ok that makes sense with things I've read that say kids are less likely to engage in play adults consider unacceptable if they have less curiosity because things aren't hidden from them.
If they have dolls like that or communal bathing there's a lot less need to play "Dr" to satisfy curiosity about physical differences for instance.
It would be interesting to see a side study if consensual BDSM is present at the same levels in the various cultural groups studied, since some people (especially in the more repressive cultures) tend to lump it in with violence.
