Quotes by Amerigo Vespucci  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“All of both (Native American) sexes go about naked…They (women) have another custom, very shameful
and beyond all human belief. For their women, being very lustful, cause the private parts
of their husbands to swell up to such a huge size that they appear deformed…They (men)
marry as many wives as they please; and son cohabits with mother, male cousin with
female, and any man with the first woman he meets. They dissolve their marriages as
often as they please…The women as I have said go about naked and are very libidinous,
yet they have tolerably beautiful bodies and cleanly…When they had the opportunity of
copulating with Christians, urged by excessive lust, they defiled and prostituted
themselves.”
