Kia ora bloggers, Today in health we read about Maori sexual history, after reading the text I got the impression that women were highly valued in Maori culture and were not judged based on how many partners they had. This text made me think about how unique Maori History was.
I found the fact that no matter how many partners they had it had no detriment to their character until they got married after which they couldn’t have any other partner, which is quite similar to modern culture. Reading this was quite intriguing considering that this may be where the idea stemmed from to europe.
After I read the text I realised that Maori were not that much different in the way they viewed sexuality and sex in general. The arrival of Europeans and Christianity would have changed the way they viewed having pre-marital sex or even having multiple partners.
