White Men Sexuality Myths

I got inspired to do this blog listening to a podcast over at Angry Black Cat. It made me think about white male myths. Whenever me and my girlfriends start discussing sex, in particular with my black girlfriends, I get the inevitable question about sex with my husband. Hey can you be satisfied by a small dick? Is he crazy freaky in bed? Is it pink? They ask these questions in complete seriousness. I am wondering why there is this notion that white men are these guys with small packages who enjoy playing anal ringtoss. Seriously, it makes you wonder why do these stereotypes exist?

The big myth is that white men have smaller penises on average than black men. Now as a woman I can say I have never laid down with a man with a 14 inch penis, and I probably wouldn't want to, that sounds about as fun as a pap smear. On the flip side though, I have never been with a man that has a micro penis. I googled this to see if there were any stats to say if there was a difference in penis size based upon race and most answers given were no and inconclusive, there is no real way to know for sure. All races come in all sizes. Why do white men get the short end of the stick so to speak when it comes to penis size?

In terms of the color of a penis. I have never seen a purple or pink penis. Personally I don't think I could lay with a guy who had said colored penis, I guess that when my friends say this, they I guess think that white people already look pink, or since blood rushes to the penis during an erection, it "turns" pink.

In terms of white guys being freaks. I think that black folks feed each other that nonsense to justify why someone would be with a white person. I remember growing up being told white girls would do anything, that is why black boys chase after them. I know white people have heard the stereotypes about blacks in general just loving to have sex and make babies. I think that the freakiness depends on the individual. It isn't due to race. Maybe this stereotype abounds because when we hear of crazy sex crimes in the media, it is usually white men. Black men per the news only commit violent crime. White men just have crazy sex and embezzle money from large companies and their shareholders. R. Kelly and Michael Jackson are the exceptions, not the rule.

The truth is these women have never seen a white penis and can only come up with stereotypes and ideals that have been engraved in their minds on why they should not be with a white guy. If they knew the truth, it would probably give them less ammunition to justify why they feel they must deal exclusively with black men to prove how "down" they are with the black community.

Not to feed stereotypes but I hear and this was told to me by a white guy. You know how the European Union is standadizing everything. When it came to condoms, they agreed that the condoms should be 6 inches long. According to this White guy, the Germans protested that the size was too big. Maybe he was German bashing but who knows.
I know one time the concession of condoms that was meant for china found its way to my country and they had to destroy them because they were useless to our population. This is a true story buy the way.

And when it comes to penis size since AA have become mixed, the results of surveys would not be authetic.

Seriously. There are tribes from Africa and across the board everyone is simply big with rare exceptions. How do we know this? Boarding school. Since we all go through it, it is normal to look at your same sex peers naked. Certain tribes stand out above the rest.True story. The average age of entering Boarding school is 8 yrs of age and you leave when you are 18. So you have about 10 years to trust your senses.

I am gonna give you a quote so bare with me. It is from the manuscript of Ibn Fadlan, written 922 A.D.

( "The women believe that the Arabs are stallions, for so they have heard as a rumor" Nor was this any amazement to me, for this reason: in all the lands I have traveled, and so also within the round walls of the City of Peace, verily in every location where men gather and make for themselves a society, I have learned these things to be truths. First, The peoples of a particular land believe their customs to be fitting and proper and better than any other. Second, that any stranger, a man or also a woman, is accouonted inferior in all ways save in the matter of generation. Thus the Turks believe the Persians gifted lovers; the Persians stand in awe of the black skinned peoples; they in turn of some others,severally; and so it continues, sometimes by reason given of proportion of genitalia, sometimes by reason given of endurance in the act, sometimes by reason given of special skill or posturing.)

Whew!!! OK that was written more than a thousand years ago. so draw your own conclusions my fingers are tired.

MystereDancer said...

Yes! Can I add another myth: White men love to perform oral sex!Some do, some don't..but I wasn't trying to work my through the population to test that theory! LOL.Really,I would like to know how many women want a humongous size dick? That's a painful thought.
Truly, If one eyes are closed, you can't see or feel color...it's what's in the heart that matters most.

I wonder who benefits from the "White men have small penises" sterotype? Just questions one has to ask themselves

The only people that I know who question WM size is BW & BM for different reasons. From what I know most people seem to acknowledge that Asian men are the smallest. WM are not the biggest and not the smallest, they're somewhere in the middle along with Latino men. It really depends on the man. If a BM is larger flaccid than say a WM when flaccid than that WM has more to gain when he becomes erect not the BM. I mean who cares how big you are when soft as opposed to hard.

DMB said...

At the risk of sounding archaically racist, I dare say that there MIGHT be some truth to the penis size thingie, too.

I think it has to do with the levels of testosterone. And they are different when it comes to race.

My husband went to a Japanese bath last year and he came home quite traumatized by the er, sizes of the penises!

Of course, there are variations within each race, but....

Of course, that is no excuse to justify dating only one race.

I think the bottom line is that, historically, Black women have felt that the world perceives their beauty as less than that of white or Asian women. I think many Black women would be interested in dating men outside the race, but there is some unconscious low-self esteem there. Perhaps they fear they wouldn't truly be accepted by someone who wasn't Black. I don't know.

Whenever I have dated outside my race (and I have dated White, Asian and Latino men,)the most difficult thing for me was dealing with the open hostility and disrespect from Black men.

I felt that if I were to marry someone who wasn't Black, there would be a lot of my old haunts that I wouldn't feel as comfortable in because I would fear (my partner and I) being disrespected.

But perhaps it varies depending on where you live.

Anyway, if I were you, I would encourage my friends to give inter-racial dating a try! Why should we limit our resources for finding Love? Doesn't make sense, in my book.

First, I love love love love the post!!!!
We are talking about pee- pee's!!! YAY!!!
*jumps about in joy*

That right there is a girl's best friend... Forget Diamonds...
Gimme Cubic Zirconia and a good pee-pee and I'll forever love you...
Ok end of my imagination...

The wm have small penes story is just that to me. A story. I'm sure there are some who do but I dont think it should be dumped on the whole population.
I am also certain there's some bm with tiny wee's.

I have however come across studies that state that bm on average have bigger larger penes than those of wm. Asian's have been said to have the tiniest penes in the male population. Check out this bbc article.

Anyhoo, I have a myth that maybe some of you could help me debunkify. I have a thing for tall guys 6"3' - 6"5'...
I have come to realise that I believe that the taller a guy, the chances that his penis wont be a dissapointment and I am yet to be proven wrong. So, is there any colleration btwn height and penis size???

roslynholcomb said...

I get this question even more than I do the pubic hair question. (Which is bizarre to say the least.) Frankly, the only men who've asked me for anal sex have all been black––and I declined. I think freakiness is what you make of it. I won't discuss the color or size of my dh's penis, suffice it to say I have no complaints in the bedroom.

Seattle Slim said...

The pink penis thing always gets me. *sigh* It really is trite. But either way who cares if it is pink right? You're not supposed to spend time STARING at it are ya? ;) LOL

daphne said...

Is he crazy freaky in bed?

Hey siditty! First time posting in your next of the woods. Nice blog!

Regarding the above question, I know a few black women who want to date a white man solely because of the belief that he's more likely to go downtown. Half of the time when they talk about it, I'm thinking, "OK, so if he's doesn't, he's not worth dating?" Doesn't make sense to me, especially when these same women are about to catch a case if a white man dares to think of a black woman sexually. So.....it's fine for you to reduce a man to his sexual abilities, but it's not okay for a man to do the same to you? What the hell?

BeautyinBaltimore said...

I've seen a micri penis before, and his balls were bigger than his penis(sad). I wrote a post about September 06.

Now as far as penis size goes, Oprah did a show about sex and a study was stated saying blk man>white man> Asain men.

I wouldn't want a 14 incher either.

Grata, which tribes are these guys from. I may have to switch my identity. I am no longer 1/2 half Yourba-Nigerian. I will go on the look out.

I have only dated one black man, and I really wanted to know if the rumors were true about brothas. Sadly, this fellow did not confirm the rumor. It was rather...disapointing. From now on, I think I'll avoid all the rumors about any group of men...

Siditty said...

People are quick to think that ALL black men have huge penises though, why all white men have small penises? Why? What is the benefit of having these stereotypes? What is gained from them? To me these stereotypes reinforce the whole black men are sexually deviant animals willing to rape to fulfill their sexual appetite.

Casper,

This is so true!!!! It puts a good perspective to everything. In terms of your new WM celebrity status at the other blogs, congrats!!!! You are the new hot thing. The BW love ya!!!!!

That one kills me!!! Of course if you were to talk to a bunch of black women, only white women perform oral sex, that is why the black men flock to them LOL

It does make you wonder doesn't it?

Anon:

Good question. What if he is a shower not a grower? In terms of white men penis size, I have had many white men, guys I barely know ask me if I think white men have smaller penises than black men. I can't really answer I haven't seen much black penis to be honest, unless you count porn, which porn penis is a whole different animal all together. White men and women are curious as well to know if stereotypes are true.

DMB:

It doesn't in mine either, but these women are holding steadfast for a black man, they can't fathom a white man could love them too. I do have one friend who is becoming more open. She is 34 and wanting to find a good man period. I hope she finds him.

Soila:

Let me debunk that theory. I love the tall guys too. The guy I dated before I was with my husband was 6'5, a college basketball player, not that I ever did anything with him (in case the husband is reading), but that guy was working with nothing, it was really sad. The worst thing is he thought he was just so huge, it was really a very average size penis, that he really didn't know what to do with any way. Not that I would know what he was working with. I saved myself for my husband ::wink wink::

On a side note, I got teased endlessly for dating this guy, I managed to end up dating one of the three white guys on the whole basketball team LOL.

------

Frankly, the only men who've asked me for anal sex have all been black––and I declined.

I have been asked by all races of men for this request. I think it is a new thing, it is almost expected. Porn has ruined the real ideals of sex. I decline as well, I can't be giving away everything, let something stay virgin on my body.

The pubic hair question kills me as well. I don't understand the rationale behind it.

-----

You're not supposed to spend time STARING at it are ya?

Seattle Slim:

Exactly, who sits there staring at penis all day. If there is one there, you usually are not just staring at it.

So.....it's fine for you to reduce a man to his sexual abilities, but it's not okay for a man to do the same to you? What the hell?

Daphne:

Welcome!!!! Yeah I don't get the double standard either. A man can't say anything sexual about you, but you can him, and he is supposed to be ok with it?

Beautyinbaltimore:

How sad. The smallest penis I ever saw was on a hispanic man. I guess that would be my micropenis story, of course I only fooled around with him once, but it was a definite turn off.

In terms of penis size, I wonder on the study how were things measured, was it done in a lab, or did the guys fill out a survey and just tell the researchers?

It does truly make me wonder. How do we determine penis size in these studies LOL

Beauty in Baltimore,

Please be careful making statements like that. You want all the White men in Baltimore to go on a stampede trying to prove themselves ?

Yan said...

Soila,
No there is not height-size correlation. If anything, it may be inverse based on my (limited) experience. The biggest guys I have been with were 5'8 and 5'6.

I read that article when it first came out. I know Indian men were po'd that day!!!

Siditty said...

The biggest guy I was never with that I ever saw was on a guy who was 6'4. His nickname when he was a toddler was sausage. His parents gave him this name for real. How scary.

Grata said...

"Anyhoo, I have a myth that maybe some of you could help me debunkify. I have a thing for tall guys 6"3' - 6"5'..."

Soila,

Esp. with Africans there are no rules of proportion. The biggest guys that are univerally known back home are all quite short and not big bodywise. There is a list of men one should never sleep with. True story!

Casper said...

Ummm. I can't say that I wanted the celebrity. Why can't people just love me for my mind.

Soila. said...

Ya'll,
Thanks for debunking my twisted myth for me. I still prefer really tall men though :)
A friend of mine once told me it's not about how big "it" is but how well one can use it... I think my preference would be average so long as the dude can work what the universe gave him :)

Thembi said...

I have seen micro penis - on a Israeli-Colombian.

I have seen pink - on a white guy.

I have also been totally disappointed by what looked like a mandingo with his clothes on.

I actually once read an article on "growers vs showers", that said that white men tend to be 'growers' who rise to the occasion and black men are 'showers' who stay the same size for the most part. This is more along the lines of what I have experienced.

Overall, any woman who claims to have enough experience to comment must be really nasty if she thinks she has a large enough sample size to make statistical claims!
