Abstract: Music has historically and culturally served as a tool for Black men to express themselves and tell their stories. Further, music is an integral part of Black culture that provides unique insight into Black men's ideal sexualities, sexual practices, and their conceptualizations of sex. Thus, this content analysis analyzed the lyrics of Black men's favorite sex songs from a strength-based, sex-positive perspective to better conceptualize Black men's sexualities and sexual practices. One hundred six men answered the short-form survey question, "What is your favorite sex song?" Analysis of the song content determined Black men's favorite sex songs were focused on mutual (29%) and their partner's pleasure (28%). Black men's favorite sex songs focused on attentiveness and admiration of partner, fulfilling fantasy, lust and yearning, vocal affirmation and reassurance, risky sex, and desire for intimacy. These findings suggest Black men desire reciprocity, intimacy, and vulnerability during sex.

Abstract: Exploring southern Black women's sexual messaging is important for appropriately contextualizing their sexual experiences. This study advances the literature on southern Black women's sexuality by analyzing the valence, content, and sources of sexual messages using #HotGirlScience. Twenty-five Black women's semi-structured interview responses were analyzed using thematic analysis. Thirteen women reported mixed messages, followed by positive messages ( n = 10) and negative messages ( n = 2). Seven major content themes were constructed: 1) sex is taboo, 2) sex is painful, harmful, and/or violent for Black women, 3) sex prioritizes male partner's pleasure, 4) consent and safety, 5) agency and sexual pleasure, 6) pleasure expansiveness, and 7) sexual communication.
