A designated crew member boils them in hot water to sterilize them, and then performs the procedure. "This 'secret weapon of the Filipinos,' as a second mate phrased it, has therefore obviously something to do," Lamvik wrote in his thesis, "'with the fact that 'the Filipinos are so small, and the Brazilian women are so big' as another second mate put it."Īccording to University of California, Santa Cruz labor sociologist Steve McKay, who traveled extensively on container ships with Filipino crews in 2005 for his research on the masculine identity in the shipping market, raw materials for the bolitas can range from tiles to plastic chopsticks or toothbrushes.

Many Filipino sailors make small incisions in their penises and slide tiny plastic or stone balls - the size of M&M's - underneath the skin in order to enhance sexual pleasure for prostitutes and other women they encounter in port cities, especially in Rio de Janeiro. And soon, conversations turned to perhaps the most fascinating part of the Filipino seafaring identity, the little-known and barely studied sexual practice of "bolitas," or little balls. It was in this type of loose, booze-flowing setting that he learned the most about the lives of his shipmates. He belted out the lyrics to "House of the Rising Sun." Then, he insisted on singing it again. At a raucous karaoke crew member party somewhere in the middle of the Indian Ocean, it began to happen. That's the crucial thing to do."

To crack the cultural mystery of any total institution, you have to go inside, he reasoned. When Norwegian anthropologist Gunnar Lamvik first began living in Iloilo city, a seafaring haven in the southern Philippines, he sensed he wasn't getting the richest and most detailed information about the shipping experience from interviews with his neighbors, who were home on two-month vacations from 10 months at sea. The agribusiness was thriving in that part of the state, and ever since the Copa de Oro Dam had been constructed in the late Sixties, the recreation dollars had been piling up, too.Įra un elemento del padre: la prueba es que no trató de cobrar los cinco mil de oro que le prestó.The Philippines is a top supplier of seafarers (Wikimedia Commons) I, Cuchillo Oro, war chief of the Mescalero Apache people, will be there with only one companion.
