ResumoThe discovery of love by Hidi Shinu : a cashinahua tale Although the literature of the Cashinahua mythology is quite well known we offer here an amusing tale about the discovery of love by the character Hidi Xinu. This tale reminds us of the despair of the Cashinahua who thought the vagina to be a very severe flesh wound. Regardless of their knowledge of pharmacopoeia, they could not heal her. However, one day, Hidi Xinu saw a couple of monkeys copulate and only then did he understand the function of the vagina : the chamber of love, chutati.
