The sexuality of children is taken for granted by the Gypsies, and between birth and the age of eight it is even encouraged. A squalling baby girl is asked with mock concern if she wishes a husband, and a baby boy may be offered a wife. In some groups, the penis of a little boy is pulled gently during play with the women; little girls are flirted with by the grown men and encouraged to walk provocatively.
