As the island's culture was more and more influenced by the rest of the world's views on prostitution, this practice ended. Here's a view of a modern men's house...

Behind the Lens: Ceremonial Dancing on Yap Island, Micronesia
Expedition Filmmaker Denis Elterman witnessed a unique ceremonial display of dancing on Yap Island in Micronesia. A remote speck of land in the Federated States of Micronesia, Yap Island is set approximately 500 miles southwest of Guam and 300 miles northeast of Palau in the Pacific Ocean.
Home to the Yapese people—a Micronesian ethnic group that has been influenced over centuries by the Spanish, Japanese, Germans and Americans—Yap’s position is so remote that only 4,000 visitors reach the island’s shores each year. The destination exudes character, with a rich culture that is showcased with pride at communal gatherings.
