For example, the ability for Black women like me to prioritize sex may be impacted by how much time they spend commuting to and from work. Research suggests Black women have the <a href=\"https:\/\/news.uchicago.edu\/story\/aaas-2014-longer-commutes-disadvantage-african-american-workers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/news.uchicago.edu\/story\/aaas-2014-longer-commutes-disadvantage-african-american-workers\">longest commutes of everyone<\/a>, averaging eight minutes more per trip than their white counterparts.

My commute is 75 minutes each way, because I want to live in an area that is more racially diverse than the university town where I work. Although I don\u2019t mind the drive, during which I listen to audiobooks and music to decompress, these two-and-a-half hours could also be time for sexual intimacy, and it isn\u2019t a matter of priority.<\/p>\n<p>Since the average length of a sexual encounter is around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/0092623X.2022.2126417\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/0092623X.2022.2126417\">24 minutes<\/a>, the 16-minute commute time difference that Black women typically face could be the difference between sex and no sex that day.<\/p>\n<p>Even worse, due to racial biases, Black and Latinx women are often relegated to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthaffairs.org\/doi\/10.1377\/hlthaff.2021.01400\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.healthaffairs.org\/doi\/10.1377\/hlthaff.2021.01400\">lower-wage, higher-stress roles at work<\/a>, especially those in health care where over one in five Black women work. <a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jsm\/article-abstract\/13\/2\/153\/6940095\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jsm\/article-abstract\/13\/2\/153\/6940095\">Stress at work<\/a> contributes to lower sexual desire, and may make it even harder for some women to want to prioritize their sex lives.<\/p>\n<p>For Black and Latinx men, who are disproportionately excluded from employment, particularly high-wage jobs, the hip-hop expression \u201cBroke boys don\u2019t deserve no <em>kitty<\/em>\u201d echoes intersecting gendered, racist, and classist sentiments.

For sexual partners of men of the global majority, it can also constrict their ability to enthusiastically consent, as they may buy into the idea that men of color already have to deal with so much in the world, so they don\u2019t need added rejection at home. Obligatory sex is rarely good sex.<\/p>\n<h2>How to flip the (racist) script defining our sex lives<\/h2>\n<p>Despite these standing racial injustices, in a <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/13634607221101854?journalCode=sexa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1177\/13634607221101854?journalCode=sexa\">survey of nearly 500 Black people<\/a>, my colleagues and I found that they reported high sexual pleasure at the last sexual encounter. Our findings point to the resilience of PGM, but we should not have to over-rely on Black resilience when we could address the actual problem: all levels of racism and other forms of oppression.<\/p>\n<p>How we gauge good sex matters in this discussion. Some people conflate good sex with having an orgasm and pleasure. These are definitely components, but they\u2019re not the full story. Other people consider how often you have sex the ultimate criteria. Again, it can be one of them, but not the totality, because different people prefer more or less sex. Good sex is multifaceted, and each person should have agency to define it for themselves, as long as it&#8217;s consensual.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Eradicating racial inequity is as much a policy thing\u2014changing the guidelines, laws, and hidden practices that govern our behaviors\u2014as it is a human relations thing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>At the core, racial inequity (and sexism, classism, heterosexism, all the isms, really) complicates that agency of sexual self-definition. When the media, education systems, and political figures are working overtime to sexually define you, it can be hard to tune out the noise and define yourself. It also exacerbates the consequences of not-so-good sex (painful, unpleasurable, or obligatory sex that often reduces sexual desire). That is, when you can\u2019t define good sex for yourself, then it\u2019s hard to communicate what it is to your partners.<\/p>\n<p>Eradicating racial inequity is as much a policy thing\u2014changing the guidelines, laws, and hidden practices that govern our behaviors\u2014as it is a human-relations thing. As an advocate of sexual liberation <em>and<\/em> income equality, you can ask about how pay increase decisions are made at your work. You can attend city-council meetings or read minutes to understand how neighborhoods in your city may be racially organized. But, you can also begin with examining the stereotypes you hold about PGM, even if you are one. Do you buy into myths about penis size or sexual prowess? Were you raised with the idea that people who rely on the state or government for their housing or food should not be allowed to enjoy sex or pleasure?<\/p>\n<p>Our answers to these questions influence the judgments we make about ourselves and others, and all of us suffer sexually\u2014albeit in different ways\u2014under the racist scripts we were socialized in. PGM, like all humans, are worthy of good sex. So much of our work in modern liberation movements have addressed these structures I\u2019ve named, and seeing how they impact our sex lives is another avenue of intervention. My work is to ensure my research considers the full picture, so that when PGM seek support to enrich their sex lives, practitioners really understand what they\u2019re up against. Prioritizing sex is important, and advocating for racial equity is just as sex positive as celebrating body acceptance and kinkiness.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1675549\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re having challenges with sex, there are lots of resources that may help: Magazines and books highlight how to enhance your sexual skills.
