Some very astute and accurate observations in your post.I know you're probably thinking specifically of the ir hotwife/cuckold dynamic (which I'm all in favor of consenting adults exploring, although it's not personally relevant to me) but more broadly with regard to the IR Movement the awareness of it which permeates into both mainstream entertainment and society, as well as all genres of erotica and porn, makes it an omnipresent background in our culture, whether people hop on board or not.
It was never really that hard to just be candid about dating Black boys. But I think it's correct that the 'background noise' has never been more loud or steady. Just five years ago a bit of cajoling friends about 'you're not racist, are you?' was part of the teasing arsenal to help armtwist them to agree to a little Black blind date. Now it's almost like a stern look or exasperated sigh is enough to convey the same effect. Between BLM consciousness raising about the need for active anti-racism on the one hand, and the erotic consciousness for which BLACKED is the spearhead, you just dont have to do as much explaining or convincing. Now it's more like declaring a team preference--"I'm Team Black Boys. Why aren't you?" It's increasingly difficult, even anxiety-inducing for girls who are sitting it out, not giving a Black guy a try, and expecting the convo to drop without becoming awkward for them, instead of me. Now, when I evangelize a friend into going out with a Black guy, I feel like I've got the whip hand and I don't have to let it drop if she squirms a little. Resistance is more difficult, more socially shaming for them. And they've already been prepped by pop culture into seeing this possibility for them as real.
It's like anything, the more people see others indulging their desires in a particular way, the less afraid they are to indulge their own desires in the same way.
With the power structure in society shifting, there are fewer obstacles than ever before getting in the way of white women dating black men. Originally, misogynist and racist attitudes imposed by the dominant members of the family structure contributed to white womens fear of exploring their sexuality properly. As time passed and some of the more extreme aspects of racism and misogyny subsided, white women were still left with a sense of anxiety I think. The older attitudes persist in some places but in a much more subtle way, and are much more frowned upon when recognized nowadays thankfully. The wider publicity of interracial relationships in porn and entertainment is really helping to clear up the last of those anxieties white women still had I feel. More white guys like myself than ever before are also learning to face facts about their own sexual shortcomings and inability to satisfy women properly. I definitely feel we are turning a major corner right now.
