Plagerism aside, Alex Haley did bring to light that there was a time in Africa where when a young male in his teens is learning to be a man, there is a point where the male teen was allowed to learn how to have sex with an appointed widow from the tribe for the sake of being prepared for his future wife. The teen was allowed to do any and everything his pre Xvideos/pre Pornhub mind could imagine to that widow. These teachers represent a lost African tradition.
