Abstract
Racial differences in sexuality are difficult to study due to the privacy of sexual intercourse and the questionable validity of self-reports. We use a novel method to study racial differences: surveying sex workers. We surveyed 129 American female sex workers. We asked them to rate the ethnicities with whom they had had intercourse on thirteen traits and behaviors for five different racial groups: Blacks, Hispanics, Whites, East Asians, Indians, and Jews. The largest reported differences between Blacks and Whites include Blacks having larger penises (d = 1.23, p < .001), that they preferred buttocks over breasts (d = 2.38), and that they preferred doggy-style over missionary (d = 1.42, p < .001). Compared to Blacks, Whites were rated as being particularly interested in kinky sex (d = 0.70, p < .001) and kissing (d = 0.85, p < .001) as well as being faster to ejaculate (d = 0.97, p < .001). Keywords: Sexual behavior, Race differences, Prostitutes, Stereotypes, Sex workers.
