{{Short description|Tribe and ethnic group of Papua New Guinea}}
{{ref improve|date=February 2013}}
The '''Etoro''', or '''Edolo''', are a tribe and ethnic group of [[Papua New Guinea]]. Their territory comprises the southern slopes of [[Mt. Sisa]], along the southern edge of the central mountain range of [[New Guinea]], near the [[Papuan Plateau]]. They are well known among [[anthropology|anthropologists]] because of ritual acts practiced between the young boys and men of the tribe. The Etoro believe that young males must [[semen ingestion|ingest the semen]] of their elders to achieve adult male status and to properly mature and grow strong.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Henrich |first1=Joseph |last2=Heine |first2=Steven |last3=Norenzayan |first3=Ara |title=The weirdest people in the world? |journal=Behavioral and Brain Sciences |date=2010 |volume=33 |issue=2–3 |pages=61–83; discussion 83–135 |doi=10.1017/S0140525X0999152X |pmid=20550733 |url=http://hci.ucsd.edu/102b/readings/WeirdestPeople.pdf}}</ref>

The Etoro believe that they each contain a certain amount of [[Energy (esotericism)|life force]], the highest concentrations of which are contained in semen. This life force passes to others through sexual relations. Women are seen to waste the life force if they do not get pregnant after sexual intercourse. As people get older, and their bodies weaken, this is attributed to a depletion of their life force.
 
In 2009, the [[National Geographic Society]] reported an estimate that there were fewer than 1668 speakers of the Etoro/[[Edolo language]].{{sfn|Harrison|2009}}

==Marriage==
O'Neil and Kottak agree that most men marry and have heterosexual relations with their wives. The fear that heterosexual sex causes them to die earlier and the belief that homosexual sex prolongs life means that heterosexual relations are focused towards reproduction.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://anthro.palomar.edu/marriage/marriage_6.htm|title=Sex and Marriage: Homosexualityharvnb|last=O'Neil|first=Dennis|website=Sex and Marriage: An Introduction to The Cultural Rules Regulating Sexual Access and2007}}; Marriage{{harvnb|access-date=2016-06-20Kottak|2012}}.</ref>
