Cicatrisation and Scarification

Cicatrisation or Scarification has been practiced much more than was documented. First evidence was found in a 4,200 year old Egyptian mummy. Women in certain African tribes used scars to increase their fertility until the early 20^th century. The scars cause a mild level of pain for about three or four years. When the sensitive area is touched, by her husband, and the brain releases neurotransmitters, in response to the pain, the woman becomes aroused by the stimulus and has sex with her husband. The more sexually active the woman is, the more likely she is to conceive validating the ancient claim that scars can increase infertility.
