Reality: There is no credible evidence that the sexual potency of African American men is any greater than any other group of men. What has been described as hypersexuality by some researchers is simply a different pattern of sexual expression.

Myth: African American men and women do not perform oral sex.

Reality: By comparison, a higher percentage of White Americans engage in oral sex than do African Americans. However, depending on social class, the percentage of African Americans who perform oral sex ranges from 60 to 80 percent. This suggests that African Americans do perform and enjoy oral sex.

Myth: African American men are "users" of women and are not concerned with their partner's sexual pleasure.

Reality: Some men may not be concerned with their partner's pleasure, but in one study, almost three-quarters of the men surveyed said they tried to delay orgasm as long as possible until their partner had an orgasm or seemed satisfied.
