Superstitions: Most prevalent among Trobrianders The work of Malinowski immortalised the Trobrianders. One view was that the male and female discharges (vaginal fluid) are linked to an action of the bowels. There was total ignorance of the physiological function of the testes. Women were seen to have no testes, yet they produced momona, the sexual secretion. The only function of the testes was to make the penis look proper. In the most important Trobriander myth a woman, called Mitigis or Bolutukwa, mother of the legendary hero Tudava, lives alone in a grotto on the seashore. One day she is asleep under a dripping stalactyte. The drops of water pierce her vagina and deprive her of her virginity. In other such myths the means of piercing the hymen are not mentioned, but it is often stated that the ancestress had no male consort and so could not have had sexual intercourse (Malinowski, "The Sexual Life of Savages" pp. 156-6).
