Is there a particular reason why glasses are sexy on most people who wear them? We must admit that these days, the men and women who spot glasses make them appear hot. It is like glasses usually give someone an upgrade from what they actually look like. If you think that glasses are a no-no, you need to think again. If you think the geeky, intelligent look is a no for you, it has become the look of choice that has been trending.

Read on as we examine this strange, yet hot look…

What makes glasses make people look hot?

One of the things that come to the top of my head is that Harry Potter made glasses cool. Have glasses become one of the most common fetishes? Whatever the idea behind it doesn’t really matter. All that matters is that these days we see celebrities and the hottest people with glasses.

Now we all have a type. So, if your type is the ‘Harry Potter’ type, who are we to judge. One thing most people who end up falling for men and women who wear glasses will tell you that it is not that they go actively looking for someone who wears glasses.

That said though, whether it is the sunglasses or reading glasses, most people are spotting the look because they think glasses are sexy. You might find even those with no underlying eye issues wearing them just so that they can also be in the glasses wave.

So, what really makes people look handsome in glasses and magnetically beautiful in glasses? Let’s take a look.

The Superman look

Here I am sure most ladies and guys alike will agree with me on this one. The dude wears those glasses perfectly. Ken Clark really pulled off the glasses look. Plus, what made it even better is how the dude used to bravely run into danger and rescuing people. Then there was the added hotness that is enhanced whenever he rips off his clothes. Need I continue to explain why people look handsome in glasses after that ripping off of clothes ?

To add on to this superhero look, we cannot forget Peter Parker/Spiderman. Do they save the world better in glasses? May be glasses are the best villain detectors. As the steps on his skateboard, one thing we can agree on is that Spiderman is one of the hottest people with glasses.

Glasses make people look intelligent. Intelligent is sexy

Most women are drawn to men who look like they are smooth, sexy geniuses. Like it or not, glasses, especially the shapes that are trending these days make everybody look more intelligent. The thing smart is sexy. Ask any woman, they will attest to this.

Glasses and books just go together

Apparently, people who love books are the best lovers. Well, it makes a lot of sense as they would probably research about various moves to lure a man or woman. The thing is, bookworms try to find ways to please a man or woman. Then have you ever been given that ‘I know you have been watching me’ look by someone who was gazing at a book then suddenly looked up? Well, that does have an arousing effect, that’s for sure.

Guys with glasses seem more reliable

One of the other reasons that glasses make people look hot is that they sort of give a vibe of someone being reliable. When you see a person with glasses the first thing that the nerdy look gives off is that this person will never let you down.

They are the indoor sunglasses

I f you are the kind of person who believes that glasses are sexy then whenever you can opt for just clear glasses whenever you are indoors. As I mentioned earlier, sunglasses have a way of making a person look like an upgraded, hotter version of themselves. So if you love how you look when you are wearing your sunglasses outside, then consider clear glasses as a substitute for when you are indoors so that you don’t look like a douche wearing sunglasses indoors. Glasses are your best solution.

Harry Potter made glasses cool

When thinking about this, I remember this episode of ‘Two and a Half Men’ where Jake had put up posters of sexy women on the wall of his bedroom. Now when the grown-ups left he put some glasses on and addressed the posters saying, “Hello ladies. I am Harry Potter” in that British accent. I am sure that British accent that people really love actually made the Harry Potter look pretty sexy. Look at Halloween and how lots of people like spotting the Harry Potter look. Now if there is a guy that made the nerdish look be sexy, it is Harry Potter.

People with glasses fully embrace that look

One thing that makes glasses make you look hot is that people believe that you have embraced the look. The thing with people who wear glasses is that they never hide under contact lenses. They really don’t care about what people think of their looks. These people usually embrace the nerdy look. And that bold statement of “I love the way I look and don’t need to pretend to be someone I am not” is what makes people believe that glasses are sexy.

Glasses make people stand out from the crowd

What makes glasses make you look hot is that you get noticed faster and more than men or women who don’t have glasses on. The thing is, even the men who would normally ignore you will notice you when you have them on. One might not like how you dress, but the glasses will make them notice your eyes. Glasses are a magnetic accessory, one most people can’t ignore.

When those glasses come off, you know its time for some sexy business

There goes your green light. Someone wants to get their sex on. It’s like the moment those glasses come off, you know it the green light that things are about to go down. It’s sexy time! It’s kind of like saying that taking the glasses off makes them see even more clearly when they are getting down to business.

Have I done enough convincing about why you need to consider this nerdish look? Well, if you think I am lying, how about searching for hot celebrities that wear glasses. That my friend will change your mind because many of them really look hot. Plus, glasses have become trendy.

The post Why Glasses are Sexy on Men and Women appeared first on Love is all colors.

There are people who will swear that redheads are the best. Some even refer to them as real-life unicorns. Are they really? It’s no wonder quite a number of women usually dye their hair into a rich red. And you know what, they love every minute of the attention that they get. So why all that attention? Can people come up with actual reasons to back the statement that redheads are the real deal?

Well, here are some of the reasons why you need to consider going ‘ginger’. Read on…

Why choose a redhead?

Some time back, redheads were not considered to be on the competing plane when it comes to the “who is better” question. It always used to be a contest between the blondes and the brunettes. Well, it seems like that argument has officially been settled. And guess who won the day, apparently scientifically? That redhead that has been ignored for quite a while turned out to have the upper hand in this debate.

You don’t believe it? Well, let’s take a look at some of the facts that support the facts that will begin to show you why redheads are better than blondes and brunettes… and why you should probably consider turning into a ‘fake’ one lol…

They have genetic superpowers

The genetics surrounding the redheads are some of the main reasons why people regard them as the “unicorns of the human world”. One of the facts that has made them garner that title is because they are rare – 2 percent of the population. Besides that, they are different in so many ways scientifically. Besides being rare, let’s talk about some of these generic superpowers they possess and other amazing facts that keep emerging about redheads.

They produce their own Vitamin D

If you are a redhead, then you have heard the joke that redheads could burn even under a shade. Nothing negative about the joke. Apparently, the concentration of red hair and pale skin made redheads, especially from the European countries adapt to the cloudy weather conditions and gained a greater ability to create their own vitamin D. Redheads are the best because they do not need to go outside to get that vitamin D. They create it.

So the reason why redheads are better than blondes is that they have the ability to fight things like Ricketts better. When they go outside, they absorb it even faster. And because low vitamin D leads to illnesses like diabetes, asthma, or arthritis, redheads are less likely to develop them. What an evolutionary advantage!

They are a tough breed

After mentioning that they have genetic superpowers, this shouldn’t come as a surprise. Apparently, their tolerance to pain levels is higher by up to 25 percent than that of other hair colors. The way they react to and handle pain is totally different. They even feel less pain when pricked. Spicy food, bring it on. According to some studies, it required 20% more general anesthesia to put the ginger under during surgery. If they are harder to sedate, I wonder how many gallons of alcohol they can down

This could be the reason why redheads are adventurous, in bed that is. They are more likely to be into BDSM.

They age gracefully

Look at Scarlett Johansson. How about Prince Harry. What makes them so ageless… They still look like they did when they were in their 20’s right? One thing they have in common is their red hair. Redheads have a gene called the gene MC1R gene, which is responsible for their ginger hair. That said, the same gene has a variant that keeps some of these redheads looking much younger than others. According to studies, redheads usually look like they have shed 2 years off their skins.

Besides the skin appearing two years younger, the level of pigmentation in their hair also works to their favor. Red hair tends to retain its color for longer than all other shades of hair. So their hair doesn’t drastically go grey. It will often fade to a blonde before graying.

Apparently, most people think they are funnier

So I am just going to put it as a question for you to think about. When you think of circus clowns, which color usually comes to mind? Yap a brightly red-colored wig and a pale face. All this depiction of clowns as redheads began in the 19th century. Well, the idea behind the brightness of the wig was not about them looking funny. It was so that people at the back could see them. So red became the color of choice.

That idea of the red-haired clown became embedded into people so much so that even today, people associate the red hair of redheads with clowns. So when one meets a redhead, they automatically assume that they are funny as hell. That could be another reason why people are so smitten by them.

They are more sensitive to changes in temperatures

Redheads feel the changes in temperature more rapidly than other people with different hair colors. This is because of the redhead gene, MC1R. It usually makes the temperature-detecting gene in humans to become overreactive. This is what makes redheads more sensitive to sudden changes in temperature. So if a redhead says they are chilly when you are leaving the house, better go grab that snowsuit because it means it’s going to be bloody cold. Their sense of temperature is very accurate.

So why choose a redhead? Well, you are just about to find out why next…

They have more, better sex

Well, one of the things about redheads that emerged recently is that redheads are the best at sex. Besides being great at it, they are also having more of it. Now, this isn’t just some hearsay stuff. There is some scientific stuff to back this. Actually, the ‘having more sex’ bit is scientific. Plus they are better at it, thanks to their genetic makeup and physical characteristics.

What are the most popular fetishes that people have? One thing that comes to mind when people talk about fetishes is some complicated sexual stuff.  But you know what, it doesn’t necessarily have to be some complicated sexual contraptions. Something as simple as liking to be spanked or tied up when having sex qualifies as a fetish.

Today on Love is All Colors, we take a look at what fetishes are as well as have a look at popular sexual fetishes. Scroll on as we talk more about these…

How common are fetishes

Before we start discussing  the most popular fetishes, first need to discuss what a fetish is.  To make it simple, a fetish isn’t an activity or object that one desires too much. What makes a fetish a fetish is a role that activity or object plays in that person’s life. Basically, it is a behavior or something that needs to be present for someone to get aroused. Without it, they might not be sexually aroused at all. It is sexual arousal that is dependent on a normally non-sexual object.

The words fetish and kink are usually used interchangeably. Kink is usually a behavior or act that is outside the norm of traditional sexual acts. For instance, bondage where a person gets super aroused when tied up. Bondage can also be a fetish where their whole sexuality revolves around being restrained. Then of course there is the normal turn on where someone simply gets aroused by something.

So how common are fetishes?

While, having fetishes comes with lots of  social stigmas, as days go by, they are increasingly considered as mainstream. In fact, lots of people are making a living out of being kinky and out of other people’s fetishes.

Now, when talking about fetishes, most of the people think of BDSM (Bondage/Domination/SadoMasochism). This usually involves lots of power play and exchanges by exploring new sensations of pleasure mixed with pain, and experiencing the mental satisfaction of control and surrender…dominance and submission. Much as BDMS might involve some fetishes, not all fetishes fall under BDSM. However the two sometimes do overlap.

Well, now that you are a bit schooled, let us talk about some of the most popular fetishes and what they involve and are all about. According to studies, about half of us are involved or have the desire to engage in ‘out of the norm’ sexual activities. So if some of the popular fetishes we discuss here interest you, trust me, you are not alone. Having these fetishes doesn’t make you weird. Remember those that involve BDSM can be intense and even dangerous. Make sure that all people involved consent and also practice safe sex.

Let’s dive in…

Role-Playing

We all have great imaginations and wild fantasies. One thing we need to realize is that make believe is not only meant for kids. Even adults do it. And for adults its a lot of fun because our games involve acting out our sexual fantasies. Plus when most couples find themselves in a sex rut, role play is usually the easiest way to get out of it. That is what makes role playing one of the most popular sexual fetishes that exist. It is the easiest and healthiest way for people to make their sexual fantasies come to life.

Now if nurses arouse you, you don’t actually need to have a doctor to have sex with you. However, your partner can dress up as a nurse and you can play nurse-patient, and make it as kinky and as erotic as you want. The thing with role playing is that you get to have consensual sex with your ‘nurse’. Plus, your nurse can become the patient anytime you both wish… she can be promoted to doctor and demoted back to nurse whenever you please.

Role play ideas range from the classic schoolgirl-professor one to some that carry lots of stigma like the daddy dom and little girl/brat one. So long is there is consent, any play is possible.

Anal play

This is one of the common women fetishes. Plus, its not just for women only. Men are also fascinated by anal play. Plus it as common amongst heterosexual sexual partners as it is with the gay ones. You will be surprised at the number of people who get off on butt stuff. This ranges from one being fingered in the a** while having vaginal sex, to actual penetration of the butt hole with a penis or dildo. The prostate – the male g-spot – is what makes men particularly enjoy anal play.

These days anal play has become more socially acceptable, especially with college students exploring their kink whenever they can. And then of course there is the porn industry. There is no lubrication and also the butt hole harbors bacteria which can easily be transferred to the vagina. So if you plan to engage in anal play, cleanliness is key. Use a condom. And the other rule, lube, lube and some more lube…

Impact play

This is another one of the most common fetishes. It simple means spanking, flogging, paddling… pretty much any form of consensual striking during sex. Spanking is usually the most common type of impact play and safest way to begin navigating the world of BDSM. This can range from slight slap on the butt, to some light whacking with a paddle, to using a whip to strike someone during sex.

Safety and comfort are important with such popular fetishes. Boundaries on how hard the impact should be need to be established. Let your partner know the level of intensity that turns you on and choose a safe word if things get out of hand. Do your homework because some parts of the body aren’t safe to impact. The rule of thumb is to only strike the meaty part like the thighs and butt. Avoid areas where there are organs underneath.

Bondage

Bondage is when you and your partner decide to introduce some restraint or BDSM tie into your sex lives. It might sound scary. But if your partner has confessed to this one of the common women fetishes, then this is an exhilarating world to explore in the bedroom. Believe me, the mixture of both pain and pleasure on a human body at once is amazing as a couple gets into a realm of both mental and sexual satisfaction of both control and surrender.

The easiest way to go about it is to bind your partner using objects that you already have in plain sight such as  scarf or belt. You could also get some kinky handcuffs. Since the dominance and submission dynamics come into play with this fetish safety and boundaries are key. There must be consent. Plus like all other most common sexual fetishes that involve some form of dominance and submission, always have a safe word. Communicate about all aspects of bondage and take it slow lest you end up cutting off your partner’s blood circulation

Threesomes and orgies

This is all about getting it on with more than one person. If you have been on hookup online dating sites, you will back me when I say that this is another one of the most popular sexual fetishes among couples. They are always online looking for a third party. Then there are orgies where a group of people of all genders have sex. The other one is gangbang – one person being banged by more than two members. The most common fetishes of this kind is a woman being penetrated by multiple penises. One piece of advice: always use a condom!

Lingerie/ Costumes

One of the most popular fetishes revolves around something that could be sitting in your closet… lingerie. This is even shows up with people who would never in a million years consider themselves kinky or with fetishes. Now, while lots of people get aroused when they see their partners in lingerie or underwear, it becomes a fetish when lingerie MUST in any sexual scenario for one to get aroused… or maintain the arousal in order to get off. There are  also those fetishes that involve one wanting their partner to wear a particular costume…

Voyeurism and exhibitionism

This means that one reaches sexual satisfaction  from watching others who are naked or having sex. As per studies, this also happens to be most common sexual fetishes. This can be varied… from watching porn with your partner while having sex, to sex parties where you get permission to watch others having sex or masturbate.

Exhibitionism on the other hand means that a person gets off by allowing others to watch them. Remember, watching someone without their consent makes this stop being a fetish – it becomes perversion! Whatever the fetish consent is a must. Fetishes can lead to lots of misunderstandings. There is a fine line between having a fetish and being a pervert. And that line is crossed of consent is not obtained.

I hope the above answers your what are the most popular fetishes question and how you can engage in some of the ones you desire to engage in.

Those who believe in starsigns will tell you that different zodiac signs have different ways of coping with things. When the coronavirus was officially announced as a global pandemic, there were those people who ran across their cities stripping grocery shelves and supermarket shelves bare. Then there are those who just chilled and did their normal shopping.

Well, today on Love is All Colors, we are going to take a look at how different zodiac signs have been coping during this scary coronavirus time. Read on for more and see what lockdown traits your sign possesses…

How are different zodiac stars coping with the coronavirus crisis

These have been challenging times. People’s lives have been disrupted and for some people, life had become harder for some zodiac signs more than others. The thing is, people reacted differently. Now one thing you will realize about all this is that some of the things said in here might resonate with you. Maybe some of it won’t. Maybe when you read all this it will make you understand why your spouse or the people around you are reacting as they are.

So how have you really been coping with self-isolation? Wondering what your star sign says about you? Here are some of your starsigns lockdown traits…

Aries (March 21 – April 19)

Aries are known to be very bold and ambitious. Plus, they always love to be the first at everything. Seeing as I have that in mind, it is the main reason why we MUST put them at the top. We have to start with them first.

It comes as no surprise to me at all that during the lockdown, the trait is BOSSY! Yap. Aries loves to dive into things head first even during the most challenging situations. And during the lockdown, that is how they have been behaving too. Even when they are solo, self-isolating, they have no issues doing it alone. They are individualists.

Now, much as they can do it alone pretty well, the main issue is the confinement. Basically, this confinement feels like an infringement of their personal independence. The caging is very frustrating to the Aries. So, telling an Aries not to exercise or telling them the number of times they need to exercise isn’t their cup of tea.

Clearly, the Aries has to be outdoors. Being forced to self-isolate has been really frustrating for these guys. So, if you are an Aries, let’s hope while you are at it, you are maintaining social distancing.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Represented by the bull, looking at star signs personalities, this sign just behaves like the animal that represents it. The Taureans does enjoy a relaxing and serene kind of environments. The lockdown trait for these guys is calmness. So it doesn’t come as a surprise that they enjoy all things soft: soft sounds, soothing scents as well as luscious flavors.

Now apparently, if you go to the supermarket and find that there is no tissue on the shelves, blame it on the Taurus. This is because they like being calm and reassured. So, it makes sense that they would stock up their cupboards just so they can feel calm, safe, and secure. They like feeling relaxed. So, their shelves are stocked up with enough tissue and tuna cans that’s for sure.

One thing they are also known for is habit. The moment they get used to some routine, it’s hard to kick it. So, for them, now that they have gotten used to the lockdown routine, going back to business, as usual, will take them a while. I wonder how they will deal…

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

The Gemini likes gets things done. If there are starsigns that wish that they would have an extra pair of hands or that the hours of the day were like 20 just so they could everything on their list done, that’s Gemini for you. These ones are the busybodies of the zodiac signs. Always interested in pursuing something.

Now, one trait that has been very noticeable is that they always want to feel connected to the world. So, if you want news about the coronavirus situation, ask the Gemini. Now with all things virtual, the Gemini has been busy connecting with the world. They have been busier than ever. Boredom is something that they cannot handle one bit.

So much as they have been busy online, these starsigns can’t wait for it to all end and get out and about. So what option is left but to kill their boredom with digital newsfeeds. That is how they are surviving the lockdown. We can safely call these guys faithful news gatherers – the ‘know it alls’ of lockdown. They are busy scouring the internet for what’s new. So if you are looking for hard facts about what’s going on with the world, ask a Gemini.

Well, in order to be safe, you need the information. Thanks a lot, Gemini. Gathering info is what the Gemini has been feeding on to stay calm.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

The water sign represented by the crab. These guys are both emotional and maternal. Now you know you can’t say mother without thinking about intuition and psychic. Well, that I can relate to. I am a Cancerian. Unfortunately, that intuitive thing didn’t work for me this time. I had no idea 2020 was going to turn out this way, lockdown and all.

Anyway, when talking about star signs personalities one thing for sure is that Cancers are great at picking up the energies in a room.

Do you know those starsigns that have been bothering people with pictures of their banana bread online? They are probably Cancer. They are perfect during the lockdown. Staying at home is kind of their thing. So now that we are self-isolating, that personal time they have to themselves is heavenly.

Even with people running around depleting grocery stores, these domestic peeps are great even with the threat of short supply of things. Now if you are quarantining with Cancer, you are lucky as they will make you feel nurtured and protected.

So, while the rest of us were panicking at the ‘stay at home’ announcement, that was music to Cancers. So, keep making that pot of soup and baking banana bread for the rest of us.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

The attention seeker is here. Where is the red carpet? Please roll it out. The Leo starsigns have graced us with their presence. And you wonder why? When they are the kings and queens of the jungle… the lions and the lionesses. Think royalty when you think about the Leos – theatrics, vivacious, passionate. If there is someone who loves the spotlight as well as themselves, its this star sign.

So why is it shocking you that they love telling others what to do? This extrovert isn’t really doing well with being caged. So, the only way they are surviving, now that they have fewer people to order around is to pamper themselves. Seeing as you are used to speaking and people listening, too bad for you. Try hosting some virtual parties them…

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Yap. There goes your OCD germophobes having a party over the fact that everyone has to constantly wash their hands and sanitize. These starsigns lockdown favorite pastime is cleaning. Being systematic and logical in everything they do, that deep cleaning is a blast to them. They are perfectionists. So, you need not worry about being around them – trust me, they have perfectly done the sanitizing.

Well, do you know what a Virgo is doing right now? Color-coding their closets and getting everything organized around the house and putting all their energy into following their health rituals. Their lockdown trait is anxiety.

What did you expect? They are always anxious. Virgo, now you have all the time in the world to make lists and clean. Just don’t rip your skin off while at it. The rest of us need to be ready for constant talks and lectures about proper hygiene.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

These are the peaceful starsigns. Their main trait is agreeing with everyone. They love balance and harmony, symmetry and equilibrium in all aspects of life. All they are obsessed with is that everyone is happy. So, if you are stuck with a Libra at home, expect special foods and special treatment. Being compliant is how they are surviving the lockdown.

Social distancing and isolation are getting on their nerves. They thrive on staying connected. Skype, zoom parties… they have been keeping at it with the virtual world.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

If you think that the Scorpio is bothered about social distancing, think again. Their main trait is resilience. Their inner life is richer. So, if there is one of the zodiac stars doing quite well during the lockdown, it’s the Scorpios. They are naturally private and easily adapt to various situations. They know how to beat the odds.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

This is one of the starsigns that likes to focus on the future. So, they will search for knowledge so as to be able to face the future. One thing they are is spontaneous. So, the lockdown has killed their entertainment. To counter all this, these are the guys who keep forwarding jokes and amusing videos. They like making jokes about everything around them. That is how they are surviving the lockdown.

Much as they like getting rebellious whenever their freedom is squashed, they see the bigger picture. Even with the lockdown, no one can come in between their jogging around the block and jogging.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

These guys are suckers for rules. Even with the deprivation of the lockdown, these guys are self-disciplined. They are obeying every public health rule. Every minute of the day counts for them. They take every FDR word to heart. They are followers of all the guidelines.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

This is one of the free-spirited starsigns and people’s people. So, you can imagine how the lockdown is messing them up. Now, one thing I got to stay is that everything to them is a conspiracy and the rest of us are too late to realize it. So, they believe that their logic is what will save them from this crisis. Everything has to be questioned.

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Another water sign like Cancer. This is the last zodiac sign with symbols of two fish. This is a fantasy sign. They are the dreamers. They are taking an idealistic approach during the lockdown. Seeing as they are overwhelmed by the crisis, they are the ones watching burying themselves in reruns of romcoms and movies. When it comes to being organized and being prepared for the future, the Pieces aren’t even stocking up. They believe that there will be a better future. So, they are staying positive and surrounding themselves with all the positive energy around them.

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Most people will tell you that this is the third sexiest zodiac sign in astrology. Apparently these people are hard to pin down. They have a whacky sense of humor which is one of the sexy zodiac personality traits. Plus, they can be very deep.

Much as this sign is extremely erotic they are also extreme romantics. That said, do not expect a cancer woman to drop her panties just like that. She prefers commitment more than a one-night stand. But the moment she decides to plunge into a sexual relationship with you, there will be no reservations. What makes them one of the sexiest astrological sign is that they have an oral fixation and can turn herself inside out to make sure the sex is mind-blowing. Nothing is off the table with her.

She loves the attention so her body will be on display for you to feast your eyes on.

Leo men are born to lead, are confident, and love theatrics. They love attention to them just as much they love to give it to their women. They have a killer smile. And that smile is all you need to make you drop your panties. Leo men love adventure and they are very eager when it comes to trying out new things introduced by their partners.

Why is Aquarius so attractive? I think the question here needs to be: Why are Scorpios so hot? What sexy zodiac personality traits make them take the lead here?

First off, they are very energetic and intense. They have a hunger and craving for sex that most zodiac signs can’t match. And this is the main reason why we have ranked them as the number one on our sexy sign list.

If you have ever been in a relationship with a Scorpio, then I am sure you will back me up here. They have an irresistible and magnetic power of attraction. I am talking about the supernatural kind of magnetism. Apparently, even the ones we deem ugly, have the power to get people into bed whenever they want. All they need to do is look at you with their mojo-beam eyes and just say something… and there you are screaming in pleasure.

So really. Why are scorpions so hot?

To be honest, it’s a mystery. And this mysterious aura surrounding them is what turns everyone on. One think that distinguishes the Scorpio from the other signs is that they love the kink. So you better bring out your creative, darkest sexual side.

The women are known for their heightened sexual desires that can be very consuming. She will go to whatever length to have her darkest sexual fantasies come to fulfillment on real life. They will plan on how to execute whatever fantasy they have. She loves to tease… working herself to ‘near ecstasy’ then leaving you both hanging on edge, anticipating hungrily for the consummation.

All this means that Scorpio women love to take the lead in their own fantasy role-play. So you better be ready to be the one being the sub or being whipped. Domination is what satisfied the core of her dark, intense, sexual desires. So if you are the person who moves with the flow, she will take you to a level of satisfaction you have never ever imagined. Sex toys, unusual positions, anal, anything taboo. Bring it on! For her, sex is all about crossing lines and breaking all boundaries.

As for the men, all they think about is sex… anywhere… anytime. The position doesn’t matter to them. All this man cares about is to have a robust sexual experience. Much as he might not have a preferred sex position, he is obsessed with intense levels of arousal. And just like the women, Scorpio men love to tease with all that they have words, his lips, his fingers, and then … Just when you are almost crowning, they stop!

No position or practice is taboo – oral, anal, any kind of stimulation that will push him to edge is what he craves for. He is eager to cross whatever sexual boundaries you might erect for him.

Conclusion:

The thing is, much as we have hailed the Scorpios to be the sexiest zodiac sign in astrology, I believe that there are a lot of other things that usually come to play. Now, if you really think that the Scorpios are the sex gurus, find one and learn a thing or two from them. I don’t believe in living the stereotypes. But have you ever thought to think that maybe all Scorpios are sexy because they believe that to be true about themselves? Well, step out of your comfort zone and try to be as adventurous as they are. It’s time to break those boundaries.

What is all this curiosity and rave about having sex with a Scorpio? For some reason, ‘Scorpio’ has always been synonymous with ‘sex’. Apparently, these natives love sex… on a different level. Why is this so? What is the reason behind the Scorpio sex drive? Is there a reason behind it or is all this merely mythology?

Read on as we explore this and more…

Why are Scorpios so sexual

Is it emotional? Are they inherently passionate or is it a way of compensating for their introverted nature? Is it simply sexual appetite and stamina or just using the stereotype as an opportunity to fulfill their quirky and extreme fetishes?

The 7^th sense theory

People usually assume that Scorpios just love having sex. And that they are too horny to even get satisfied. Apparently, to a Scorpio, sex is a way they use to respond to the world around them. There are a lot of things that can turn on a Scorpio. A simple conversation could be just as good as foreplay. To them, sex is a means of communication. They believe that all thoughts and ideas and everything unspoken come out during sex.

The experiences of Scorpio sex life

What sex is like

When having sex with a Scorpio you need to understand that they are usually consciously aware of everything that’s happening during sex – from the touch to the breathing. Every smile, laugh, smell, taste, hesitation, drop of swear, shudder, scream… doesn’t skip the attention of this highly sexual horoscope sign. They are passionate like that. So when having sex with Scorpio, you will experience sensual, emotional and psychological exchange of electric energy like you have never experienced before.

This exchange of energies transmits hopes, dreams, strengths, weaknesses that make the bonding experience when you have a Scorpio woman in bed otherworldly. The sex is deep. It’s exhausting. It is surreal and sometimes even scary.

How to handle a Scorpio’s sex/lust drive

For the young Scorpios, teenagers especially, dealing with the Scorpio sex drive can be very overwhelming, confusing and difficult. Most of the young adults don’t understand the intense nature of their Scorpio sexual traits and energy.

This begins as early as 9 years of age. Compared to their counterparts, the sexual curiosity of the Scorpio pre-teens is very high. They tend to read and research a lot about sex as well as physically explore their sexuality, usually before their peers.

This, however, is not something they should feel ashamed about.

As they grow much older, the Scorpio sex life becomes one of the total exploration and awakening of some dangerous lusts – most of them desire to engage in sexually deviant acts never to be spoken aloud.

Because of this, the advisable thing is to be in a monogamous relationship with a partner who understands this kind of sexual desire, energy, and stamina. This way, for instance, a Scorpio man sex drive and desires will be channeled discretely and monogamously. Otherwise, they will be consumed by their own sexual energy which might lead them to live dangerously doing self-destructive sexual things.

What a Scorpio woman desires in bed

One thing you will discover when you have a Scorpio woman in bed is that she knows what she wants when it comes to her sexual desires. These women are intense. And when it comes to having her sexual fantasies fulfilled in real life, she will never get tired of plotting ways until it happens.

So she is obsessed with sex. That’s what the sign is all about. The thing is, the Scorpio woman can go into the anticipation and planning of the perfect sexual encounter. Most people believe that these women can make a career out of tracing the ultimate sexual experience. So if you find yourself about to have sex with a Scorpio, you are in for a wild ride.

Given this tendency to set the stage one of the Scorpio sexual traits is that the Scorpio woman plays the lead when it comes to fantasy sex role-plays which more often than not, she has choreographed herself.

Sexual acts

When having sex with her you need to tread with caution. They tend to be very experimental and into BDSM. So you might find yourself playing a submissive role in her games as she wields a teasing whip. So if you want her to fully enjoy the sexual experience then you need to know that domination is what tickles the fancy of this dark and intense woman. So if you are down with it you will experience a whole new level of sexu­­al satisfaction as well as meeting her quirky sexual needs.

So when having sex with Scorpio woman, then don’t sweat it if ­she inflicts a little pain during sex. She might even let the pain infliction go both ways and beg you to match her prickle for prickle. Her desire is intense. Therefore, she might demand that both of you break through boundaries during sex. For her, anything goes – sex toys, unusual sex positions, breaking taboos like anal sex… All these may light her fire.

Her talk is as passionate as her actions. She is very descriptive about how she wants to be taken or how she plans to take control. She loves those late-night steamy phone calls and texts which will put both of you on the edge of the knife.

If you are wondering, why are Scorpios so sexual, then you need to realize that that is how they are wired – body, mind, and soul.  So you won’t have to wonder what she wants. She will show you how much she desires wild, unpredictable sex in detail.

Don’t be shocked if she shares all details of her sexual secrets while having dinner at your local bistro. She will lead you on and lead you on to a point of making you want to skip dinner.

Sex positions?

Finally, the sex part. Pay attention to the rush of feelings and sensations. With a Scorpio woman, the sexual position becomes irrelevant. What she deems favorite is the position that gets both of you off at that particular moment. With her, it’s not about struggling to maintain acrobatics. Just take her and melt into her eyes. What matters is that you maintaining that psychic contact during sex. So any position where there you can be face to face so that you maintain eye contact is what she will almost always prefer. And you know what? She won’t care who takes the driver’s seat…

What a Scorpio man desires in bed

When it comes to understanding sex with a Scorpio man, the question of his favorite sexual positions should be the least of your worries. What you should be asking yourself is: Do I have enough energy and stamina to be able to please as well as satisfy a Scorpio man sex drive? Do you have what it takes to meet the level of sexual passion demanded by such a man?

Scorpio men do not subscribe to any particular way. What he is after is not the how. He is after the breadth and depth of the ultimate sexual experience, not some crazy set of acrobatics.

Sexual acts…

I have used plural “acts” intentionally. A Scorpio man wants robust sexual encounters of any variety. Whatever the time, your Scorpio man is craving, pondering, imagining, and wanting sex

Much as the precise position is not important, the level of arousal is his obsession. He is very sensual with his foreplay. He will tease you with his words, his lips, his fingers, build all that anticipation and then … STOP.

Just like his female counterpart, the Scorpio man loves thinking about and planning sex just as much as he enjoys the act itself. BDSM, role-playing and preparing for all this play is all part of the thrill.

Scorpio sex

Sex with a Scorpio is an intense and stretched affair. You need to know that before the act itself, he has been crafting the perfect approach to your mutual orgasmic flight… probably even for days. Expect ardor and intensity beyond your wildest expectations.  This is the moment of truth… when rehearsal moves to performance.

He loves the look-into-your-eyes moves as the tension builds. This is the kind of sign that precisely cares about how his prowess in lovemaking takes you to an unworldly level. He might add a little pain to your sexual experience. Powerful thrusting, fingernails scratching, playful bites … all these enhancements are just little pleasurable stings from your scorpion.

With the Scorpio man, you need to tell him what he wants… slow or fast, gentle or rough. The thing about this man is that he gets off on watching you find your own sexual triggers. He will get hornier watching you masturbate as you guide him on how to please you. Expect him to also tell you how he wants to take you.

For him, nothing is taboo. Oral, anal, he is down for any kind of sexual stimulation and is eager to push you past any boundaries raised. Brace yourself to wrestle and squeal, brought to as he brings you to a level of sexual arousal and earth-shattering resolve that you didn’t think was possible.

Could it be possible that most people in the sex industry are Scorpios? If you missed favorite sex positions for other zodiac signs, visit our Horoscope and Sex section.

Learning to be a submissive when having sex can take your sex life to a whole new level and experience inconceivable sex. Whether its sexual role play or just trying something new to spice things up, if done right, it can really make one explore their sexuality in a safe and enjoyable way. Power is a very strong aphrodisiac… and so is submission and total surrender. And we can see all this from the way the modern culture and Bondage, Domination, Sadism, Masochism – BSDM – books and movies. Well, so long as all this is happening between two consenting adults, I say go for it.

Read on and find out what I learned about submission, bondage and how you can stay safe as you explore the wild side of your sexuality…

How you can have kinkier sex by learning how to be a submissive in a relationship

I can be quite bossy in the bedroom. So one day, I figured… Why not shake things up a little…? So I decided it was about time to relinquish control sexually. So I started learning to be a submissive in a relationship. And after reading about submission and how to be submissive to a dom, the thought of giving up control got my sexual juices flowing.

The thing is: submission is a very common sexual fantasy. So if you have been thinking about it, you are not weird. One advice I would like to give is, before putting yourself at the mercy of someone, do your research about and learn about dom sub basics.

Studies have shown that couples who have kinky sex tend to have incredible sex. And from my experience, learning to be a submissive opened up a whole new world for me. For me, being ordered around, being tied up and being spanked and coerced to do some stuff gave me such a thrill. We also used to switch things up and I would do the same to my boyfriend and he would really love it.

If you are new to it, don’t go full-on leather and whips. It was a bit hard trying to be someone’s b*tch in bed at first. But after a while, I was surprised just how much I got into it. And believe it or not, if you take it slow, your dude will enjoy it too. My submission made my dude feel like a real man. And it made me feel like a real woman.

Now if your guy isn’t dominating you already, ask him to. When I was learning to be submissive, one thing that was clear is that the lines of communication need to be open. Tell him that you’d like to try something new. Express your desire to be dominated in bed. It doesn’t have to be a huge conversation. Just drop a simple “I’d like to be dominated in bed”.

The one thing I learned about learning to be a submissive in a relationship is that submission is pretty natural for women… especially if you want to be submissive. Trust and willingness to do this are important to submission. Plus, if his idea for kinky sex isn’t your cup of tea do not compromise. Only agree to what works for you.

Power exchange is one of the best dominant submissive ideas I learned. So I once suggested that I tie him up. Plus, it doesn’t have to be the “tying him up” if he is not into it. Asking him not to let go of the headboard turned out to be so much fun for us… and super orgasmic. And you know what, we never get tired of talking about what we are going to try out next or what roles we are going to play next…

Dominant submissive ideas to consider

If you are just learning to be a submissive, as I mentioned earlier, BDSM needs to be consensual. And this is because some of these activities can turn out to be a little risky. Want to be submissive? Here are some of the small-time BDSM activities to start you off as you build up to more kinkier sexual activities.

Using senses to arouse

Spanking, tickling, using ice cubes on your woman’s body is a great place to start. Temperature play during oral sex can be very arousing. Allow your partner to either tie your hands to the headboard and let him do you as he pleases. This is called sensory deprivation. The other way to go about it is by being blindfolded. Sensation play can include a little pain like spanking and flogging. Some forms of bondage can be a little painful too.

Roleplay

Here, you act out a role. It’s very common and it can involve costumes and props. You could play the role of a landlord and a tenant who has refused to pay rent and needs to be punished by doing anything sexual that the landlord demands. Don’t be afraid to act out your fantasies.

Sadomasochism

Here is when you let your partner have complete control over you. Plus, the power play can be interchangeable. There is pain and humiliation involved with SM. So make sure you read the bondage dos and don’ts. You will be shocked at how much power and pain can be arousing.

Get your strap on

Now, this is the real kink. It happens when the woman wears a strap on and penetrates the dude. This is pure submission on the dude’s part and it has to be really consensual. If its the first time you need to consider the size. Let it be soft and small and graduate as you move along. And remember to use a lot of lube and to be as gentle as you possibly can.

Dom role play tips

New to a submissive relationship? Well, one thing about role play and these kinds of relationships is that there are no hard rules. In my relationship, when it came to gender, we used to switch the roles. All that we did was make sure that whatever it was that we were getting into, there was mutual consent every step of the way.

Exploring these new sensations of mixing a little pain and pleasure was satisfying. The control and surrender was just amazing. You need to remember that sometimes, it can really get intense and even dangerous for the sub.

Here is a list of some dominant and submissive tips that I learned that made our sexual play safer as well as enjoyable for both of us.

You need to make bondage escapable

If you have watched BSDM porn, then you probably have come across ‘inescapable’ bondage. Please remember that these are actors. And there is probably a number of times when the word “CUT” was yelled out and the actors took a break. When it’s just you and your partner, ‘inescapable’ bondage is not advisable. In the event that things get too intense or something serious and unexpected happens, the sub should be able to slip out of the restrains with ease. Or the sub should be in a position to reach to the restraints and release themselves. Can you imagine a case of a dom having a heart attack or seizure and the sub can’t call for help? Or you accidentally knock a candle with your kink and it is suddenly ablaze? That can be a recipe for tragedy.

There needs to be trust between the dom and the sub

Trust is very important in this kind of relationship. You can’t just decide to ignore the concerns of the sub. The dom needs to show the sub that he really cares about him or her. As Madonna once said, “It’s letting someone hurt you that you know would never hurt you.” The sub should always feel comfortable. And the sub should always trust that when it gets too rough, the dom will stop. Test boundaries with caution especially if you are just learning to be submissive.

Have a safe word

When I was learning to be a submissive, one thing that was emphasized on all the articles about BSDM I was reading was “THE SAFE WORD”. This is a word that a sub can call out when things get too overwhelming or too intense to handle, both physically and emotionally. So when the safe word is uttered, it means STOP and session needs to end.

Now, you have to understand that this needs to be a unique word because when it comes to playing submissive, the unwillingness of the sub is usually part of the role play. So words like “No! Stop” won’t cut it. Saying ‘No’ is normally considered part of BDSM. So get creative and try something odd, like “Blueberry”. And if the play involves gagging, then you should also decide on a “safe gesture “or “safe sound”.

Never inflict actual damage.

A small bruise might not be a cause of alarm. But too rough and hurried anal sex can be too much pain for the sub. And besides the pain it can lead to more serious health issues caused by hemorrhoids to anal fissures. The other thing you need to realize as a sub is that if bondage is too tight, it can cut off circulation or even cause tissue death.

The dom needs to be caring enough to ensure that bound parts aren’t getting numb or cold when touched. One of the submissive tips is when it’s too tight or uncomfortable, speak out. Much as you might want to please the dom, you should also be able to enjoy the experience… not be rushed to hospital in the middle of it all. If you realize that you are getting numb, release the pressure and massage to restore circulation.

The thing is, submission offers a wide range of new and exciting sexual activities that can get you out of your sex rut and into a whole new level of sexual pleasure. Whether it’s trying out kinky acts or it is going full-on BDSM there are several ways to explore and enjoy. Don’t limit your sexuality. Go for what works for you.

Is dating a skinny guy still a thing? Do women dig skinny guys? The thing is, just like women men come in different shapes and sizes. Plus, society will always have its own expectations and standards of what kind of man is attractive. Unfortunately, in most communities, skinny guys are ignored by women because there is a common misconception of mistaking skinny for poor or unhealthy. Well, there are those women who like their guys tall and skinny. And then there those women who date shorter, plump men and still make very beautiful couples.

One thing we have to admit is that dating skinny men doesn’t necessarily mean that you have a problem with big or fat guys. So what are the benefits of dating skinny men? Read on as Love is all Colors explores…

Benefits of dating a skinny guy

Much as size might not matter there are women, bigger women who might feel uncomfortable and even shy away from dating skinny guys. This is because they could be under the impression that a skinny guy would only approach her just to do her as a favor or is because he feels sorry for her. And then the woman might think that the dude has a fetish for fat women or he might be doing it on a dare.

One thing I know for sure is that it all boils down to attraction and personality. There are those men who appreciate their women to be on the rounder, softer side. So if you are a woman who has been turning down that skinny guy who is head over heels for you and has already declared so, here are some things benefits of being with a thin guy that might change your mind…

They will help you keep your weight in check

One of the main benefits of dating a skinny guy is that you will begin watching your weight because whenever you are with him, you will always feel bigger. This can help one keep in check bad habits that might contribute to being obese or unhealthily big seeing as when you continue being bigger he will look un proportionally thin when you are together. This being bigger than the boyfriend has encouraged most women to hit the gym and eat healthier.

When looking at weight there are those women who might also have concerns about being too skinny for men. Dating skinny guys might make you appreciate your petite body as he will make you feel a bit bigger.

He will eat well

There is the saying: The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Well, if there is one thing that brings joy to most women, is a man who enjoys eating food that has been prepared by the girlfriend. Funny thing, especially when they meet a woman who is a bit plump, most men tend to be great eaters in the hopes that they will add some little bit of meat on their bony structures. Unfortunately for most of them, a woman’s professional and delicious cooking might not yield those results. Some men are just genetically skinny.

Skinny guys shower their women with confidence

If dating skinny guys who love dating bigger women, chances they are genuinely attracted to bigger women. Otherwise, if that wasn’t the case, then they wouldn’t be with you in the first place. Even if you are dating a fitness model who is hot and ripped with muscles or he is a skinny guy with tattoos, if he loves the way you are, he will always compliment you and tell you how sexy you are. Skinny guys who love big women usually understand how harsh the world can be on them. So they want to reassure the woman how beautiful and sexy she is no matter the extra pounds she is packing. They want their women to feel confident enough to be with them.

No matter how shallow the world is, you know one person who isn’t – your boyfriend

For a big woman dating a skinny guy, you get to laugh at all those shallow people who thought you will die alone just because you are big. Yes, there is nothing as great as knowing that your boyfriend isn’t as shallow as the rest who aren’t. You will get a kick out of knowing that he chose you over the rest. That’s a great self-esteem boost, right?

No burden!

Skinny men are usually healthier and stronger than they appear. That might translate to great bedroom skills. Plus, you won’t have to worry about that after-sex weight on you. So he will never be a burden on you … literally.

You can completely dominate him… in bed that is…

When asked why he likes dating skinnier men, some woman’s reply was, “If ever it so happens that we got into a physical fight, the results of that fight will be favorable on my end”. Well, the dominance I am talking about is the sexual kind. So if you are the kind of woman that loves taking the lead and you think lying on top of a man who can take on your weight is a turn on, then get yourself a skinny dude. You will definitely get a kick of the BDSM bedroom games.

So are women still dating skinny men?

The question of whether or not one can date a skinny guy with tattoos or dating a fitness model who is muscular has got nothing to do with a woman who just wants to show off or one that is superficial. It is more about the question of preference. It’s what the woman chooses. Plus, sometimes, after spending time with a skinny guy, his great personality might rub off on you and before you know it, you are head over heels with him and his skinniness and tattoos simply fade away from your mind. They become something you don’t notice but embrace.

There are those women whose goal is to find a man who loves and respects her despite the size. They just get swept off their feet by the way the man loves and takes care of there. Much as looks and physical attraction do matter, the bark ends with the woman. The thing is, the attractiveness of a man has other sexually dimorphic characteristics such as height, shoulder width, frame, muscles, depth of voice, under the belt endowment and prowess, body fat percentage (which is inversely related to testosterone) among others, a woman is capable of being completely attracted to a skinny man… even a shorter man.

When looking at fitness, women who prefer skinny men, probably want a man who is well toned over a dude with a bodybuilder’s muscles. So they might not be into the common gym goer. If for instance, you lack the most common sexual dimorphism such as height or big jaw, don’t try and overcompensate this by growing too large muscles. In most cases, men who become too unpropotionally puffy tend to become less appealing hence losing the attraction and attention of women.

So if you are not building your body for a profession such as wrestling or bodybuilding, but for the sake of solely attracting women, then build the right kind of physique. Concentrate on working the arms, shoulders upper chest and glutes and stay as lean as you can. Remember, one of the sexual dimorphism characteristics is testosterone. The lesser the percentage of body fat, the higher the testosterone levels.

Do fitness and dating go together?

The thing is, if you feel you are too skinny and would like to meet someone who can help you build some muscle as well as keep a bit fit and well-toned, you could try fitness online dating and find a girl who enjoys some workouts who can motivate you into turning your body from skinny to well-toned. Plus, as per some online surveys 65% of online daters would rather date someone who exercises regularly.

Being a skinny dude doesn’t mean that now you neglect your health and fitness. If it’s a concern to you, how about combining fitness and dating? Hit the gym, get on a muscle-building diet and get enough sleep, especially if being skinny is something that is threatening your health. Clearly, there are lots of singles who are fitness-minded. So if you are looking to mingle with health and wellness in mind the search for fitness online dating options. Later in life, you will need that work out buddy to help you maintain that toned body and lead a fit and healthy lifestyle.

Parting shot

The thing is, you might meet a skinny guy you love when younger. Maybe he is skinny because of his health or stressful lifestyle. If you find that he has other good qualities that outshine his small frame, give him a chance. Trust me, genetic or not, he could add some meat or muscle on this body by simply going to the gym and eating foods that can add some muscle to his lean physique.

Dudes, if you like larger women, do not hesitate to make your move. You will be shocked at the number of women who won’t mind dating a skinny guy. Being skinny is nothing to be ashamed of. You need to let your girl see your uniqueness and let your personality shine.

Growing up, comedian and host of the ‘Daily Show’, Trevor Noah says that interracial dating in South Africa during the oppressive system of apartheid was illegal. Dating across racial lines was banned by law. And this is what inspired his memoir Born A Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood. The title “Born a Crime” was inspired by his mother’s story, Patricia, who was jailed and fined for giving birth to Noah, a mixed-race child. So centuries later, are things better?

Scroll on as we explore how things are today…

Interracial relationships South Africa

Interracial relationships in South Africa during apartheid were illegal. Period! Speaking of Patricia, she had a rough time bringing Trevor up during the Apartheid era. His own father who was Swiss was terrified to be caught in public with a biracial child to the extent where he couldn’t even hold his own son’s hand in public. Trevor remembers he used to run down the streets and the father would run away from him because didn’t want them to get into trouble. At the time, Trevor thought it was a game. He had no clue they were running away from the law. The mother had to act as the caregiver so as not to get in trouble for being in a ‘white’ area.

The thing is, much as the numbers are increasing, less than 4 decades ago, interracial couples might have gone to jail. They would be forced to hide their relationships like Trevor’s mother and father. But much as interracial couples still attract stares, most of them feel that they are fortunate to live in these times. More people are embracing interracial relationships.

Today there is a growing number of interracial couples in South Africa, who are trying to claim their rightful place. Up to date, even the former leader of South Africa’s largest opposition party (Democratic Alliance) is repeatedly asked questions about his wife of 13 years being white. And seeing as race is still an issue in the country, there are those who might distance themselves from his party because his wife is white and then there are those who are drawn to it because of their union which shows inclusivity.

But much as president Nelson Mandela promised a post-apartheid”rainbow nation”, interracial couples still stick out. Its all about developing a thick skin and getting used to the stares.

Interracial relationships in South Africa during apartheid

The first major piece of legislation during the apartheid was the Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act which was passed in 1949. The law prohibited marriages between white South Africans and black South Africans or any of the other ethnic groups in the country.

Interracial relationships South Africa post-apartheid

There are those people who live in SA who refer to themselves as the “born-free generation.” This is the generation of South African’s born after apartheid. Has being “born free” concept had any positive impact on interracial dating in South Africa and how society sees interracial couples?

Apparently not. Just like in all other places in the world, an interracial couple’s feeling of being “born free” largely depends on who you are dealing with. For instance, when a black person brings home someone who us white, you will get the “Oh! So you are bringing a white girl?”. Well, this could be generational.

When you meet parents who lived under apartheid their take on interracial relationships will be different from that of the post-apartheid generation. The older generation might still be skeptical and judgy towards interracial marriage.

But the younger generation sees things differently. And they are the reason for the increase in interracial dating in South Africa.

When looking at interracial marriage in South Africa Black men are more likely to be in mixed marriages. Interracial marriages are more prevalent amongst Africans, colored and Indian racial groups. As you guessed, Caucasians are least likely to marry interracially with interracial relationships being more common and interracial black people and other colored people.

Factors contributing to the prevalence of interracial marriage in South Africa

Awareness of race issues

South Africans have to some extent become aware of interracial relationships because we are seeing more of them. Yes, there may be interracial dating challenges. Yes, interracial couples may get stares here and there. But not all these stares are bad. Most of them are fascination and even admiration stares.

People are also learning how to cope with race and are also discovering ways of dealing with racial biases from society at large.

Heightened tolerance

Much as there may still be some negative social attitudes towards interracial relationships, there still lots of benefits. The more we see interracial couples, the more we see decreased prejudice and more tolerance to interracial relationships.

Plus, as per some studies, an individual’s intergroup attitudes could benefit from interracial friendships merely by
observing positive things that come out of the relationship. Looking at the post-apartheid era, social attitudes towards interracial marriages have generally changed positively. There is a larger proportion that is neutral or somewhat positive.

Education

Most of the younger generations in South Africa are going to mixed-race schools. So to this group, it is normal for them to interact with people of different colors and races. These are people who have been through the same education and can relate to each other because of growing up in similar environments. The thing is there are certain environments that increase opportunities for interracial friendships. For instance, teaching orientation and racial diversity can be effectively harnessed by schools to improve interracial interactions among students.

The thing is interracial friendships and increased social contact do increase the opportunities for interracial relationships and also the openness to interracial marriages.

The levels of education also play a big role. Those people who are more educated that have attained higher levels have more exposure to people of other races in the universities. Then there are those who have traveled abroad for studies which makes them more likely to get into and be more open to interracial relationships.

Interracial dating sites in South Africa

Most people are joining interracial dating sites to find love. The increase in such sites has also contributed to people approaching other individuals in an environment that is less prejudicial. The increase in interracial dating sites in South Africa has also played a role in the prevalence of interracial relationships. They present individuals with opportunities to meet like-minded individuals from other races. Online dating has made people more confident about dating interracially.

There is also the contribution of self accounts and reports from other individuals who have successfully dated interracially online. These success stories have played a major role in motivating people to date interracially. “If it worked for them, why not give it a shot?”

More liberal individual characteristics

We are in the post-apartheid era. So the “born free” generation seems to have more liberal ideologies and integrated environments. Living in integrated neighborhoods and attending integrated schools gives this generation more exposure to individuals of other ethnicities.  So for them, they have the opportunity.

Then speaking of liberal ideologies, there is also the motivation to get into interracial relationships. For instance, there are lots of ads that portray interracial relationships.  And when you also look at interracial dating sites in South Africa, couples speak openly about their success stories. At the same time, the motivation bit can also be evidenced by the self-reports of couples in interracial marriages.

Attraction

Some people feel that they have qualities that certain ethnicities find attractive or they desire some physical characteristics that are associated with a specific race. That said though, it normally boils down more to the personality of the potential mate as opposed to race. So basically, we are back to the opportunity to interact with someone of a different race in order to be drawn to their personality.

Much as people might cite racial factors as what has caused the prevalence in interracial relationships in South Africa, non-racial factors seem to play a major role. It is more about common interests shared and physical attractiveness – which is not race-related.

What are some barriers to interracial relationships in South Africa?

Racially and ethnically related hate crimes top the list. The risk of victimization for being an interracial couple, especially for black South Africans still presents a barrier to pursuing interracial relationships hence scaring some individuals away from interracial dating in South Africa.

The thing is, much as people predict some level of instability in interracial relationships, these couples tend to be more securely attached and they work together towards protecting their union. They also tend to have mutual respect and affection for one another. They also tend to have more in common personality-wise than not.

It is a work in progress…

It’s an individual and yet societal mindset that needs to change before we’re any closer to really embracing each other in a way that skin color is looked at differently. Despite the positive figures, there remains significant public opposition and stigma associated with interracial dating in South Africa. But whether we like it or not, interracial relationships seem to be the way of the future.

So does this mean that we are closer to eradicating in South Africa? Unfortunately, this is a place we might never reach. We keep hearing people calling out racists day in day out on social media among other racially charged violent incidents.

That said, the rise in interracial relationships in South Africa is quite refreshing. This means more South Africans are embracing multiculturism and mixed-race couples. Some suburbs seem to be more receptive to the idea that love knows no color. However, those with more cities with tighter cultural influences like Durban and Cape Town, not so much.

The thing is, so long as people are integrating with one another at their places of living, in schools and at work, we are definitely going to get better attitudes and more openness because after a while, you get to realize that there is nothing different between races because you share so much in common.
