you are not a member of the Caramoja tribe of Northern Uganda, please do not try this at home. These Caramoja folks are trained professionals and know what they are doing. Attempting to elongate yourself without supervision by Caramoja village elders is strongly discouraged.)

    Are we sure that this tribe even exists other than in internet mythology? Google 'Caramoja' and nothing come up except this 'fact' being repeated.

    Its true that the internet offers little more information on the Caramoja stretched and knotted penises.

    But, women in Southern African tribes do something similar.

    Elongated labia (also known as Sinus pudoris and albeit nonmedically, as khoikhoi apron or hottentot apron) is an apparently genetic feature of certain Khoisan groups, whose females develop relatively elongated labia minora, hanging up to four inches outside their vulva when they are in an upright position. The "apron" moniker was apparently gained from the tendency of early European descriptions to misidentify the pair of labia as a single, wide organ, which they called, in French, a tablier, or "apron". "Hottentot" is an acquired name for the Khoisan peoples, now considered derogatory by some.

    This trait was first noted as far back as the 17th century, but became extensively documented in the last part of the 18th and the 19th century.

    Labia may also be shaped by intentional labia stretching, usually done by an aunt on girls beginning at the age of four or five, a practice falling into the category of female genital mutilation. Alternatively, labiaplasty may be used to reduce the appearance of elongated labia.
