Thank you.
Scottie
Scottie hit me up on my MYSPACE joint so I had to throw out the assist. While I for one am looking for ways to self-actualize/self-substantiate, I do feel that it is extremely necessary for US (blackfolk) to frame/re-frame the sexuality of our culture by way of any venue possible. "Baby got back" and "Mandingo" leave much to the imagination and for the most part lump all of the possibilities within the sphere of sexuality (specifically afroeroticism) into some of the most rudimentary and banally elementary themes (centered specifically around physical qualities and how much ass you can tap).
Part of the reconstruction of the Afro-Psyche is creating eroticism based on our own thoughts and our own impressions, its about sharing what we explore, what we feel, how we love, and these all need to be developed organically.
White people have defined sexuality within "western civilization" to the extent that we concede everything to their connotations of normality/ deviance etc. If your purpose in the literary field is about expanding the erotic horizons (or any horizon for that matter) then it would seem that the truly avant-garde vehicle is one that explores visions outside of their own familiarity.
