In a few African and Asian cultures neck rings are worn usually to create the appearance that the neck has been stretched. Small girls may wear brass collars from the age of two to five years old, as it is more comfortable to lengthen the neck slowly. The alternative is rapidly, and painfully lengthening the neck around the age of twelve, when girls first compete for the attention of boys. Tourism is often blamed for encouraging the use of neck rings, as they are a popular attraction for tourists.
