Poneco Parties in Chile

There’s a teenage sexual revolution underway in Chile, that is animated by the emergence of a rebellious new generation of kids born after the 1988 referendum and democratic transition. A generation with no memory of the moral strictures of a conservative dictatorship. One of the bar games, called poneco, invites kids to kiss as many random people as possible. Seventeen year old Michele Bravo: “We are not the children of the dictatorship; we are the children of the democracy.”
