August 7, 2014 3. Harbor In a paper entitled “The Filipino Seafarer: A Life between Sacrifice and Shopping,” the Norwegian academic Gunnar Lamvik revealed the alarming practice among Filipino seafarers of slicing open their penis with a razor and implanting ball bearings or coffee beans. The implants are called bolitas, and the logic behind them is flexible. They keep wives from straying by enhancing their sexual pleasure, and they are useful to attract Brazilian prostitutes. This “secret weapon of the Filipinos,” wrote Lamvik, has something to do with the fact that “the Filipinos are so small, and the Brazilian women are so big.” Lamvik is told that nearly every Filipino seaman is equipped with bolitas.
