 The
Masai are more commonly associated with Kenya, but they've been a
presence around the Ngorongo Crater of Tanzania for over a 150 years
and are area's main residents. Traditionaly nomadic cattlemen, in
recent years they have been encouraged to make settlements.
The lives of the Masai centres around
cattle herding. They believe God entrusted the cattle to the Masai
people, and wealth is measured in number of cattle.
The sexual laws of the
Masai are complex but obey a strict morality; the warrior will take
a "dito" lover who is a prepubescent girl but cannot marry until he
has complete his service to the tribe, at which time he will often
be in his 30's.
When the ditos starts
puberty she is returned to her mother until she is able to marry.
Before her marriage she will be circumcised. Whatever her age, she
is then consodered in the eyes of the tribe. This barbaric practice
of female circumcision, known in the West as female genital
mutilation is now outlawed in Africa, although over half of the
masai still practice it in secret.
She will then wear the
traditional ear rings and iron necklace to signify her rank.
However, if an older man takes a child lover this is a serious crime
punished with beating and slaughter of his cattle.
If a woman has no sons in her marriage
she will be scorned and forced to beg in her old age as she will
have no possessions or money and no one to care for her.

Ilomi lay me
down on the floor, on top of her zebra-fur, and undid my
jacket. She grabbed a dagger from under a cushion and drew an
invisible sign on my chest. Suddenly tears came into her
brown eyes and told me something softly that I couldn’t
understand. While she was whispering I could see her little
breasts and nipples with tattooed birds around them. My hand
slipped under her jewel and I touched these little birds. Her
nipples already protrudes, like my penis. Among the lion skins
Ilomi reminds a startled and trembling prey. I ran my hands up
and down over her back, massaging her. A few minutes later we
heard a terrible roaring outside. Ilomi’s body quivered with
fear and snuggled more into my arms. I got also frightned of
it, but right after it I heard a laughter too.
I suddenly
realised that Ilomi was still a virgin who wanted the very
first time with me. It was a difficult situation, because next
month will be her marriage. Her marriage that will never be
happy. Before her marriage she will be circumcised.
I knew it was
dangerous, but I wanted her love. Far from Milan I was so
lonely and this girl was the only I felt good with.
I moved my
finger and thumb, then, in small circles I went down to her
ankle. I continued with both hands so gentle.
Her eyes
were closed and she had a small smile on her face. Then I
moved my hands around to her front and pulled her body close
to me, I felt my penis against her, erect and hard. My mouth
did not leave her breast, while my hands continued down her
belly, and reached, finally, between her legs, feeling the
still damp pubic hair, the warmth and swelling of her labia,
the moisture of her arousal. My lips found the hood of her
clitoris and my tongue flashed in excitement. I entered her,
then, my cock driving hard against the magic of those inner
spaces, feeling her hymen tight around me. She cried. I think
she was crying for joy that she deserved.
Two days later I must have
escaped from the Ngorongoro Crater and
I’m afraid I’ll never see Ilomi any more.
