Life as a Gringo

Breaking the Silence: Sex, Culture, and the Latino Household


Listen Later

Cultural taboos around sex and sexuality run deep in many Latino households, often shutting down important conversations before they even start. In this special episode, Dramos opens up about how religion, gender roles, and family expectations shaped his own understanding of sexual health—or lack of it. He explores how these cultural norms can leave young people unprepared, misinformed, and anxious about their own well-being. Plus, Dramos shares what he wishes he'd learned growing up, why sexual health is about so much more than just sex, and how we can start having the hard conversations to better support the next generation.
