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.

Seeking Vibrational Balance


I’m looking for connection with men who are my equals: mentally, spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially, and sexually.

Mentally – You despise the N word, carry yourself with integrity, character, and grace, actively seek to continually free yourself from the mental chains of slavery. You accept that you still have healing to do, hate commercial radio, TV, and movies, be voluntarily simplistic, environmentally conscious, have an abhorrence of corporate America, non-materialistic, extremely liberal political position, non-conformist, down-to-earth, family-centric, creative, artistic

Spiritually – You practice something other than Christianity, Islam, or Judaism, You practice metaphysical, Kemetic, or African based spirituality, meditate daily, seek harmony and balance with the universe, and are prayerful.

Intellectually – You are able to grasp complex intellectual concepts, logical, methodical, linear yet abstract, cerebral, able to see things from multiple perspectives, have a high IQ, are a seeker of knowledge, able to teach concepts to the masses in an easily digestible manner.
Physically – You are tall, active, fit, attractive, live off a plant-based diet, and respect holistic, natural cures over Western medicine

Emotionally – You have faced your inner demons, dealt with the issues that have hurt you, are introspective, emotionally mature, slow to anger, at peace, centered, calm, serene, rational, compassionate, considerate of other’s feelings, selfless, able to articulate your feelings, respectful of other’s feelings, and you are completely capable of giving and receiving unconditional love in a healthy manner.

Socially – You are a leader, enjoy jazz, live music, art, cultural events, appreciate good food and socializing with a variety of friends. Respect Black art, don’t watch much TV, concerned about lifting the consciousness of the Black community.

Sexually – You are openly bisexual and proud of it, capable of monogamy in a relationship, sex-positive and tolerant of everyone’s sexual preferences, sensual, romantic, tactile, and AfroerotiK.
If that sounds like you, I’d love to just converse.

I'm sorry, but I have got to laugh at that criteria. Really, its as if you think any man, any person really, is going to fit those criteria to the letter. I smacked my head when I read it.

I know you are all about the racial devide, but what I think you forgot here is that you are a woman regardless. This means (and you have shown) that you do not understand men very well. Don't worry, we don't understand you either.

To take a man and ask that he meet a criteria, or that he be a positive match for you, is like asking to find a needle in a rather large haystack. I will tell you right now you will not find a man like that. I have friends from all over the place, on the left and the right, white, black, asian, and work for a latino. You are better off creating a cloning process by which you can manipulate the thought process during incubation stage (and while you are advancing science hundreds of years, could you fix the whole "frictional resistance" problem with the internal combustion engine?).

I could go on and on now about the realities of finding a man like that, but I think you already know what I am going to say. So rather, I'd like to say something about what your criteria says about you.

"Physically – You are tall, active, fit, attractive, live off a plant-based diet, and respect holistic, natural cures over Western medicine"

First four are stereotypical woman's goals, but what raises eyebrows are the last 2. It says many things about you that you prefer plant based diets, many of which would turn a man away. Much research has shown red meat and protein builds brain tissue and helps in adding years to your life. Yet you've either ignored or never found such research, probably due to political views incompatible with reality. And the "natural" cures makes me roll my eyes. I've done aid work in many, many third world countries, many of which we've found people trying "natural" cures over actual science. Many of those people don't live to long afterwards. Of the few real cures that exist in nature, its commonplace that the materials used contain the same substances used in modern medicine (aspirin comes from?). Although expensive (mainly due to a terrible domestic American policy against more medical development), western cures do work leagues over the "natural" ones. Whats "natural" is debatable anyway, as much of what nature contains is similar to an anti-body against human consumption.

About the "Emotionally" side: I've read your posts and your stories for some time, and your emotional criteria lead me to believe that there is much inner turmoil in yourself. That you want "peace" in a man is almost as if you want him to have something you yourself haven't found. Somehow, I think that is the biggest challenge you face in finding a man: you yourself are not stable enough to deal with one.

And finally, drop the religious criteria. I can understand if you want someone to not be a radical, but seriously, take two of the worlds biggest religions and a significant third one and throw them out the door? Its not bad enough that all other criteria narrows it down to a sparse few men if any, now you toss out maybe 3 sevenths of the worlds population?

About the sexual criteria:

You'd be surprised how many men actually will fit that. I myself thought I would never be open to anything bisexual. In fact, I was once part of a group against gay rights and advances.

Great sex with a great woman led to one thing and then another, and then one night a sex club. A week later, same club, same woman, and a man there.

Its not to hard to get a man to go that route provided he has a loving woman pushing him forward. To this date I haven't met anyone that wouldn't, with the right recipe, meet your sexual criteria.

If I didn't believe that, btw, I probably wouldn't be here to begin with.

Scottie, This criteria is awesome. I had to print it. I don't care about the questions, the vibrational balance is on point. The more I read the more I love.
