“My first step was to contact⟳ a colleague from Hong Kong, the sexologist Li Kai-Sing, whose work⟳ in Tibet before the Communist takeover had earned him an international reputation as an authority on polyandry. He promptly contacted a Ngari herdsman name⟳ Lo Wu, who had worked with him in the past and who was a member of a love⟳ commune which numbered eighteen wives and forty-three husbands. Lo Wu agreed to introduce⟳ me to all the members of his commune, and to assist me in every way possible as I attempted to gather the data I sought. My next step was to learn⟳ everything I could about the Ngari herdsmen's culture and social mores, so that when I finally did arrive⟳ in Tibet I'd be able to meet⟳ my subjects on what was more or less their own⟳ level. Unfortunately, the literature on Ngari culture and social mores was scant, because very few investigators other than Li Kai-Sing had set⟳ foot in that godforsaken corner of the world.”
