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|hdl=11858/00-001M-0000-0013-26A1-6 |hdl-access=free }}</ref>
