What is familismo, and what is its relationship to sexual practices?

What will be an ideal response?


Familismo is the trait of Latino life that describes the commitment to family and family members. Familismo can be a strong factor in reducing unsafe sexual practices with partners outside of primary relationships. For many Latino men who have sex with men, familismo and homophobia can create conflict because of families' negative feelings about homosexuality and their emphasis on the traditional heterosexual family.
