I have a wife in Canton NC, Marion NC, Florence SC, Columbia Sc, Aiken SC, Middleton GA to rattle off a few areas its like panning for white Gold. Hahaha
Your obvious success in the "Mountain South" is impressive. Are most of the wives you are involved with actually "Southern Girls" or have most moved in from outside the area? Over the past 20 years or so, we've had a lot of non-native-Southerners move in.
In my recent "sneaky tests" (magazines, TV, DVD's, etc) around local girls my nieces' ages (19-25), the reaction to "black men with white women" has been 100% "NO WAY". I'm not surprised at their reaction when the idea is put directly to them, due to their upbringing here in East Tennessee.
My late wife Sarah was pretty much the same mindset as these girls, due to the same upbringing. However, back in 1977-78,we developed a strong friendship with my black co-worker Thomas, while living in coastal North Carolina. Because Thom was a very good trusted friend, we looked at him simply as "Thom", so the interracial aspect was neutralized in our minds. Because "interracial" was sidelined in our thinking, Sarah interacted closely with Thom, and about 15 months or so into the friendship, Sarah's natural sexual instincts overpowered her upbringing and her attraction to Thom grew. At first she was in denial of the attraction. But she and I worked through our surprise, upbringing, feelings and worries, until I surprised her by revealing that I was comfortable with her having Thom as a lover. Thom was her regular lover for more than 10 years (1978-88), and we both NEVER regretted that decision. Today, I'd describe our 10-year relationship with Thom as "Polyamory". Due to work, plus having to be VERY discreet in the coastal NC South, Thom could only get by for a weekend or holiday visit about every 6 weeks or so. Because Thom's visits were so rare, I made sure Sarah was HIS during his time with us. We never did threesomes, although I enjoyed getting regular "sloppy seconds".
Thom was a genuine friend to me as much as he was Sarah's lover. Thom, Sarah and I enjoyed shooting, hunting, fishing, camping, hiking and traveling together. Thom was a great carpenter and he and I often "conspired" on projects around the home! I never felt insecure over Thom's and Sarah's relationship. Seeing Sarah reach incredible sexual highs with Thom between her legs was an absolute joy for me to watch, and I was so happy for her to experience that! Sarah truly loved Thom and their lovemaking was very affectionate and passionate. Sarah admitted that being with Thom was the hottest and best sex she had ever had! In addition to Thom's superb abilities as a lover, the "deliciously dirty thrill" of giving her Southern married self to a black man and taking his seed deep, was simply too hot for Sarah to resist.
That's why I say that the white wife / woman who will be hottest for a black man, will be a Southern-raised woman, provided she can get past the "Southern Taboo" upbringing mindset she was raised with. Hit a Southern woman directly with the idea of a black lover and she will be repelled. But sneak a black man around her as a friend for some time, and that upbringing will fade away as natural sexual instinct takes over! Many, probably most will never "go black". But there will be some who will, and the percentage may be higher than we think!
