Gay black top white bottom

Ever notice how hard it is to find blacks bottoming for whites in interracial porn? With few exceptions, porn studios seem to think there is only one acceptable way to show interracial sex: The hyperaggressive African-American top and the submissive white bottom.

Why Are Whites Always the Bottom in Interracial Porn?

If searches on the Internet didn't lead me to those questions, my experiences while trying to make the video version of my gay sex advice book, How to Bottom Like a Porn Stardid. I spoke to several porn producers about using an gay couple to dramatize the how-to points in the book, and they all told me it wouldn't work unless the black guy topped the white guy.

The producer insisted I was in the minority and that my video wouldn't go viral if I insisted on having a white top. And there you have it, the reason it's so uncommon to find porn that presents black men in full sexual versatility, according to black studios: The buyer is white, and he doesn't want to see it.

He wants the Mandingo experience: a forceful submission to a hypersexual, superaggressive, hung-like-the-Florida-Panhandle street thug. Like all stereotypes, there is a degree of truth in that characterization of gay white men. My friend Mike, who's African-American, recounts many a disappointed look in the faces of white guys who hit on him.

Mike looks a lot like the black guy many whites fantasize about having sex with: he's good-looking, tall and big. But once they hear him speak, a lot of white guys lose interest, because Mike is highly educated and doesn't exactly talk like a tough guy from the streets. Seeing their thug fantasies evaporate, these white guys lose interest and walk white.

Before we go any further, it must be stated that there are porn studios that feature African Americans bottoming for whites. But even porn producers admit it's uncommon. There are two questions that come to my mind. First, are porn studios right that whites don't want to see black bottoms?

And second, if it's true, why? While there are no surveys that I know of of white preferences in interracial porn, I seriously doubt that the full glory of top variety stops at interracial sex -- that whites want to see blacks in one and only one role. As for the second question -- why so many whites want to see the Mandingo version of interracial sex -- there are some intriguing possibilities.

First, the nature of topping. It's often about power and domination. If you were going to build the ideal top, you'd probably say he has to be bigger than you are, in terms of height, weight, and package size. And you might say that since topping is about exerting control, he should also be more aggressive and take-charge than you are.

He's taller, weighs more and has a bigger dick than white guys. Hence, if you're going to show intercourse, as almost all porn does, then it makes sense that the top is going to be the black guy. The thing is that that's a stereotype that is empirically not true. Blacks aren't taller than whites. They don't weigh bottom.
