As in other regions, sexual temperament is shaped by a combination of biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors. In the Balkans, specific social norms, traditional values, and gender roles play a key role in shaping attitudes toward sexuality and expectations related to it. Here are some key aspects that influence the sexual temperament of men and women in this region:
👫 Influence of Traditional Gender Roles
In the Balkans, traditional gender roles are still strongly present, although they are gradually changing over time. Men are often expected to be the more “active” and initiating partner in sexual relationships, while women are expected to be “modest” and “reserved.” These patterns shape perceptions of sexual temperament, creating pressure on both genders.
♂️ Men
They are expected to be sexually dominant, strong, and have a high sex drive. Sexual activity is often associated with masculinity, which can create pressure to prove sexual potency.
♀️ Women
Traditionally, women were expected to be shy and restrained, especially before marriage. These norms still influence women today, sometimes causing feelings of guilt or shame related to openly expressing their sexuality.
🫶 Sexual Freedom and Social Change
Despite traditional views, in recent decades, changes have been occurring in the Balkans, particularly among younger generations in urban areas. Sexual freedom and gender equality are becoming more accepted, and women are increasingly feeling freer to express their sexual desires.
♂️ Men
Younger generations tend to have a more relaxed approach to sex, where high sexual energy is still expected, but there is also greater understanding of their partner’s needs. 🖤
♀️ Women
Many women now openly express their sexual temperament, seek pleasure, and speak more freely about their desires. This contributes to a more equal and fulfilling sexual life. 🥰
🧑🧑🧒 Influence of Family and Education
Upbringing and education play a major role in shaping sexual temperament. In many parts of the Balkans, sexuality is rarely discussed openly within families or in schools, which can lead to insecurity and a lack of knowledge.
♂️ Men
They usually receive their first information about sex from peers, media, or pornography, which can create unrealistic expectations about sexual performance.
♀️ Women
They often learn about sexuality indirectly, through family values or social norms emphasizing modesty and chastity. This can lead to feelings of shame or fear about exploring their sexuality.
Thus, the sexual temperament of men and women in the Balkans is influenced by many factors. While traditional norms remain strong, modern trends are gradually shifting attitudes toward sexuality, making it more open and equal.
