    Brazilian women have a bad reputation worldwide. So, in my humble opinion, its better to be remembered as little fatter as whores.

    You have no 'humble opinion' - you are just offensive.

    In spite of the previous comment, in the North East at least, the more generous breasts (augmented or otherwise) and ample bundas will not result in greater cover-up. Women on the beach do not just wear these skimpinesses to attract men, they like them in their own terms.

    I see no pressure from Government, from the catholics, the evangelicals or the candomble/macumba priesthood. Brasil is not Iran.

    “Brazilian women have a bad reputation worldwide. So, in my humble opinion, its better to be remembered as little fatter as whores. ”

    Only uneducated/people who aren't capable of thinking for themself or Brazilians with a low self esteem of their own culture/people think/say/type comments like that. Those people have a problem with themself.

    Unfortunately what i said is true.
    Brazilian women have a bad reputation worldwide.By the way, this is an opinion based in conversations with people from all over the world. I know you dont think this about my compatriots, as do i, but for the average people that is the general opinion. I lost the count of how many times i see things like:
    “Brazilian women are beutiful and easy, specially for foreigns“
    or
    “In Brazil you can have sex easier than any place, its common for native women have many sexual mates“
    Brazil is so big and diversified that you cant generalize. But we sold this image, now we gather the result.
    greetings.

    4 Brazilian women have a well-deserved reputation as one of the most beautiful on Earth.
    What do you suggest, to force them to wear a blue burka?
    They will probabably kick your rear end with the assistance of many angry men :-)

    I was missunderstood here.
    As offensive (agreed), as low educated an now almost a muslim.
    Brazilian women are the 8th world wonderful, as a Carioca i know this better. And the world would be less happy if brazilians were muslims.
    What i said is, you like or not , brazilian women have a bad reputation as being easy. All of you know this is true, dont deny it.
    So stop showing your knighthood in pointless posts,dont take personally.
    I beg pardon about my english.
    greetings.

    OK, Dan.
    Yes, they might be, on average, more free and in tune with their sexuality than the constrained Iranian women (Sharia Law tends to reduce the population of women that 'transgress' with their men), but when you find and love a Brasilian partner she can be yours for life.

    How I love going to Brazil on summer. Specially since women there can't resist the high trained skills of an Argentine macho.
    When I was 18, I was invited there by a girlfriend I met here in Ushuaia. It was the greatest summer ever.
    But anyway, if Brazilian women are regarded as easy what's left for American ones or the European ones? Those are damn easy!
