Abstract

Gender differences in sexual arousal to stimuli are well established; less is known about sexual arousal among women from different ethnicities. Heterosexual Black and White college women reported their subjective sexual arousal to erotic videos portraying White actors or Black actors. Black women were more aroused by the Black video than the White video. White women found both videos similarly arousing. Sex guilt and the male actor's attractiveness predicted White women's arousal to the White video; willingness to have sex with someone of another race and the male actor's attractiveness predicted their arousal to the Black video. None of the variables predicted Black women's arousal to the White video; however, their arousal to the Black video was predicted by the male actor's attractiveness. Suggestions for further research on the sexual arousal of diverse groups of women are discussed.
