Introduce me to the interracial fetish

[NoCa]

I am very nearly done with my first series here on Literotica and am pretty happy with how it turned out. Since my work here is entirely focused on experimentation, I am thinking on what I should try on next. I was considering a father-daughter story but I not one hundred per cent sure.

I was considering trying something a little different and outside my comfort zone, something interracial. I would like it to take place in the US but I am not American (let alone African-American), so I was hoping my fellow authors could recommend me a few examples of interracial smut done right, maybe tell me what the pitfalls are, what I should pay attention to and what I should avoid. Keep in mind, emotional depth and hotness are my sole true priorities.

Can you help? Thank you up front

There are two paths to that...
You can write all the tropes and put it in interracial.

Or you can just write a normal story and if it so happens that the MCs are of different ethnic backgrounds, so be it. Then put it in Romance, EC or what ever category it "fits" best in.
Here in the US at least there aren't the kind of cultural differences between black and white that make good fodder in typical stories about people of different ethnic backgrounds. Like a man dating a woman who has very traditional Chinese parents for example.

Which route you are going is going to drive the kind of advice you might need/want.

I’m familiar with the second route mentioned above, I’ve written a few stories featuring it. I generally don’t call out people’s races in anything but physical descriptions, though. Maybe because I’m American and haven’t ever really been around another culture enough to be attracted or repulsed by it. Plus I want different cultures to get along in an ideal environment, and that means I don’t want to fetishize them.

I don’t really post in IR as I am uncomfortable with melanin levels being festishized. But A Belated Christmas Gift features a black male protagonist and a white female protagonist written in a way that their ethnicities are at most tangentially relavant. That tends to be my model for IR.

First of all, congratulations on winding up your first effort, always a sweet feeling.

And I like your stance on experimentation.

Others can chime in, but from what I can see the Interracial category means that the tension between races, and cultures, is the unifying theme of the category. This tension varies enormously across regions and nation states. Lighter skin/darker skin variances tend to be huge factors in the US (and plenty other parts of the world) but not always that big a deal elsewhere.

If you've got something going already, go ahead and run with it. Depending on where you end up, you can choose an appropriate category later. My best suggestion, if IR is something of interest, is just to read widely there, get a sense of what works (for you and the readership) and get your impressions settled in.

Good luck.

I LOVE that a non-American perceives this as a uniquely American fetish.

Tropes have their merits, but I was thinking of doing something a little different. The idea taking shape in my head is of a nerdy black kid (19) and a menace of a white girl (23). He should be kind, smart, and a little shy; she should be abrasive and volatile. I was considering making them step-siblings. Force proximity and all that.

Well, I don't think this is a uniquely American fetish. I simply don't think the story I have in mind could take place in my country, which is very homogeneous (unfortunately). The United States are the only truly ethnically varied country I have some familiarity with, both because I lived there for a time and because African-American culture is at least somewhat familiar to those of my generation. I happen to find black women extraordinarily gorgeous, and precisely because of that, I would avoid a story with a white man as the MC and make an effort to write a black protagonist.

Then my advice would be don't write it as "Interracial" write it as an IT story where they just happen to be ethnically different. You would get a lot more views placing it in IT, but you would likely get hammered if you lean to much into the Interracial aspect of it.

Mmm, that may be a good call. Although I am trying to do this exactly because I want to try and see if I can do this right.

The main character in my Community Pool anthology series is African-American. Her birth mother and father were both black, but she was orphaned and her adoptive mother is white and her adoptive father black. To be honest this was me giving myself an out for writing poorly from a black woman’s point of view (I’m not black). Beyond occasional references to hair and skin color, her ethnicity is irrelevant to the stories. She has both Hispanic and Caucasian partners at different points (she’s a lesbian).

I also wrote a female narrator who was Indian by ethnicity, but second generation and so I could write her as mostly a ‘generic’ American woman with a few ethnic touches.

While I like to have a diverse cast of players - reflecting real life - I don’t fetishize their ethnicities. I think it would be a challenge to write the point of view of a person of color who is a first generation immigrant’s as I have no reference for their experience or culture. At the very least, it would require a lot of research.

 

[MillieDynamite]

I have an unpublished Interracial romance based on something in my father's past, but it goes a different route than it did in reality. I'm not sure which category I'll put it in when and if I publish it here, because it is set in the 1970s, and it certainly wasn't the norm for the time. But it is a white man and a black woman, so the BBC trope isn't in the story. In fact, I doubt it has any standard IR tropes other than the difficulty of such a relationship in such a time.

EDIT: (my adoptive father's past)

EDIT: took out the redundancy in the last sentence.

Gato suggested I help, so here's my advice. I've tried to do my best to break the molds when it comes to IR stories, so if you're looking for something that does that, you can check out my three series. There's plenty of interracial sex in both and I think I've done a pretty good job to avoiding the extremes that sometimes are present in this genre.

That's the biggest issue with IR. All too often the characters are stereotypes and the stories are too formulaic. Black thug meets white MILF, breaks her to his will, and she becomes his willing plaything, e.g. You'll see hundreds of those types of stories in IR, the only variation being the age of the female character and the name of the Black character (Tyrone and Marcus seem to be the most common). Throw in a boyfriend or husband getting cucked, and I'd say this is the standard IR trope.

I would avoid that if you're going for something that's not your standard trope.

The other thing you see constantly is massive Black guys with huge cocks that women are apparently mesmerized by, and there's never any downside to it, which is about as realistic as a Marvel comic. I would avoid that as well. I say that having not avoided it at all in my own writing, but I've done my best to make that stuff believable in my series - there's a character, for example, who is very well endowed who thinks he's deformed because of it and that's a huge part of his character arc.

I would try to avoid anything like that if you're going for realism or the dick size isn't part of the kink of the story. For some it is, of course.

White/Asian is also a common theme, and the tropes there vary a bit more. There's the typical white male wants Asian female stuff, and then there's plenty of the reverse as well.

Generally speaking, I'd try to avoid stereotypes as much as possible.

Now, for recommendations, besides my stuff, I think TheRedLantern has written some amazing Asian IR stuff. Check it out if you want to see something different than the standard.

As for your specific story, I think a nerd Black teen meeting an older wild White girl would make a great start and you probably wouldn't fall to far into the stereotype territory. The racial mix should be fine if you want to put it into IR, and there's plenty of plot development possible depending on where and when you set the story.

I hope this helps.

In College Blowbang Competition (one of my most subtle titles) I had a faculty member join in the fun. He was called Professor Zhou, and an example of the much underrepresented Big Asian Cock fraternity . There was also a very sweet black college guy involved, who was just a little larger than average.

I also wrote a 750 word Big Indian Cock story. I don’t think I’ve ever written a black guy as being much more than regular sized.

Great minds, and all that:

The second towel slipped to the floor, revealing for the first time his heavy, pulsing meat. It wasn't the largest she'd ever handled -- Vietnam supplied that memory, surprisingly -- but it was just what her body was yearning for right now.

[Five_Inch_Heels]

Remember, it isn't quite as black and white as it seems.

Asian women have a thing for white men for example.

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

I was toying around with a Mom and/or Aunt going off to be the entertainment at a black club or maybe even whorehouse. Never really go it written though, but it still swirls in my head from time to time.

 

[BobbyBrandt]

I have one story here where the blooming romance between a young couple eventually reveals that the man is white and the woman is mixed-race (Black/white). The different race aspect is hinted at being the reason why she suspects his father isn't accepting of her, but it turns out to be entirely her misconception. The interracial dynamics never play into their sexual relationship.

In a subsequent story in the same universe as the first, I have an interracial couple from South Africa on vacation in the U.S. purposely for him to demonstrate to her that their relationship would face fewer challenges within American society than it would in their home country. They eventually marry, but again, their races play no role in their sexual relationship.

I also have a story where a husband begins to suspect that his white wife may be cheating based upon circumstances involving a black coworker. No one is shocked when she eventually delivers a mixed race baby because it turns out her husband is also black and he is the true father of the child.

In a story that I hope to be publishing soon, the interracial aspects of the sexual relationships do play a part, but only peripherally for the main characters. Some of the wife's coworkers are trying to convince her to try out a "black bull" and her husband fights back to prevent it from happening.

My point of all this is, that mixed race or interracial relationships can take many forms within stories here. In the interracial category itself, the usual kink focus seems to be on the taboo aspects of the sexual relationship.

(Blushing), Thank you.

(Giggling), You are so very welcome.

 

[Djmac1031]

My advice?

Write a story about two people of different ethnicity/ skin color coming together despite the obstacles of their different respective cultures / upbringing.

Save all that nonsense about white women cucking their husband with a "big black bull" for The Klan Incel Digest.

I do tend to have interacial couples/fuck buddies, etc, but unless I was intending it to go into Interacial, I don't see a need to play up the differences, culture, etc.
