Latin America comprises 20 countries and 14 dependent territories throughout the Western Hemisphere. It is a diverse and plural region in terms of its geography, cultures, languages, and historical experiences, with fifteenth-century colonialism as a common denominator. Two areas in which the lingering effects of coloniality seem clearly ever-present are the realms of gender and sexuality. The latter encompasses sexual fantasies, a subject of focus in this article. The examination of sexual fantasies remains a ripe area for future research, particularly throughout the Global South, where its linkages to coloniality should be explored in detail. To contribute to this larger and long-term goal, we implemented an online qualitative study designed to document the sexual fantasies of Spanish-speaking individuals living in the Latin American region. We developed a data-gathering form that included open-ended questions to document sexual fantasies. The form was available through the JotForm online platform that was linked to the study webpage entitled “A Calzón Quita’o.” We conducted a thematic analysis to identify response patterns. Three main categories emerged from: (1) spatiotemporal references, (2) multiple partners, and (3) power, control, and rough sex. We relied on perspectives linked to ongoing discussions about coloniality to analyze the thematic content in the participants' responses regarding their sexual fantasies. The findings highlight the existing tensions between the reproduction of—and resistance to—the norms associated with gender roles and their embodiment within the framework of the gender binary inherited from coloniality.

拉丁美洲由遍布西半球的 20 个国家和 14 个附属领土组成。从地理、文化、语言和历史经历来看，它是一个多样化和多元化的地区，以十五世纪的殖民主义为共同点。殖民主义的挥之不去的影响似乎始终存在的两个领域是性别和性欲领域。后者包含性幻想，这是本文的重点主题。对性幻想的考察仍然是未来研究的成熟领域，特别是在整个南方国家，应该详细探讨性幻想与殖民性的联系。为了实现这一更大的长期目标，我们实施了一项在线定性研究，旨在记录生活在拉丁美洲地区的西班牙语人士的性幻想。我们开发了一种数据收集表格，其中包括用于记录性幻想的开放式问题。该表格可通过 JotForm 在线平台获取，该平台链接到题为“A Calzón Quita'o”的研究网页。 ” 我们进行了主题分析来确定响应模式。产生了三个主要类别：（1）时空参考，（2）多个伴侣，以及（3）权力、控制和粗暴的性行为。我们依靠与正在进行的关于殖民性的讨论相关的观点来分析参与者关于性幻想的反应中的主题内容。研究结果强调了与性别角色相关的规范的复制和抵制之间存在的紧张关系，以及它们在殖民时期继承的性别二元框架内的体现。
