Ethiopian Village Wife-- Sex on Demand?
Posted: April 4th, 2023, 2:40 pm
I was reading about Ethiopian Jews, and I thought the topic of marrying an Ethiopian village girl might be interesting for this forum. One poster mentioned the idea of marrying an Ethiopian a while back.
Ethiopians seem to be one of the best-looking people-groups on the continent of Africa. They also seem to have a tendency toward being thin, or at least thin of frame, if one likes that sort of thing.
Here is a quote from an article that discusses aspects of marriage culture in Ethiopia:
This is talking about Ethiopian migrants to Israel, and of course the article presents the Ethiopian male-dominant culture in a negative light, at least the wife-being part of it. There is an ancient Jewish community in Ethiopia. Even though they go by Beta Israel, the men don't sound very beta. A large percentage of the population are Muslims, a large percentage are Ethiopian Orthodox, and a large percentage are evangelicals.
If you married an Ethiopian village girl, you could tell her she doesn't need to kiss your knees, not unless no one is around, or tell her other places where you prefer kissing. I don't get the why the knee thing would be a preferred location. If you want to be really nice, and get sick of eating rice and cumin dishes, you could tell her she doesn't have to cook one night and take her out for something nice, like a hamburger.
But suppose you are a decent man who, of course, doesn't want to beat up his wife. You can find a village girl, negotiate a marriage with her family, tell her that you'll make a deal with her. She can be just as obedient or more so as an Ethiopian woman whose husband beats her... and provide sex on demand just as readily if she isn't menstruating... and you won't beat her.
But you might want to find one that hasn't undergone female genital mutilation. It's really bad in parts of Africa, not just a drop of blood from the hood, or even just taking that little bean, but cutting off the lips and leaving a little hold, and some men may need to tear them a bit to make them functional. Some of them experience pain, and their culture tells them to grin and bear it. That sounds horrific for her, but also pretty lousy for the man.
I was thinking of @Cornfed as a potential groom for one of these women. The downside is if he wants a woman who would let him beat her, he might just want to beat them up for being black and Jewish, since he doesn't seem to care much for blacks or Jews. Maybe other marriage-minded men who care more for African women could consider it.
Also, being from a rich country, you could pay an extra goat as part of the bride price for the young woman, so you can call her your four-goat wife, or whatever, to remind her how valuable she is to you. From what I read, in terms of cash, a bride price in Ethiopia can be just under $600.

From, <https://www.jpost.com/magazine/features ... pian-wives>Asked what sort of "infraction" might get a woman "educated" by her husband, Kacen replies: "She has to do everything he asks her to do, and she has to meet all the expectations of a wife. For instance, when the husband comes home from a day's work [usually farming], the wife has to come out of the house to meet him, kiss his knees and wash his feet. "His food has to be ready, the house has to be neat and tidy. If she doesn't do all these things, the husband 'educates' her. He can shout at her, he can hit her, he can use all sorts of violence." Kacen adds: "Whenever the husband wants sex, except when the wife is menstruating, she has to give it to him, whether she wants to or not." Wife-murder was rare in Ethiopia, but that's because the system of male domination and female subservience was so entrenched in the villages - less so in the cities - that it didn't take much "education" to get the wives to do their husband's bidding.
