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.

Transformation
The Admiration of Lovers
Click HERE to listen |
There was that moment of recognition, that split second when I first laid eyes on you that I knew you were the one. Every fiber of my being, every cell in my body recognized you as my other half. I was enveloped with a peace that passeth understanding and love so deep, so profound that I knew my reality had been shifted forever. Never more could I be satisfied with the mundane and the average.
You moved slowly and deliberately, arousing me with your mere presence. Your hugs would cause my knees to weaken and the gentle touch of your fingertips to the nape of my neck would elicit intense sensations of pleasure. Your seduction of me was complete, stimulating my mind with your knowledge, my soul with your insight and my body with your slow and calculated caresses. Your kisses, oh your sweet kisses, such ecstasy and intoxication I’ve never known.
I close my eyes to receive your kiss and I float freely in a realm of bliss. Your soft tongue licks and your tender lips envelope mine and I respond in kind, letting my mouth express my passion and desire. Your hands explore my body with such tender and intentional strokes. I feel my temperature rise and my body begin to ache for you to complete me. Lover, come unto me, join with me so that we might fulfill our destinies and become one.
Come lover; lie all night between my legs. Lay your weary head on me and let me provide shelter for you from the stresses of the day. I will be your refuge and your respite. Come lover; lay your weight upon me. Feel out bodies crushed together; see our limbs intertwined, a beautiful embrace where you have no ending and I no beginning. We are the alpha and the omega made manifest as one. We are yin and yang, created perfectly to give one another balance and completion. Oh dear lover, fill your hands with the fullness of my hips, grip them as tightly as you would a security blanket in the dead of night when you are awakened from your peaceful slumber by a nightmare. I will protect you; I will shelter you always with my love. I know that ours is a love created in the stars and birthed in grace. Come lover; let my legs surround you, pulling you closer as we prepare to journey to a holy union of body, mind and soul. Let me feed you with my words of support and encouragement; let me bathe you with my kisses softly on your skin. Let us possess each other so that your breath becomes my life force, my heartbeat becomes your rhythmic pulse, our vibrations rise together until we become one.
Deep inside me is the place where you belong. I will be your shelter from the storm, the comfort you need when you are weary. Allow me to envelope you, embrace you within my sacred space. Penetrate me and join with me as we become one. I have found you, you whom my soul has loved from the beginning of time. I will hold you deep inside me and I will not let you go. I will invite you into the space that will soothe you and protect you. This space will be the beacon in the night and I will bathe you with sweet surrender. Inside me is where you and I cease to exist and we are transformed into a complete entity in and of itself. No one else shall enter this space from now on; it belongs to you and you alone. You have the key to my heart and my body. You are the key that fits me perfectly and you have unlocked my desire. I crave you inside me. Home, where you know you are loved. Home, where you are safe from harm. The room where you plant your seed will be all you need to wash away your doubts and fears. Climb the stairs and lay your burdens down as I welcome you home.
A love that God has ordained cannot be destroyed or separated. Love is the ultimate truth and universal love cannot be broken. You’ve come home to me, to us, because our energy is far greater together than apart. You will not find another that will hold you through the night and anticipate your needs like I will. No one else will fuel your passions and satisfy them so completely. It’s not vanity that makes me speak these words. It’s the recognition that we are the sum of two parts that together make a whole. United we are stronger, together we can accomplish any task. You are my King and I live to serve you, to exalt you as divinely capable, strong, and wise. I know that I reign supremely as your queen; not your servant or your maid but as your partner and your equal. We have put aside those notions of subservience and domination and we have defined anew how we will command authority as a couple.
I love you. I love you from the depths of my soul and I place that love upon a pedestal to be honored and cherished. I love those deep expressive eyes that undress me from across the room. I love your stubborn demeanor that yields to reason. I love all of you, flaws and imperfections, strengths and talents too. You promised me a lifetime ago that one day we would join together to become one, to fulfill our destinies and you’ve fulfilled your promise. This love is greater than I’ve ever known. This love is stronger than my mind could conceive and it fills me with a peace that transcends time and space.

I Have a Dream
"It is necessary to understand that Black Power is a cry of disappointment. The Black Power slogan did not spring full grown from the head of some philosophical Zeus. It was born from the wounds of despair and disappointment. It is a cry of daily hurt and persistent pain."
Martin Luther King, Jr., Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?, 1967.
"When we ask Negroes to abide by the law, let us also declare that the white man does not abide by the law in the ghettos. Day in and day out he violates welfare laws to deprive the poor of their meager allotments; he flagrantly violates building codes and regulations; his police make a mockery of law; he violates laws on equal employment and education and the provisions of civil services. The slums are the handiwork of a vicious system of the white society; Negroes live in them, but they do not make them, any more than a prisoner makes a prison."
Martin Luther King, Jr., The Trumpet of Conscience, 1967.

Worship (Part 3)
I leaned in closer and whispered more softly, “Louder bitch, let everyone know you are a sinner, tell them that you accept Black Jesus as your personal lord and savior, that you know he bled and died on the cross for your filthy, nasty sins. Don’t you want to be washed in the blood of Holy Black Jesus?” Tears streamed down his face, his knees ached, rage consumed him. The congregation clapped, praised God, and cheered for his salvation. The Pastor prayed, his righteous words punctuated with the staccato of the organ. They passed the collection plate and whispered softly, “Every penny of it, Steven, I want you to put every single dollar in that collection plate.” His hands trembled as he reached for the envelope in his back jeans pocket and he placed it on the pile of fives, tens, and twenties in the red-velvet-lined brass plate. He closed his eyes and begged God for forgiveness, to absolve him of his sins, to release him the sexual sickness that consumed him, that prevented him from forming any sort of real, substantial relationship. He prayed to be normal. As much as he pretended to be happy as a freak, he deeply wanted to be loved, accepted, and respected by a woman who would love him for something other than his money. It had been more than 30 years that he had even allowed himself to think such thoughts. He prayed to the image of a Black man, on his knees, worshipping him, feeling truly worthless and inferior. When he opened his eyes, I was gone.
