Cubans say they are great lovers

Psychologists in the Cuban capital, Havana, say Cubans consider themselves the most passionate and gifted lovers in the world.

Several studies published in an official weekly , Juventud Rebelde, show that only one Cuban in three thinks the island's population is average.

Cuban women were said to be loving, romantic, tender and delicate as well as prejudiced and promiscuous.

Cuban men were described as passionate, insatiable, hot and unstable, sexist, show-offs.

However, another study reveals that not everyone shares Cubans' view of themselves.

A survey of three hundred foreigners described Cubans as nice but nothing to write home about.
