Celebrating the Lives and Strategies of Black Women Digital Erotic Cultural Producers

Digital erotic cultural production as a form of resistance against sexual oppression has the potential to encourage Black women to self-define, embrace, and subjectify their sexual desires, thus improving their sexual health behaviors. Using surveys and interviews, this study investigated the lives and strategies of Black women digital erotic cultural producers. Findings suggest that Black women digital erotic cultural producers lead lives as sexual health professionals who deploy strategies to pursue a positive change in the sexual behaviors of their priority audiences. Such change is needed to address the largely neglected disparities in Black women’s sexual health.
