Mabouya meaning

Mabouya refers to an evil spirit in Caribbean folklore. The word also names various skinks of the genus Eutropis and an island of Grenada, but those meanings are unrelated to sexuality.

A historical-art description presents a mabouya with bent arms and legs and an erect penis. This depiction supplies the term’s sexual context without making mabouya a general word for a sexual act or identity.
