In my opinion, the Narcirema culture is extremely different from any culture I have ever studied. To me it almost seemed like they have all these charms, and magical potions to keep them well. They go to such great lengths to take care of their bodies by doing these rituals. Yet, they try to avoid pregnancy at all cost by limiting sex around the phases of the moon. If a pregnancy happens to occur the women have to cover up, and hide their body so other people don’t take notice. It's almost as if they want to stop procreating because of the hatred they have for the human body and how weak it is.
The human body is ugly to them, and so they degrade their bodies by doing things in public that they normally would do in private. They use torture
