In 2014, Christian C. Joyal, did a study to find out which sexual fantasies were more common and uncommon among men and women. Among other information, the study revealed that 27.5% of women have sexual fantasies about interracial sex.
Study participants also rated fantasies for the degree of arousal, and the interracial sex fantasy was
rated for a high degree of arousal (Christian C. Joyal, 2014).
In 2015, another study sought to define the
nature and intensity of sexual fantasies in adults, specifying fetish subgroups. The study also indicated that
interracial sex is one of the most arousing fantasies for women (Christian C. Joyal, 2015).
The black man in women's erotic imagination
Nancy Colbert Friday was an American
writer who wrote several books on female sexuality. Her first book, published in 1973, was "My Secret Garden", which is
a compilation of her interviews with women discussing their sexuality and fantasies, and which became a
bestseller.
Keeping the format of interviews, her books were very successful revealing desires and fantasies
that women were ashamed to expose. Quite often, the women interviewed reported having sexual fantasies about black
men.
A fact that draws attention is that the reports of interracial sex fantasies reported usually involve
situations of submission, humiliation or forced sex.
This is a reflection of the erotic image that black men have in
society, consolidated over hundreds of years. In addition to the social factor, some research has already confirmed that white people have a genetic tendency to perceive black men as stronger and more dangerous. This contributes to the black man being eroticized in fantasies that involve aggression and dominance.
Common sense has established that black men have a larger
penis, are sexually better and are more violent than men of other races. Therefore, in fantasies in which the other
party plays an authoritarian and dominating role, it is common for women to imagine black men exercising this role.
