I seek out scenes starring my favorite female performers. I don't see myself buying a scene just because it is a BBC themed scene unless I like the female. I'm also not longing for BBC scenes with my favorites: if it happens fine but no disappointment if it doesn't.
I guess I'm interested in seeing what the appeal in BBC scenes is in the hopes of acquiring a taste for them myself. I'm always looking for new ways to eek out more porn enjoyment.

Yes, that's clearly an element of some fantasies, some of which are fantasies about fantasies: Naughty girls turn me on, so I like to imagine -- and see indications that -- they're conscious of their deliberate naughtiness. So that puts me in the position of fantasizing that the female performers fantasize about BBCs, about anal sex, and about lots of other things I enjoy watching.
I suppose BBC is a more specific tag than just "interracial," but there are certainly people who find the mixed-race aspect of the encounters to be the appealing part. It's fair to say that porn tends to be interested in big cocks of all shapes & colors; I don't recall seeing any porn videos tagged as "small black cock."Iddaoeeok wrote: it's particularly popular among American porn users ....
Is this a guess or are you relying on data? (Not trying to pick a fight, but this is contrary to my own intuition; if you're just guessing I don't want to argue, but if you can prove it I'm curious.)drevokocur66 wrote:Contrast all the way.
That's a visual description that's sorta-kinda independent of race as such: Contrasting complexions can be attractive, whether they're genetic or the result of bikini time. I agree this can be a big factor of my reaction to individual scenes & performers, just like costuming, sets, location, etc.
avanfurwet wrote:Interesting. I don't have data and I'd be surprised and impressed if other fans do.
But I always thought the whole "interracial" porn genre originated in USA and stereotypically features African/American males as studs with white women in submissive roles, and extends into porn sub-genres like cuckolding white males. I think Europe is just following the US trend, but I don't know if "interracial" is as popular in Europe.
Iddaoeeok wrote:I don't have data either, just something I've noticed over the years. I agree that the contrast between dark skin and very pale white skin (redheads, blondes - real ones, that is) looks pretty cool.

While I can take or leave BBC scenes, if given a choice I'd rather see my favorite female stars get pounded by white guys. For me it boils down to this: when I watch porn I think of myself as the guy in the scene with the girl. Being white myself it's easier for me to imagine I'm the guy in the scene -white cock, like my white cock, fucking model. This goes for any ethnicity girl in the scene. I love white guys with black/Asian/Latina/Indian, etc. females.

Focusing on the taboo aspect, which I'll call the "Mandingo Factor" to distinguish it from (for example) the contrast or even the interracial aspect: The reason I asked about data is because my own intuition leads me to suspect that there are Mandingo fantasy fans, male & female, hetero- & other, in lots more places than just the U.S. My hunch is that the taboo originated with not specifically American, but rather slave-owning cultures, in which "We have to keep the slaves down/in chains/under the whip or they'll rape all our women!" has been used as a justification to fan up fear which in turn can smooth the path for brutal oppression. By painting the "Mandingo" figure as being barely in control of his sexual impulses and capable of animalistic acts, the slave-owners accidentally made a lot of bored slave-owning women ... thoughtful. There are indeed tons and tons of examples in American art, literature, and yes, porn, that reflects and probably prolongs & fans the interest of those stereotypes that do indeed date back to slavery in the American colonies. (FWIW, I'm a white American male born & reared in the Old South.)
But I don't think there was any significant difference between the "Mandingo" stereotype as preached in the North American colonies of Great Britain and other contemporaneous British or other European colonials (French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, Italian, German) when they had slave-owning colonies. I recall seeing BBC advertisements in the red light districts of Amsterdam, for example. And these are really, really old stereotypes. Indeed, consider Shakespeare's "Othello," which is practically made for BBC parody porn now, but was also very much about interracial sex in earlier lusty eras.
So I'm guessing that you might be right in your guess, but by less than you might be guessing. Heh ...
For example, at soccer matches in some "eastern" European countries with little/no inward migration, black athletes will endure having bananas thrown at them and monkey noises from the spectators. Wheras in the USA, which is still a deeply racist society, black athletes seem to be accepted and lauded. And in the more "western" European countries (and ex-colonial powers) the same seems to be true. So culturally where America leads, Europe follows, eventually.

OK, so both good and bad behaviour happens in all European countries. We can pick examples from any country. Whether you or I personally are racist isn't an indicator for a whole country. IMO all European countries contain some racist people.
Some racist abuse continues today in western European football. But watching football from eastern Europe today, the general level of racism appears to me similar to western Europe 30 years ago. And 30 years ago there were almost no black people in eastern Europe at all. So different countries are changing and adapting in different ways.
My point remains that racism is different in countries which have no history of colonies and subsequent inward migration. Not better. Just different. And that influences the market for fantasy porn.

Chazzum, do you also like tan lines? I'm a big fan of tan lines, especially bikini tan lines: the contrasting skin tones work like lingerie for me, emphasizing the naughtiness of the naughty bits. Oh, I can appreciate a good complexion when it's in monotone, too -- the pure white, the smooth bronze, the dark chocolate, whatever. But on any given woman, tan lines (even faint ones) make her look twice as naked when she's naked. As for identifying myself with performers: Like the vast majority of porn watchers, I have to use my imagination to identify even with the male performers who are my own race.

I kind of like the contrasting skin colours thing. But for me that works equally well with white guy + black girl.
I realize this is neither here nor there, but just to clear up some of the historical falsities that have arisen in this discussion:
1. Slavery did occur in Europe, even Eastern Europe. Examples - slavery existed in Poland for approximately 400 years (actually more time than it lasted in the British colonies/USA) during the reign of the Piast dynasty, ending with the death of Casimir the Great, who upon his death freed all of the slaves. It also existed in Russia, though they were technically classified as kholops.

Although I think we were mainly discussing the colonies and plantations in the Americas as places with large black slave populations controlled by a few white landowners from which the myths which eventually became porn stereotypes could have originated and developed. And AFAIK Poland at various times controlled parts of Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, etc but was never a long-range naval colonial power with overseas plantations. The rest of discussions about forced labour and vassal populations at various times in history within Europe are IMO interesting but off-topic.

Sorry for the historical rants, not trying to annoy anyone, just thought some might find it interesting.
And in the middle ages throughout the European/Eurasian continent I think kings, khans and warlords simply enslaved whoever they could get their hands on, which at the time was mostly people from nearby regions, often of similar racial mix.

avanfurwet wrote:I agree we Brits must own our unsavoury history as a slave-owning nation. The reason I think the porn stereotype came out of the Americas is because that is where the plantations were. There were almost no black people in Europe until the 20th century, and still are very few today as a % of the population.
leroisoleil83 wrote:Getting back to interracial porn though, I'd speculate the reason for it's appeal are largely due to what was 1. the original desire of white people now having flipped. Instead of a amazon-like rich woman dominating a black kid, the desire has flipped to wanting to see a black man overtake a young white girl. Also another influence is the black porn viewer which has spread to other societies. Alot of what porn is for some is simply fantasy, or perhaps transposing ones-self into the scene, which of course for a black viewer would be easier with a black actor. (shrugs) Just my opinion, though. Sorry for the historical rants, not trying to annoy anyone, just thought some might find it interesting.

Think about it.
Modern day black gangs only exist because the communities that spawn them are ghettos of poverty, discrimination and barriers to legitimate opportunities.
The porn fantasy is the same. Badass virile black guy. Not "repectable".
Not saying it's a good thing. But it is what it is.

But those aren't the same stereotypes. Being enslaved and being a badass in a lawless gang are two different things.
The idea is also problematic because of how some black people themselves approach sex. It's not difficult to find sexually explicit rap that boasts about doggy style and exploiting "bitches". That is coming directly from black people rather than non-blacks portraying them in some stereotypical way.

avanfurwet wrote:IMO the porn stereotypes are directly connected down the centuries.
The idea is that "interracial" porn originated from communities where black and white races co-existed under unnatural, unequal and segregated conditions, where a market arose to cater for white people's fantasy of guilt-free taboo sex with physically attractive black manual workers. The stereotypes of interracial porn arose because the races were/are not respected or treated as equals.
Modern American "black culture" developed against a social background of segregation, prejudice and injustice which is a direct consequence of the history of slavery. Some black culture features alienated angry young black men ranting about seeking empowerment by doing unto others. In some ways this perpetuates the cartoon stereotypes and slows any progress towards peace, respect and equality.

. Gangsta style - "bitches", money, guns, expensive cars etc. It doesn't mean all afroamericans approach sex in the same manner.
