Women Lead the "Sexual Revolution" in Argentina, Men Have a Hard Time Dealing

Posted by Emily Farris

Women are leading the sexual revolution, and just about everything else, in Argentina:

"Twenty years ago sex was sort of silenced. We were coming out of a dictatorship that would censor radio or TV programs that had to do with sex," says Alcira Camilucci, a psychologist and sexologist.

"In the early 2000s, we started noticing a turning point," she said. "Today women are reaching out to find out more about sex and pleasure and they are owning their sexuality."


But are the men having a hard time handling it?

"Women are much more active than 30 years ago. That new social dynamic also applies to sex," said Sapetti, a psychiatrist. "I see it every day in my practice. I have more and more male patients. They come to see me because they are struggling with this new woman."


Wah. Well, hey, at least they're talking it out.

I spent some time in Argentina and had a very hard time with the whole sexual gender roles there, which still seemed to be pretty rigid. And then there were conversations like this:

"I'm not going to have sex with you."

"But you're American!"

Lovely.
