Not even close.

I work out 5 days a week. I'm a man so I will let someone else answer that. It's quite complicated.

Black woman here. I work out regularly. I wear my hair "natural", and wet/condition it every day. I only use shampoo once or twice a week. But black women who wear their hair relaxed may have a different routine. Some black women don't work out or swim very often specifically because they don't want to deal with the hair impact. Most of the black women I see at my gym have either natural hair or wigs.

I'm also natural, I wash my hair 5 days a week and deep condition it once a week.

I'm a black woman who relaxes her hair. When I work out, my hair gets damp, but not wet. It also doesn't smell when it dries (due to moisturizers, etc in my hair). Working out does present a challenge though because you can easily sweat your perm out.

I don't tend to stare downward in the locker room. What do you think? I thought women of all races preferred larger penises. At least thats what I've heard. Again, what do you think?

I'm a black woman and will help the OP out. I've been with about a dozen men. All but one was black (and he was mixed). All were over 7"; one was easily 10" and super thick. All were pretty good in bed. My husband is 7.5".

PP here, thanks for the response. How did your parents talk about it in the 70s? What sorts of things will you tell your son?

Who did you look up to growing up? What did you think about the MLK statue inscription debacle?

[Anonymous]

Honestly, I looked up to my dad. He grew up dirt poor in the deep south and ended up with a doctorate and retired as a college dean. The MLK inscription debacle was an honest mistake.

Did (or do) you have sex outside of your race? Mixed woman here, and I find that most black men fantasize with being with a white woman.

In terms of race (which you are referring to), my dad grew up in the deep south (40s-50s) and had lots of stories to tell. Most of them weren't good. I don't have those experiences so I am still working on how to talk to him. Got a few years to figure it out.

No offense OP, but the thread would have been better if you were a female...

OP here. I'm not the only one authorized to answer questions. The ladies are holding their own on the hair and penis questions.

Black female here. Feel free to ask "female" questions. I will answer (and maybe others will chime in too).

Aren't black babies generally larger than babies of other races, too--not talking about the peen here ppl!?

Very interesting. Most 8+ pound babies that I've heard/know of have been white. Of the black babies I know they all fall in the 6.5-7.5 range. My own children fell in the 6.5-7.5 range.
