I believe that women are becoming increasingly in touch with their sexuality, what men have been doing since the dawn of time. Men had the advantage as they didn’t have to pay the consequences of having an affair as they didn’t get pregnant. Now, with birth control not only widely available, and socially acceptable, we see that an increasing number of women are allowing their sexual fantasies to become reality.
But this isn’t limited to interracial play. If you were to ask 100 women who are having an affair if their partner was Black, I would wager that about 25 percent would say yes (but these are made up numbers, not based on statistics). But I would also say that if you asked 100 women of college age if they’ve had sex with a black guy, I would say that the number is up to 50 percent.
Most women enter into an affair in their late 30s through early 50s. This is statistically accurate. Assuming a woman is 45 years old, she will be less attracted to a black guy due to upbringing. When she was a little girl, Blacks were taboo.
Also, consider availability. That 45 yo woman will probably have an affair with someone she knows or works with. Not too many blacks are in the middle to upper middle class work environment, but that IS increasing. So, coupled with the ingrained taboo and the lack of availability, I come to the 25 percent figure mentioned above.
Not so with college aged women. They are increasingly surrounded by Blacks in school and the taboo isn’t nearly as strong. Plus, there is that sense of adventure all kids in their early 20s have. These three factors all contribute to the 50 percent noted above.
Now, none of this is statistically proven, just based on what I’ve read and the research I’ve done on the topic. Feel free to blast holes in this essay. It’s just my opinion, but the theory does fit the facts.
