BBC

The “BBC”-term can be found on Usenet forums in the 1990s, especially in reference to white
women or white gay men being the counterpart and the acronym spread during the early 2000s
as internet becomes more common and pornography more accessible (Cuckold Club, 2021). It is believed that the term “BBC” was invented by White people as black people tend to use the word
“dick” and not “cock” when referring to the male genitalia (Street, 2017). Culturally, the “BBC”
can be considered both problematic and with a positive connotation because it is a masculine
fetishization of a large penis as a sign of sexual and social power. It is deeply rooted in racist
fears of black men being hypersexual, violent, animalistic, and cartoonishly well-endowed
sexual predators, sometimes also portrayed as out to **** White women (Cuckold Club, 2021).
On the positive side, it is commonly a sign of masculinity and potency in today’s society which
could be a reason as to why men in general don’t see the stereotype as problematic but rather as
an asset tied to their identity (Butler, 2022).
In theory, interracial porn should refer to sex between people of different races - but in
reality it doesn’t. The term “interracial”, within modern pornography, has a much different
connotation where the term denotes Black and White and refers mostly to Black men/White
women action (Snow, 2017).
