This entire article appears to have been taken from the first season of the series titled as "Mark and Olly: Living with the Tribes" in another Wikipedia article. The television show is almost completely staged and spread a great amount of misinformation. This article should come with a warning. Please see http://ethnoground.blogspot.com/2011/05/mark-and-olly-follies.html (which has been published in a peer-reviewed journal) for examples of why this show cannot be relied on as a source of cultural information.

I just watched a special on the Kombai peple on the Discovery Times channel. The program is called Going Tribal. Anyway the show talks about the Kombai men having an "inverted penis" where they wear a leaf over their penis and invert it some how. Out of curiosity, what are they talking about?

- - They push the penis back into the scrotum and then tie off the foreskin to keep the penis in there ... until needed.

I saw it too and I wonder how comes there are people still living in the stone age. They stay nude, depends on wild friuts and animal as food. I wonder what is the government doing about these people? (Godwin Itambo Jan 2007)

I wonder what is the government doing about all those people wearing tshirts and jeans and depending on mcdonalds as food? --Krsont 17:16, 12 August 2007

A map showing where the Kombai area is, in irian Jaya, would be useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.64.142.162 (talk) 03:51, 25 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
