This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

How's it any different from play involving any other physical attribute?

I can find size, masculinity, feet, smell, whatever sexy because of power dynamics or stimulation. I don’t understand stimulation from race, but power dynamics maybe? But that’s stretching my perspective. Do you engage in race play and are you willing to elucidate me?

You might find a better edification with your local kink community, though I'm just another random anon, so 🤷🏽‍♂️

I don't engage in raceplay to the extent I think would qualify as a kink but whenever my skin tone is brought up I respond in the same way that I do as any other physical feature of mine is brought up.

Seeing all the other replies talking about how others experience raceplay as an extension of the social and cultural context they live in is really surprising to me; that this gets left at the bedroom door. A comment on the colour of my skin has a similar effect on me as a comment on the colour of my eyes. When a partner finds that aspect of me particularly enticing I don't find it weird, racist or an engagement in some sort of power dynamic. Its just an easy out to make sex more enjoyable for both of us. Same as if someone was super into any other part of me. Damn right I'd leverage that innate sexual desire.

No one was ever forced to drink from a certain water fountain because of their nipples
