In the remote villages of China, families often lived close to each other so that they could help one another if needed. However, the Bedouin houses were scattered out far and wide. Yet this was understandable. Chinese village houses, even the poorest, were at least made of mud. The houses here were made of open air thatch material. Get too close and one could smell someone else's fart, not to mention that if one needed to have privacy and do funny business…
Here, there was no electricity, no power generators, no Wi-Fi, no running water, no books, and no newspapers. Even if there had been, few people were literate. There were also no conveniences of modern society. What could one do after the sun sets? Of course, s*x.
The consequence of not having protection readily available? Many children. From the very young to somewhat bigger, they ran freely around, looking a tad dirty but innocent.
