Inside the world's original free love community: Islanders change spouses whenever they want, have dedicated 'love huts' and settle their differences over a game of crickethttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2627148/Inside-worlds-original-free-love-community-Trobriand-Islanders-change-spouses-want-dedicated-love-huts-settle-differences-game-cricket.html
The Trobriand Islands are in the Solomon Sea and are officially a part of Papua New Guinea
Islanders have an easygoing attitude to sex and encourage both men and women to take lovers
Most villages have a special hut called a bukumatula which is used for extramarital encounters
Babies are thought to be the result of magic with no link between sex and pregnancy
Their romantic customs don't extend to outsiders: They consider white skin and hair ugly
Other customs include using yams and banana leaves as currency - £1 is equivalent to 50 leaves
Trobriand Islanders were forbidden from fighting by colonial authorities so 'war' is now cricket
It's the original free love community where women rule the roost: Welcome to the gorgeous Trobriand Islands in the South Pacific where the ladies can have as many lovers as they please and marriages are sealed with a gift of yams and polished stone.
