The Shori ritual is for men because only they have need of it. On the other hand, the men have to go forth frequently into the uncertain jungle and brave it's tangles on the hunt. They do not live in the homes of their birth but go to live with their wives.
The Shori ritual functions to promote a feeling of fellowship among the unrelated men of the village, who were strangers to each other.
Originally, they found their women living like snake woman, in a spot in the jungle guarded by their fathers. The Shori ritual is the only way for sharanahua men to experience fellowship of any sort with the other men.
