They say it's because Asian people used to migrate through deserts and encountered a great deal of sandstorms. The shape of their eyes helped in preventing sand from getting into them.

Black men do have larger penises than other races, with whites being the next largest and Asians being the smallest. I have sexually been with both extremes; a black man (who I already stated as being the largest), and Asian men (who were the smallest). My experiences were better with the Asian men, because their techinques were better --they were more interested in doing oral, etc. I am also a very short woman standing at 5'2, so 'smaller' actually feels better for me -- too big hurts, and I can't feel the 'motion' as well. I have heard though that size does matter to some women, which is why many black men (particularly lower-class ones) think they are the hottest men for having larger penis sizes. I myself though could care less about how endowed a man is; I care more about how he makes love and what not.

Racewise, though, some groups may have more sweat glands than others. For instance I have definitely noticed black and whites have more of a 'sweaty' smell then Asians, who seem to have more of a 'foody' smell. It is easier for an outsider to detect the smell of another race. For instance as a black person, I feel white people have a very unique smell. Obviously other minorites seem to agree with me, with the starting caption on this forum being 'Why do White People Smell Like Wet Dogs When they Come out of the Rain?' This may be another reason why you feel blacks have such a strong odor.

Not only do they push their religion in everyone's throat, but they are annoying to unorthodox Christians (such as myself) who may have different philosophical views towards their faith. Why Christians do this has to do with the basis of their religion; the Bible says that Jesus is the 'way the truth and the light' it is only through Him you can attain salvation. For this reason, you must actively 'mission' to others and reveal the Good News to nonbelievers. Christianity is not a religion that allows room for intepretation when it comes to the belief in Jesus. In fact different Christian sects may still argue with one another because of this fact (for instance Protestants not agreeing with Catholics). Christians believe that is the faith alone in Jesus that determines salvation. Technically, you could be as Adolf Hitler and kill millions of people, but if you at some point profess true faith in Christ you will go to heaven. On the reverse side, you could be a Buddhist monk who is like an angel among humans -- you could perform good works for others, self-sacrifice, and etc. But becuase you don't believe in Christ as God, you will go to hell. Christians do indeed know these contraditions, but because 'the Bible says' Christ is God, they MUST adhere and others must to. But please don't get the impression that all Christians act in this manner. There are many of us who are more 'liberal' (such as myself). Christians such as this will still voice their opinion on their faith (I for example will tell people why I believe God and Christ are real), but are very open-minded in accepting other faiths. I don't discriminate even among atheists. I mean, atheism does make me feel a little uncomfortable, because I feel the idea of God existing seems so obvious (especially with how complex the world is), but since I realize that God can not officially be proven, I know that I may not have the right 'answer'. If atheism seems to be an appropriate choice for a person, then it's really none of my business. I am the type that feels religion is one's own journey, and God (or whatever type of divinity you believe in) will guide you to what is best for you.

This may sound barbarian, but it is still true even today. Men will play with 'slutty' women, but when it comes down to settling down, they want the untouched woman. The problem though is you may not realize that you are actually a prize among men until you leave college. Why? Because college men are not thinking about marriage; they want to have fun and party. A woman who is a virgin may be considered to hard to get for his sexual tastes. So he may go over to a sluttier girl and ask her out. He does not really want this type of girl; after he has sex with her, he will toss her like a piece of garbage and go to the next girl. But when it comes time after college to settle down guess who he will prefer? You, a virgin. In conclusion, the wrong type of man may be intimidated by your virginity, but the right man will love it, and will WANT to wait for you. It is indeed not wrong to be a virgin, no matter what others say. Not only are you eliminating your risk for STDs and pregnancy, but you are also ensuring your first time will be more special. As a gal with sexual experience, nothing will compare to the first time. One more thing to keep in mind the next time you feel 'guilty' about being a virgin. How many porn stars, Playboy models, etc. have husbands? Very few. How many average-looking more 'virtuous' church women have husbands? Quite a few.

In some countries, a 13-year-old girl could be considered a grown woman - or at least grown enough to marry and have kids. In these kinds of societies, adulthood is determined by biology, whether a person can produce offspring or not. In some ways I wish American culture was like this, becuase teen girls who have sex (such as the example you gave) are not being taught responsibility for their own doings. A 15-year-old girl or even a 13-year-old girl knows what they are doing when they are having sex. Of course there are situations of statutory rape, but many situations are not like that, even if the guy was older. Most men, even older ones, are not rapists, and always assuming it's the guy's fault when a young girl gives away her virginity continually releases the responsibility from her own hands.

Or because you're white? Or because you're middle class and not rich? You wouldn't like it at all, and a disabled person doesn't like to be made fun of, either. It is wrong and insensitive to make fun of differences that people cannot help. And anyone who would do such a thing is showing cowardly behavior, because they know the disabled person is weak and unable to verbally or physically fight back. My brother (who has mental retardation and cerebral palsy) has had to deal with bullies like that; people who would pick fights with him or push him down on the floor because he's disabled. When we go out, people are always staring - some may even comment, calling him 'dumb' or whatever. And what did my brother do to them? Absolutely nothing. The bottom line is a person should treat another person with respect. A person with disabilities should have the same opportunities as a person without, and they shouldn't have to undergo harrassment because nature made them different. Doing anything otherwise would be barbaric and uncivilized.

I mean, in a man's mind, if you have the right womanly parts, and you meet his image of what he considers attractive, then he's going to be turned on bottom line. Racial stereotypes can make this type of sexual attraction and curiosity worse. Asian women for instance are perceived as being docile, exotic, and submissive. This is why white men lust after them, and they are so common in porn. The Asian women (as any woman) take advantage of this lust for money and fame. And since Asian culture appears to be more obsessed with being accepted by whites than other groups, this may further encourage them to denigrate themselves and their race. And lastly to address why Asian men are not with their own women in the porn. The reason is simple -- Asian men are not viewed as being sexual in this society. And porn (like any other form of media) is regulated by stereotypes. If the porn creators think that white and black men fit the bill for what is considered sexy and masculine, then that's what they're going to have.

I was not insinuating that because Japanese are propserous and more academic that they are 'acting white,' for economic success and academia have nothing to do with that (although for some reason in the black world these elements are associated with 'being white.') What I was saying is that in their media they have their characters look white, EVEN if the characters are supposed to be Japanese. I mean, if Japanese people had blond hair, white skin, big breasts and round eyes of varying colors like Caucasians, there wouldn't be an issue. They don't naturally, so it looks as if they are 'sellouts' when almost all of their media portray these white images. In addition, although there are some Japanese who aren't racist (I have met some), you can see from their media that when they do have a 'black' character, it usually takes the same stereotypical view that white media over here has of them. And I do not want to be perceived by foreigners (of any race or culture) that just because I'm black I'm automatically associated with the hip-hop culture, because I am not.

Why? Because religion is more complex than just simply the worship of God. It is also a form of cultural expression that integrates society and history in its constructs; it is based more on opinion than facts. If you ask a Christian, for example, why he or she believes Christ is God (a belief that some religious groups cannot accept fully), he or she will tell you it's because of 'faith,' or simply an overwhelming 'feeling' that tells them this is true. Buddhists, Jews, Muslims or those of other types of religions also have this same type of faith in believing their religion is the best one. And because faith has no factual or scientific basis, you really don't know which one is right. With that being said, what religion should you choose? To me, it doesn't matter. God has not really made it crystal clear what path is appropriate for salvation. Many would argue with me (especially Christians because that's what I am) and use as an argument their 'faith', and reference to their holy books (which usually are archaic writings that reflect society in earlier days) to say their religion is a must for heaven. And, although some actual history can be found in these books, the other elements of religion contained in them can not be proven by today's scientific logic, unless one has the ability to go back in time. One example of this is Jesus Christ. Historians accept him as a historical figure, but many (unless they are Christian) do not accept him as divine. Christians believe he is divinity because of 'faith' and also the miracles He did in the Bible, but can these miracles be scientifically or even historically proven? At the present moment, no. So where is there proof that Christianity is right? There is none. This example (with probably tons of others that can be found in various religions) is why I think God does not really care. Religion is just a method of worshipping Him; there is freedom to choose which one you want. In conclusion, choose the religion that is best suited for you, if you must have a religion. Some people worship God but don't follow an organized religion. This means they don't go to a church or do religious rituals, but they do strive to do good and worship God as they see fit. What matters is what is in your heart.

If my clitoris is stimulated, the sensation is stronger. If I am not aroused, however, there is little if any feeling it causes -- it just feels like a foreign object in there.

However, from what I've read on the subject, geishas were entertainers, equivalent to what an actress is today. I mean, although it was an expression of Japanese culture, I don't think it was race-based at all. However, keeping in mind present racism that may be apparent in the Japanese culture (accepting whites fully but rejecting blacks), it is possible that a white woman that tries to be a geisha is accepted more than a black woman that does the same thing. But then again, it may be viewed as a form of mockery. But, as I said before I'm not Japanese, so this is all my opinion.

So I think it is more of a matter of black expression and American black culture. I mean which gets more attention, Rachel, or Latisha? The latter sounds more as you say exotic and ethnic. And black men also have 'different' names, it's just that they are not quite as 'exotic' sounding as the black women's names. Jabari, Jerome, Jamal, and others are names that are common to black men but rare to whites.

And unfortunately, people do have their stereotypes. Unless somebody knows that a person is gay, they may ask, 'Do you have a boyfriend or do you have a girlfriend?' Our society at the moment is not 'open' enough to ask, 'Do you have a partner?' It must be frustrating, but the best thing to do is try to not let it bother you and let them know up front.

Why? It is because in those cultures, a woman must get a husband to survive. I mean, since she can't work, she must have a husband to support her. And to them, a woman is undesirable if she is not a virgin before she's married. So the female circumcision supposedly eliminates the woman's desires thus keeping her a virgin until marriage. It also helps to ensure that she doesn't have an affair with another man. And yes, the practice is still done today, unfortunately. However, the issue is starting to come to light to humanitarian groups, and thus trying to be stopped. Also, some areas of those countries that are more Westernized and urban do not encourage the practice.
