"Given that we've been a multi racial country for a longer time than most of us on here have lived I don't think its specifically about any 'taboo's' from back in the day, there still exists a lot of prejudice and outright racism nowadays in any case.. its just folks preferences is all.." I don't know. I know that one of my lovers was dating a woman of colour for a while and his parents really didn't approve. He's about ten years older than me. | |||

It was probably more to do with the age difference than colour....it is still a big taboo with many. | |||

"There is nothing more forbidden or taboo about interracial sex than there is about the lifestyle in general. I don't understand why people have trouble understanding that it can be just an attraction thing. Why do people assume it is anything more sinister than that? And why the need to understand others sexual preferences?" I'm just one of those people who is extraordinarily interested in humans and their behaviour. I've been with a few black men and women but never felt that the experience was any different, so I was just wondering, that's all. | |||

"There is nothing more forbidden or taboo about interracial sex" I also think it's naive to ignore hundreds (thousands?) of years of culture as well. For many people interracial sex is taboo because they were brought up to think it was wrong to have that kind of relationship - hence why mixed race children can be so bullied and looked down upon. | |||

"I don't think its any different from being attracted to blondes, brunettes or red heads for instance, some like thin people some like them larger, some like tall some prefer shorter, it's all just a matter of taste. If there wasn't such a variety of tastes and everybody fancied the same thing then we wouldn't live in such a diverse world. " | |||

Interesting. I must say though - I've always felt that mixed race children are seen as the most beautiful? The mix of (usually) black/white, creates beautiful people S x | |||

If there wasn't such a variety of tastes and everybody fancied the same thing then we wouldn't live in such a diverse world. " Hit the nail right on the head, everyone has their taste, in a swinging environment it generally is about being able to pick which sweets you'd like to taste, much before you consider them as a person, their personality or beliefs. That said, someone outside of swinging could find their mixed relationship is because of the person they met, and who they are, they have become attracted to who and not what colour this person is. I do think that just like for many other reasons, some people may have chosen to, date, fuck, or whatever as either a rebellious thing, to be cool or some other reason(sometimes racially derived)other than either sexually attracted or emotionally attracted. But that isn't just a Race thing, that equally could be two people of same Race, but a class, status or thing.... Here another good example, how many young girls you heard say I want a squaddie, or fireman...I personally would be quite upset if the reason someone wanted to fuck or date me was only because I was a black, fire fighting squaddie! But I'd probably take advantage of it. | |||

I've been with a few black men and women but never felt that the experience was any different, so I was just wondering, that's all." You're right. The experience is no different other than the attraction factor. Thats why I find it fascinating that so many struggle to try to understand it. | |||

I'm not being naive or ignoring years of culture I get that for a small minority it may be a taboo thing. However, I can only speak for myself and I certainly don't view it as taboo! | |||

Buy a calendar. My mixed-race children have never been bullied, have friends of all ethnicities and are popular in their schools. Indeed, why not accept that someone can be attracted to darker skin and bigger muscles just as some gentlemen prefer blondes? | |||

"I can get my head around lots and lots of different sexual practices. I can generally understand where someone is coming from when they do all kinds of odd things to themselves or other people. But I've never understood the specific appeal for interracial sex. Is it mostly appealing to those who are a bit older and grew up in a world where having sex with someone of a different race would have been forbidden (or at least a bit awkward)? Just another taboo for those reasons? Do you think it's less of a thing with younger people because we've grown up in a world where there's nothing strange or taboo about having sex with someone who is a different race?" There's nothing to understand really. People like what they like. The reasons will vary but the outcome will be the same. | |||

"I dont see anything wrong in people having their preferences...but its when people start generalizing people that does my head in" and this is what it comes down to...... it is a double edged sword.... it is as much of people who play up to the stereotypes and generalisations as it is of the people who what said stereotype one doesn't feed without the other.... I tell people I ain't anyones stereotype.. I am me and the best me I can be!! so if they want "stereotype" that its a hi and bye from me..... | |||

And would rather go by the individual and their own qualities We are all human after all | |||

"I dont see anything wrong in people having their preferences...but its when people start generalizing people that does my head in" I do think a lot look for racial stereotypes, whereas to me that's unappealing. I have sex with those I'm attracted to and don't actively look at race or anything like that, but I do get out off by messages offering nothing more than a BBC as I want to enjoy the person not just one physical attribute. I do think in some areas though there is still a taboo factor though. I'm from Bolton so I've grown up surrounded by every ethnicity going, but I now live more towards Leigh and work in Warrington and seeing a non-white face in these areas is pretty unusual despite them being so close. I've noticed a few times when people have treated my Indian friend a bit differently (not necessarily badly), and that's probably because of stereotypes they have that she may not fit? | |||

Going through each post individually, I found myself compelled to respond at various points but none more so than at this point. I've mentioned this to others but I think some of the confusion/resentment of this particular preference is a perceived 'image' or stereotype. For example, there exists a black stereotype, perpetuated by 'road dramas' and factors such as physical build in addition to a 'braggadocios' personality. Anyone who has spoken to me and/or met me knows I'm no 'stereotype'. Lol But there are those who have turned me down for that reason, even if not explicitly stated. And just to add, I have 3 good friends who, when we were younger, loved black guys. For them, it was black men and nothing else... Each of them then fell in love and got serious with White men. It kind of lends itself to the suggestion that they were drawn to an image or stereotype of black men. As if they had not thought of anything past the perception or the inferred danger element. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about general preferences (as I've benefitted from those, lol) and we mostly have those, even if they manifest themselves differently. I'm one of those people who has only known a multiracial/cultural existence (I'm a year older than the OP) having grown up in London, but not so young that I've not encountered comments and quizzical looks about people I've been with. Whatever our views on the subject, it'll always be there. | |||

"Few profiles specify Asian only. It's usually Caucasian or bbc " Indeed, its not exotic that people want, otherwise there would as many people looking for big chinese cock as big black cock. As others have said, there is a stereotype about black men and it is perpetuated by porn. I would also guess that a lot of people here watch a fair bit of porn. For some reason guys never wanted to be cukolded by an Indian or Japanese male. | |||
