Big black cock, usually shortened to BBC, is a sexual slang term and a genre of ethnic pornography that focuses on black men with large penises. [1] [2] [3] The theme is found in both straight and gay pornography.
The designation refers to the stereotype of black men having large penises, and has been described by some critics as portraying black men as animalistic and aggressive. [1] [4] [5] [6] The trope is typically invoked in the promotion of pornography featuring a black male performer and a white or Asian female performer. [7]
The stereotype appears in gay, bisexual, and straight media, [1] with the "BBC" acronym also being "ubiquitous among gay men on dating sites, in pornography, and in other gay sexual spaces. Its use extends beyond penis size itself to encompass a number of sexual traits that would establish Black men as prized sexual partners. It often includes specific mention of dominance, aggressiveness, and submission of the White partner," according to sexuality studies scholar Logan D. Trevon. [4] The term also appears in connection with cuckoldry fetishism. [2]
The term is considered by some to carry racist connotations, to embody the fetishization of black men, and to perpetuate harmful stereotypes about the physical features and sexual appetites and inclinations of black men. [1] [8]
Writer and activist Rhammel Afflick said he had found that "my worth is often only perceived sexually. There are always references to me having a 'BBC' (big black cock)". [9]

As of 2022 [update] , the term, "BBC", was the 20th most searched category of pornography on Pornhub. This was noted to be a decrease from previous years. [11]

A facial is a sexual activity in which a man ejaculates semen onto the face of one or more sexual partners. A facial is a form of non-penetrative sex, though it is generally performed after some other means of sexual stimulation, such as vaginal sex, anal sex, oral sex, manual sex or masturbation. Facials are regularly portrayed in pornographic films and videos, often as a way to close a scene.

Pornography has been defined as sexual subject material "such as a picture, video, or text" that is intended for sexual arousal.

A general distinction of adult content is made classifying it as pornography or erotica.
Bisexual pornography is a genre of pornography that most typically depicts men and at least one woman who all perform sex acts on each other. A sex scene involving women and one man who all perform sex acts on each other is generally not identified or labeled as bisexual.

The term is primarily used to describe a sexual practice whereby an erect penis is removed from a receptive partner's anus and then directly put into their mouth, or possibly the mouth of another.
In human sexuality, top, bottom, and versatile are roles during sexual activity, especially between two men. A top is usually a person who penetrates, a bottom is usually one who receives penetration, and someone who is versatile engages in either or both roles. These terms may be elements of self-identity that indicate an individual's usual preference and habits, but might also describe broader sexual identities and social roles.
Human sexuality covers a broad range of topics, including the physiological, psychological, social, cultural, political, philosophical, ethical, moral, theological, legal and spiritual or religious aspects of sex and human sexual behavior.
