Potency Testing

The Banyankole people, a minority tribe in Uganda, usually require the bridegroom to sleep with the bride’s aunt on the night before marriage. This is meant to test the groom’s potency. Sometimes the aunt will sit and watch or listen to the couple’s sexual intercourse to be certain that the bridegroom has the ability to satisfy his wife in bed.
