AfroerotiK

Erotic provocateur, racially-influenced humanist, relentless champion for the oppressed, and facilitator for social change, Scottie Lowe is the brain child, creative genius and the blood, sweat, and tears behind AfroerotiK. Intended to be part academic, part educational, and part sensual, she, yes SHE gave birth to the website to provide people of African descent a place to escape the narrow-mined, stereotypical, limiting and oft-times degrading beliefs that abound about our sexuality. No, not all Black men are driven by lust by white flesh or to create babies and walk away. No, not all Black women are promiscuous welfare queens. And as hard as it may be to believe, no, not all gay Black men are feminine, down low, or HIV positive. Scottie is putting everything on the table to discuss, debate, and dismantle stereotypes in a healthy exchange of ideas. She hopes to provide a more holistic, informed, and enlightened discussion of Black sexuality and dreams of helping couples be more open, honest, and adventurous in their relationships.

AfroerotiK is . . . . Redefining Black Manhood

AfroerotiK is . . . is a show that examines black sexuality and that provides insight and alternatives to individuals seeking healthy erotic expression. It highlights the beauty and sensuality of African Americans without being vulgar and stereotypical and it provides a fresh perspective from which to examine the issues that shape the perceptions of Black sexuality. It’s a show for everyone that will challenge myths, destroy clichés, and set the foundation for intense erotic exploration. AfroerotiK is features debates, discussions, interviews, and steamy erotic readings to stimulate and arouse.

This month, we are exploring REDEFINING BLACK MANHOOD. It’s a hard-hitting, no holds barred discussion that sheds light on a much-maligned topic. It’s essential listening for women who feel like they can’t find a good man and men who are tired of being narrowly defined. It’s for anyone open to conversation about shifting the behaviors that are keeping black relationships in danger.

Take a listen and experience for yourself.

Scottie, you have an unbelievalbe site. I look foward to listening to your podcasts. I just have to tell you that the podcast on Redefining Black Manhood was provacative, to say the least. You touched on so many issues that I don't know where to begin. I have listened to it twice,and I plan to listen to it more. Please keep up the great work. I think you sold yourself short on how people would react to it, and I would love to hear about the feedback from this podcast. In your comments you stated that black men are emotionallly immature. As a black man, I can admit to that. I do want to be able to address this issue of emotional immaturity. How would you suggest I address this? Keep up the great work. I look foward to following your work. Continued success

Lady Lowe,
I too would like to address this issue of emotional immaturity. Even though I was brought up in a house where the traditional laws were set in stone, I can only feel thwarted by the fact that emotions are the hardest things for me to show. the simplest thing, such as discussing what and how I feel, are like walking on glass and hot coals.

It's really messed up on how masculinity will destory a man. Yet being feminine is not any better. how do we, as men, cope with the balance? When is ok for a man to cry? to feel weak? to feel lonely? I can only answer those questions in one answer that has been passed down from one genenration of man to the next: NEVER! This was the answer taught to me by my father, my grandfather, and his father before him, and so on and so forth. We are to be as hard I steel...to the observing world, that is. But inside, we are softer than silk.
