From the “Dude, what are you thinking?” file, more displays of genius from my InBox. This time from a brother who signed his name and address (but I’ll spare him his own mistake) and had a real problem with a recent article in our sister publication, Ebony, about finding love and sex in Brazil.
Said brother will also never have sex with a woman in America again- ever
- : To Whom It May Concern:I am upset and concerned about an article in your recent magazine about
“What Happens in Brazil Stays in Brazil.” The title should be “Why
Black American Men choose to go to Brazil for their sexual appetites.” I
can not believe the anger presented by Black American Females over a trend
that they more than helped to create. If they, as a group, were satisfying
their men then this trend would not exist.
The plight of Black American men, when it comes to sexual satisfaction or
adventure, is just as blighted as many of the neighborhoods they are forced
to live in, in large American cities. There are several advantages that
most cities in Brazil present to Black American men that do not exist here
in America.
1. The male to female population distribution in a country like Brazil far
exceeds the population distribution that exists here in America. In large
American cities that have a reasonable Black population, I believe, the
ratio of Black females to Black males, to be almost 50 – 50. That is about
1 to 1 or at best 1 to 1.5 males to females. In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil the
ratio is around 25 to 1 females to males. This is the case because not only
Black Brazilian women but several other racial groups of Brazilian women are
available to Black American men. There are no taboos to race mixing in
Brazil as there exists here in America.
2. Unfortunate[ly] for Black American women, about 85 % of the available
Brazilian women are naturally beautiful in face and figure to about 10 %
here in the States.
3. Brazilian women are extremely passionate, willing and able to make love
almost on the spot. This is due to their different culture where as our
Black American women seem to be prudish which is a direct result of American
culture. And worse, Black American women who give it up to easy are labeled
as sluts and whores while Black American men do not bother to label foreign
women the same way. This is more of the impact on these men by our culture.
4. In Brazil, race does not matter and neither does age. I have had lovers
from 19 to 40 that never even asked how old I was. In American culture in
general and in the minds of Black American women in particular, I am robbing
the cradle if I want to be with a woman more than ten years younger than I
am. Young Brazilian women are much more mature than a Black American woman
twice their age.
At 59 years of age, as a Black American male, I have had tremendous
experience in dating and marriage to Black American women in my lifetime.
Before I got married I dated Black American women exclusively, so I know the
deal. When I found one that was interested in settling down and starting a
family, we did just that. After 25 years however, she decided to move on
after announcing that I was “Oversexed.” Now I more than realize that each
woman is different but my experience was repeated over and over in my circle
of friends.
