You took the words right out of my mouth right there.

Anyway,

I can sense the OP is frustrated by many of the answers. His question is legit and to be asked of those that are willing to go deep and not just spit out 1 word answers with no prior thought.

Living in 3 parts of Asia for 3 years, most of the Asians I have encountered are rather reserved and conservative- why, I don't know but its a general sense. Now is every last one of them like that? No. Why are Brazilians and Dominicans large at the hips? Can it be the cross of African descendants? Is it stereo-type? Is it in the genes and is it regional? Why eastern Europeans are big boned and are strong? Please don't jump to "its a stereo-type"- think deeper than that.

Problem is people sit behind desks and make assumptions and don't think deep. Ever consider the landscape and climatic conditions of Eastern Europe and how eastern Europeans have dominated the strong world competitions? Ever look at the jaw lines of Baltic people? Ever look at the women's legs? I spent time in Russia and whenever I see a tough jaw line with a square shaped head, I can tell they are from that part of the area.

I can pin point all 5 NY borough accents from queens, long island, brookly, staten island, and a puerto rican from the bronx. Not everyone is in tuned or pays attention to that stuff. We have body language and hand-writting experts. If didn't look to go beyond the norm, then we would not have evolved as we have.

Why are Central Americans short? Is that a stereo-type?

To get to the point of the OP, there are several theories out there. But without going down the scientific road, let’s look at the region, influences, races, etc.

Why are Latin folks passionate and loud? Does that transfer over to their sexuality? Not every Latin is wild and loud but ever visit Hialeah Miami?

It can also be food and how it affects their senses. Coffee has a way of exciting the nervous system and also triggers certain sexual senses. Many Cuban men that drink strong coladas become sexually stimulated by the caffeine. But if it doesn’t happen to you, you will sit there and call it all a myth and nonsense…..

People from various cultures tend to develop differently: In Latin America, people tend to be more religious and tend to converse in different ways. Also, because the mean temperatures are much higher and the weather much more humid, dress is adopted differently.

This is to be expected.
Now that is a thought. The temperature, less clothing, men observing this, women taking advantage, and history goes on... It can go anywhere....

I'm no stranger to Latin women or latin culture. I onced asked a lady from Brazil I dated a few years ago, why do latin women express themselves so much. She said it's because when you are living in Latin America, death can come to you at any time, and to not give your all and express your love presents a missed opportunity. It makes sense.

I also believe latin culture is actually pretty sexually conservative. However their idea of flirting is a bit more loose than the American version.

I think there may be more linguistical roots as well. Their intonations and phonetics are more pronounced. The Brazilian lady said "romance languages are spoken with more passion". I can believe this. Slavic and gemanic languages sound harsher and flatter, where romance languages are softer.

Not everyone in Latin America has spanish blood. And the culture in spain is way different than Latin American's culture. There are SOME things adopted. But they have as much in common with SPain as the USA has with UK. There are some similarities, but there are many many many differences.

I've heard a lot of different things about Latinas (from guys). That the Catholic upbringing means they're inhibited. In Latin America I've heard that North American and European women are a lot more fun in bed. But a lot depends on the women. There are more traditional women, and more cosmopolitan women. Latina women aren't all cut from the same mold. Surprise, surprise.

I agree with others, this is a broad generalization. However I'll take a stab at it; some Latinas I suppose grew up unable to set healthy boundaries with other people as women are raised to live for others, please others, go along with what others want, especially men, etc. Because of this some Latinas may have gotten early introductions to sex and may think its normal to be sexual even if they really don't like it. Also, if they were from strictly religious families they may have grown up not to talk about sex so they had to learn everything they could on their own about it and if they were being abused to keep their mouths shut about it. Latinas are also an open loving group of women, maybe they see no reason to hold that part of themselves back.

After dating quite a few latinas, they are actually pretty socially conservative. And they are NOT sexually promiscious. Being sexual with one person isn't being "loose sexually". I've dated latin women from the following countries...


Mexico
Guatemala
Columbia
Brazil (3 Brazilians at that)
El Salvador
Puerto Rico


They do have "tempermant" but Italian women are WAY worse. And those women are Europe. But I guess Italian technically is Latin, but it's a different culture.

Thank you for such long answer, when people say that people are this same they will be, but if u start to looking for differences you will find them to, so everything depend on point of view and i am glad to speak with people which have second point of view ; )

In almost every country the culture is a thing which is natural, because people fit to that and they feel good. It is not something that somebody invent and everybody agree for that ( ok, in usa it is) In Latin A. there is patriarchy and they i think enjoy of that, but why? In Europe there was patriarchy too, but it was long time ago and like in every evolution they went further but in Latin its stay this same. So what, it looks like this is the ideal style for them and they will not go further ?

women expressing their love, one thing - women dont have such feeling like love, they want to be loved.

so its looks like they are present people and very hedonistic but if they are so much, so next question is why? because they are smart and they know the sens of life that here i now is the most important? or maybe they are not able to think about past and future like in western countries. Going further with this thought maybe women in this area are so hedonistic so they prefer to be loved all the time, live in present and be more sexual and this is why they are very religious, because they want better life after dead and be hedonistic here, but it have no sens. A consequences of that is they are poorer and males have less money, because woman prefer present and being loved, so they cant plan own future so in consequences there is a lot desperate criminals. So it looks like the cult of macho in Latin America is a illusion, because patriarchy is desirable by women. So Latin America is ruled by Women. But they question is why? males are to stupid? ok, sex is sex, but there are other higher values in life than love and sex like freedom and expressing yourself and still this is now a answer why they are so horny : )

Most of the women I've known in Latin America are far from hedonistic. (One was, but there were severe abuse issues in her childhood.) They avoid the parts of town where the foreigners (Europeans & N. Americans) live, because they consider them to be wild. And patriarchy is not "the ideal style for them". Good grief. But again, there are all kinds of women. There are class and ethnic issues, too.

Oh well.
