How do the concepts of machismo and marianismo affect the sexual expression of Latinos/Latinas?
What will be an ideal response?
In traditional Latino culture, gender roles are epitomized in the concepts of machismo and marianismo. Literally, machismo
means "maleness" or "virility" and mandates that the man must be responsible for the well-being and honor of his family. However, in its extreme
form, it also means tolerating a man's sexual infidelities. Marianismo is the female counterpart of machismo and is derived from Roman Catholic
worship of Mary, the virgin mother of Jesus. Thus, motherhood is highly valued and virginity until marriage is closely guarded. These gender roles
have resulted in boys having more freedom and being encouraged in sexual exploits and girls having to be weak, passive, and obedient.
