Growing up in a Latino household, real conversations about sex often felt one-sided—or didn’t happen at all. In this special episode, Dramos opens up about how that silence made it harder to talk openly with friends and partners about sex, intimacy, and boundaries. He explores the fears and cultural pressures that make these talks intimidating, from worries about inexperience to the weight of tradition. Dramos also shares why learning to be vulnerable with peers and partners is so important for sexual health and building real trust. From navigating dating and safe sex to getting tested regularly, this episode breaks down why these “hard conversations” matter—and how having them can help protect yourself and others, emotionally and physically.

“Life As A Gringo” is a podcast from Z100 On-Air Personality, Dramos. The show represents the voices of American-born Latinos who live their lives existing in a gray area. Those who are looked at as a gringo or “too white” by their family back in their native land, but were constantly reminded that their house smelled different or their parents music was “weird” by the people they grew up with. This is life as seen through our eyes.

“...one feels at home in both places, yet at home in neither place”
