original passage: Overall, Sanchez described Castro as a compulsive lover or "womanizer"; he has been officially married twice but has carried on numerous affairs, including many one-night stands. Popular with women and often recognized as a sex symbol in Cuba, Castro never had difficulty in finding love and seduction, and Sanchez denies that Castro ever engaged in any unusual or un-consensual behavior. Castro was also described as a poor father; often absent from their lives, he had little interest in the activities of his children and was more interested in his work. Raul, who had much more stronger paternal feelings towards his family, was often the one who played the role of surrogate father to Castro's children, in particular Fidelito and Alina.
original sentence: Castro was also described as a poor father; often absent from their lives, he had little interest in the activities of his children and was more interested in his work.
sentence2: Does the passage as a whole make it sound like Cuban propagandists preferred to portray Castro (who played along most of the time) as something of a Lothario that men would want to be, and women would want to be with, more so than the typical American portrayal of every politician being a wholesome mother or father?
