Sperm Hunters Attack in Zimbabwe




(Harare, Zimbabwe) Male hitchhikers in Zimbabwe, don't travel alone. Beware of attacks by female sperm harvesters.

Local authorities in Zimbabwe are investigating the spate of sexual assaults on men which the attackers believe will bring good luck.

According to the report, naïve travelers are picked up by "gangs of beautiful women" and are drugged and forced to have sex and later dumped on the freeways. Some of the attackers are armed, using guns, knives and, in one instance, a live snake was used to overpower victims, before collecting their semen in condoms.

The news service added that such incidents have been on the rise since 2009, but so far only three women were arrested after police found a stash of knotted condoms in October 2011.[…]

Many suspect that the exact purpose of forcibly collecting semen is meant for business purposes or even "Juju," a form of African witchcraft.

According to the report, attackers refrain from collecting semen from loved ones as the rituals bring bad luck and, in some cases, even death to the victims.

Reportedly, the current market price for a sperm-filled condom is $400.
