weight issues

I was at my parents house the other day and we began talking about weight. My dad was upset that my older sister has put on a lot of weight after the baby, and he felt that she should lose it and be more like a woman. This alone made me giggle in my own mind. Only because well if my sister is happy what's it to us. Its not like she is obese. But it made me think, of what at least my parents thought was beautiful in a woman. Both of them believed that young girls should look "appropriate" and healthy, their version of course. But when it came to guys they didn't really have a say, though my mom makes it know that I have gained some pounds over the years. She always tells me I need to watch out because it isnt good for me. True it isn't good for me, but I think I am fine for my height. I am only 5'6", and weith 140 lbs. Compared to what I weighed out of high school up until 22, which was 115.

It was just interesting to hear what my parents had to say about what makes a girl beautiful.

hispanic sex opposed to...what?

Yeah I came upon this one day when I was looking at some sites. The quotes to this site were about "hispanic sex" and how it is different from other sex. It just made me think about how people view sex and attribute ethnicity to it...is it simply using the stereotype people assume of Latinos/as? Or is this some factuality to this claim?


Engaging in Hispanic sex? How is this different from other sex? Or is this just an eroticization of a certain ethnicity?

Do "hispanics," Latinos, or anyone really have sex differently then other men?
