Wassup with races?

[Icingsugar]

I just peeked in at the Favourite catecory-thread, and thought of something that I'd like your input on.

There is one thing that I really can't get my head around here. I can understand there is categories forthings like non-consent, mind control and incest, since it is generally forbidden in real life.

I can understand why bondage, fetisism and even why the gay categories exist, since it is either a turn-on or a turn-off for many readers, due to sexual orientation and personal kinks.

But:

Why is there an Interracial category? Does otherwise "normal" (note the quotation marks) sex between pepole with different complexion really strike anyone as so odd that it deserves a category of it's own?

Honestly, does the race of the paticipants really define a story? Are there pepole out there that find sex between blacks, whites, asian, eskimos or whatever either appalling or more exciting than if they hump their own hue? It this really a social taboo anymore?
(And why is there even such a word as Interracial, in this day and age?)

As far as I'm concerned, we could just as well draw the line between tall and short pepole. Or between the thin and the fat, and call it Interweight.

What am I missing here?

A better word would be "Inter-colorful".

Seriously, I like the Interracial section, because I prefer black men. It's not a racial issue, just an estethic one. Some women like blond guys, some like bodybuilders, I like black skin and round noses.

The reason why I like this category has nothing to do with social taboos, because I don't give a rat's ass about that - I've dated/fooled around with so many nationalities, that I'm like a private version of the UN...

I just like to read stories that isn't the same boring vanilla-flavour, with blond surfers - definitely not sexy to me! I want to read stories about the kind of men that I find attractive, because that makes it easier to put myself in the role as the female character.

I hate the "white-snobby-bitch-becomes-cumhungry-slut-for-huge-dick-owned-by-black-primitive-primate" stories. That's why I try to write normal sex stories, where the only thing that doesn't make it end up in Erotic Couplings is the fact that the guy is black or Asian.

 

[oggbashan]

Inter-racial doesn't do much for me because from the perspective of the UK there are no taboos to be broken.

There could be interesting stories about conflict of cultures but I don't see inter-racial as erotic as a matter of course.

I'm still stuck on my story about Southern Indian women's hairy armpits. I might understand the attraction of a hairy female armpit but why only from Southern India or Kerala in particular? I don't get it.

Icing you have officially gone from that fuckin cake guy to that fuckin great cake guy. I enjoy all races and ethnicities and before I was married I was open to dating any one of them. Many of the stories I've written are interraccial but not placed in that category because it's not the focal point of the story. And unless I know the story is going to be great (svenska's) I stay away from that category as it usuually filled to the brim with horrible stereo types. Also this category seems overly violent to me as at least a third of the stories contain a big black guy slamming,banging or forcing his 12 inch cock into the cunt of a small or petite white whore who has always wanted his big mandigo cock in her pure pristine pussy anyway. But that's a secret she's kept away from decent folks that is till the day she meets good old Leroy the servant/janitor/poolboy. Leroy is so happy to get a chance with a white godess he reverts to a slavery style dialect in his haste.

Sugar, what Lauren said, definitely. I raised this question too, and though I like Svenska's attitude and wont, I think the category does have its heels stuck in racism. I never read the category.

I'm a multicultural gal too. My husbands were British, Chinese and Greek, my best lover Russian. I've rarely had white boyz (not that I'm prejudiced, we just haven't mixed that much socially). I absolutely don't think of race or color when it comes to lovers or friends, so I don't get the erotic appeal of the category.

Dear Og,

Southern Indian women are very different from Northen Indian women. They are shorter, darker, from a different racial origin. (Women from Kerala usually have great skin.) I would call North Indian women 'chic' whereas I'd call Keralites 'earthy'. If you are going to write about hairy armpits (yuck) then I guess you'd want to write about earthy hairy armpits (YUCK) rather than chic hairy armpits (yuck too).

Another thing - Kerala is the most educated state in India. I assume the Keralite women fetish is to do with the literacy rate there too. Read subjugating educated bitches rather than hapless village belles. More exciting.

Other than this - why Kerala and not other parts of south India? Keralites do look different than women who live in other parts of south India too. When you say 'Kerala woman', it gets a definite picture into my mind than, say a woman living in Chennai.

Edited because I forgot to mention that Keralites have a different way of dressing. They wear a sari differently. The example I can think of right now is Scot (kilt) vs. Englishman.





Coming back to the original thread topic -

Are there pepole out there that find sex between blacks, whites, asian, eskimos or whatever either appalling or more exciting than if they hump their own hue?

Well, yes.
(And I don't particualrly like the interracial category.)

I'm so not going to comment.....

But on topic (us, on topic?) the interracial section doesn't do it for me either.. But, I can see how it might, depending on the sort of person you are and the sort of upbringing you've had.

White South Africans still carry racism with them, as do many white folk in the 'deep south' of the US. For that reason, many blacks in those areas practise (in thought, if not in deed) reverse racisim..

They do all tend to the very stereotypical, however - And seem to fall into two main categories.

White woman lusts after black man because it's taboo and forbidden (and they're hung like horses, supposedly)

White man forces himself on black woman.

It's rare that you find a story about a "black woman who can't get enough of white cock", for example.

Thank you damppanties. Why Kerala? Because there is a Yahoo group for Kerala women's hairy armpits. I wanted to write a story just for that group. I have now stopped that project because there is a Literotica author who does it much better than I could, is Indian, and understands the audience.

I thought that writing a story about hairy armpits would be a challenge. It was. Now I have declined it.

You are all stuck in an interracial stereotype. This category can encompass stories about Asian women and Slavic reindeer ranchers or even the Turkish pasha with his harem full of exotic women.

It's not always about the big, black American rapist and the blonde Swedish goddess.

Here's my story about a black Brazilian and a Russian beauty Screwed

Absolutely, I totally agree - But that's not what you'll find *most* people go to the Interracial section looking for..

No, but I bet SF wishes it was *grins*

What am I missing here?

I just spend a few hours with this cute little co-ed named Jessica. What I mean by little, she's about 4'7", but as sweet as they come. She had lots of questions, explaining that her father was a racist and that was all that she was tought and knew.

We went and grabbed a bite to eat at a fast food place, and on the way there she was slumped down in the seat and had her face hidden by her long hair and shades. I have dark tented windows and the high doors made it look like I was driving alone.

We sat to eat, and the entire time she was looking around and telling me what she thought people must be thinking. She was really uncomfortable being with me as a black man. She told me that her father told her before that he would disown her if she ever dated a black man.

"I bet he is thinking nigger lover...that's what a daddy say when he sees a white woman with a black man."

Jessica is an 18 y/o freshman trying to find her own identity. She is a really sweet girl.

She asked me if it bothered me. I told her that I don't waste my time with chicken shit sons-of-bitches. I advised her that it would server her better to figure out and do what makes her happy.

She also told me that her punk-ass father calls her stupid, ignorant, and wishes he had a son.

She had a lot more questions for me, all dealing with inter-racial relations.

The fact is, a lot of white kids are tought that black people are scrum.

BTW, that's Jessica's pussy print on my AV.

It's like Lauren said, Iceman .. You don't live in the US.

Racism really do suck!

What was that little girl doing out with you, BS? Trying to get some answers, or just "slumming"?

Hey C1982

I was only commenting that at least a third of the stories on the IR read like that. I generally stay away because of that. I try not to read things that I know are likely to incite me to rage. Besides that I don't mind the stories but I still object to anything being seperated based on ethnic background simply because IMO it denotes racism. To raph I say the North isn't really much better than the south on the racist tip. I much prefer the good ol boys attitude in the south than the veiled racist acrobatics in the north.
That's just me though. Ignorance is everywhere just in different forms.

Ya know, you're probably right, Mrs Dest..

Raph, who went through entirely too much racism in high school and is glad he generally doesn't have to deal with it anymore.

[/B]

It is most definitley not only in the 'deep south' but everywhere in America. Small towns and big cities. Some people are very open about there prejudice, and some are quite good at hiding it. But in America, it's everywhere.

I see no problem with 'interracial' as a category. I think it's great. Some people are attracted to physical diference. I wouldn't like to get soooooo pc, that we didn't have an interracial category cuz then we'd have to get rid of the lesbian and gay sex category. After all is it- or should it be so taboo (especially here on a site like lit)? What if we just put all interracial, gay and lesbian stories in erotic coupliings- or whereever else they might fit? I don't really think the presence of a category denotes any special taboo. For myself, the only category I really found 'taboo' when I first came to lit was incest. It's just a way of categorizing so people can find what they like. (I keep wondering why there is no 'oral sex' category???????)

I do have a problem with some of the crap that get posted in interracial, and I have went on and on about it on my thread which can be found in 'story ideas.'

Personally, I think that yes it is exighting to many, the contrast of skin colors, the difering features, the exotic beauty, even the touch of forbidden. I also think that some races seem to have a higher consentration of better looking people (depending on your standard of beauty of course.) If you are attracted to full lips and round backsides, then there will be more black or mexican girls who turn you on than white or asian. And of course there are also the preconceptions, indian belly danceers, subserviant asians, that fuel many fantasies. Some would say that it's litte better than [evil] stereotype, but I think its ok to fantisize about your giesha as long as you don't expect all asians to be that way. And it will show in your writing if you are making the assumption or just indulging in a fantasy.

Like I said, difernces are viewed by some as exotic and beautiful. I wonder why there aren't more 'Cabanna Boy' fantasies on interracial? I think maybe the 'bad' stories that exist there scare away writers who would post better stuff. And this is silly. It will only get better when we start posting better stuff, reading better stuff and voting. (downvote racist garbage, upgrade the stuff that celebrates diversity, that revels in breaking taboos without pandering to racist attitudes, and that prove that a story can be really hot without treating half of the coupling as less worthy than the other.

What do you think? Anyone up to the challenge. (I know svensaflicka is)

 

[OldnotDead]

Superficial can rhyme with Interracial

There is a lot about this topic I could say. There have also been some really good comments already said. One of my favorite sayings is a paraphrase from a character in a novel from the seventies. . . "There are just so many good reasons to NOT like someone. It seems kind of silly to add skin color to the list."

I, also, am not very thrilled with this category, because I feel like it encourages stereotypes. At the same time, I recognise that there are those that have some strong proclivities and equally strong feelings pro and con.

It just seems, as has already been said, that most stories can be posted in more than one category.

I've said this before but I'll be brief here. I am Mexican (vs. Hispanic, Chicano, Latina, what have you). I was born and lived in Detroit until I was 23. I was a nigger there to most non-black people. Now I live in one of the most multicultural, cosmopolitian and progressive (Leftist if you will) cities in the world. But California is not governed out of San Francisco. I consider this state and The States fundamentally rooted in racism still (born out of racism and violence; the country is too young to have changed beneath the law and surface). I see and hear racism daily. It's not the overt racism that disturbs me. It's subtle, pervasive and I am afraid I cannot imagine it clearing up in my children's children's children's (go on a bit here) lifetimes.

So whatever the pluses or benefits to some, I am sorry Lit. has an interracial catetgory.
