Can someone explain the (erotic/porno) deal with Inter-Racial (IR) sex?
(there is even a preset posting category prefix on this site called Non Fiction Stories - Interracial).

I think this is primarily a US thing involving a white woman having sex with a black (ie african-descent) man. There are a number of threads here and in (US) porn generally where this is a kink/taboo/bonus/perversion or perhaps a degradation (of the white woman). The legacy of slavery, segregation and apartheid-style laws in many US states banning miscegnation is part of the founding "Original Sin" of the US which still reveberates today in voter suppression, penal policy, law enforcement, poverty and other ugly aspects of current US politics. Is IR as porn part of this? Is IR more of a thing in the Deep South and among Republicans?

I don't think IR is as big a thing in European porn - most European colonizers abolished slavery before the US did.

But what is the erotic/porno thing about black men with white women? If it was simply racial mixing or skin colour contrast or novelty then I would expect a similar number of black women and white men - but that isn't so.

Is it simply stereotypic penis size? - but there are plenty of porn films involving white men with big dicks.

Some of the threads here with titles like "Husband sharing his wife with a black guy" seem to assume that all white wives are married to white husbands and that no white women are married to black men.

To me this "kink" of IR porn has racist undertones (because of history, not necessarily because its connoisseur are racist) which I personally don't find any more erotic than any man and woman having sex. But obviously others do and I ask them to explain their appreciation of this "kink".

I'm not judging anyone - I'm trying to understand.
