You may have seen pictures of indigenous tribesmen wearing an article of "clothing" made from gourds that they wear covering their penises in such a way that you may have mistaken it for an erection. A tribe with permanent erections does not exist.

Medically speaking, a permanent or persistent erection is a serious health problem called "priapism". It is often very painful and needs urgent medical attention. It is

caused by some diseases, an injury, or sometimes by drugs or medications. Without treatment, it can cause permanent damage and result in a problem achieving erection in the future.

Additional note: There are different tribes in different locations who wear the penis gourds. The Dani tribesmen in New Guinea wear them. In Papua New Guinea the gourds are called Koteka.

The leadership structure of pygmy tribes varies by community, but they often have a chief or elder who is respected and recognized for their wisdom and experience. Decisions may also be made collectively through consensus among the tribe members. In many cases, leadership roles can be influenced by factors such as age, gender, and social status within the community. Each pygmy group may have its own unique customs and governance practices.

The Pygmy people are primarily indigenous to central Africa, particularly in countries like the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Cameroon, and Gabon. There are no distinct tribes of Pygmies in India, as the ethnic and cultural context differs significantly. Therefore, there are no Indians in the Pygmy tribe, as they are not part of Indian demographics.
