Cuban Youth

In Cuba, young people face the intricate challenge of early sexualization and the dominant influence of macho culture, both molding their perceptions of love, relationships, and self-identity. Machismo norms, which emphasize dominance and conquest, exert pressure on youth to adhere to traditional gender roles. Consequently, the quest for genuine romantic connections becomes a complex journey as Cuban youth endeavor to redefine love and intimacy within the confines of a machismo-driven society.
