KOTEKA..
the koteka, horinm, penis gourd or penis sheath
is a phallocrypt or phallocarp traditionally worn by
native male inhabitants of some (mainly highland) ethnic groups in indonesia
and papua new guinea to cover their genitals. they
are normally made from a dried out gourd, lagenaria siceraria, although other
species, such as nepenthes mirabilis, are also used. they
are held in place by a small loop of fiber attached to the base of the koteka
and placed around the scrotum. there is a secondary loop placed around the
chest or abdomen and attached to the main body of the koteka. men choose
kotekas similar to ones worn by other men in their cultural group. for example,
yali
men favour a long, thin koteka, which helps hold up the multiple rattan hoops
worn around their waist. men from tiom wear a double gourd, held up with a
strip of cloth, and use the space between the two gourds for carrying small
items such as money and tobacco.
