| 33. Read this before you jump to conclusions about "incest" |
 |
ABSTRACT: Child rearing practices in the the Telugu-speaking people of India include behaviors of touching and kissing the penis. The meaning of these customs is not erotic or sexual, but if engaged in in America would most likely be misconstrued and the parents suspected of child sexual abuse. This example illustrates the importance of transcultural issues in assessing the meaning of genital gestures and practices. http://www.ipt-forensics.com/journal/volume3/j3_4_4.htm I am not saying Webb had this in mind, but there may be something else going on here than appears at first glance.
