Myth: African American women don't enjoy sex; they just respond. Reality: African American women are no more likely to not enjoy sex than any other group of women. The origin of this myth most likely dates back to the days of slavery when servants were often forced to perform sex on demand. Since these experiences were violent and demeaning, many African American women were encouraged to believe that sex was not a pleasurable or satisfying experience. Today, many African American women have rejected the outdated notions that "good girls" don't enjoy sex, and other traditional taboos associated with oral sex.
