Article: Afro-Sensual Dominion

What is Afro-Sensual Dominion? Afro Sensual Dominion is a kink dynamic in which Black people dominate people of other ethnicities. Perhaps the most common manifestation is probably that of Black people dominating White people, and certainly this is the kind I tend to focus on in my stories about the subject, and it’s the form I will be discussing here.

The practice can have various expressions, such as sexual, sensual, BDSM(i), service, financial, even romantic, and can range from mild to severe, from playful to profound, and from intermittent to constant. And whilst it is obviously distinct from the concept of allyship(ii) against anti-Black racism, nevertheless Afro-Sensual Dominion can certainly come under that umbrella. It must of course always adhere to BDSM/kink protocols of mutual consent(iii). And, I believe, should be approached as a mutually beneficial celebration of shared humanity.

Afro-Sensual Dominion is not about exoticisation or fetishisation or perpetuating racist tropes, but about Black and White participating in a liberating rapport in order to heal, celebrate, give and build together in mutual sensual exhilaration and loving kinkiness. For the Black individual it is an act obviously constituted in grace and generosity: merely giving of time recognised as bounteous charity, proximity understood as sacred, and communications and attention of any and every kind seen as blessed gifts, bestowing revelation, education, nurture and joy. For the White individual it is essentially an act of repentance and reparations, whether expressed explicitly as such, or whether expressed as veneration, worship, desire, longing, gratitude, honouring, devotion, deference, obedience, service, or giving.

As regards terminology, I think some form of the term Afrosensual has been around for a while now, used most notably, as far as I can recall, by the amazing and wonderful Pangea's Garden, although I may possibly have coined the specific phrase Afro-Sensual Dominion. And if so, it’s a specific phrase arrived at because I feel it offers a broader and more nuanced application than an alternative such as, say, Afro-Sexual Dominion. And this is because, as alluded to above, the interaction we’re speaking of may not necessarily be sexual in nature. I feel the focus on sensuality suggests the more consistent and expansive idea of pleasure being derived from the D/s(iv) (Dominant/submissive) interaction no matter the outward form of that interaction.

This is the model of Afro-Sensual Dominion I propose and propound. My stories about Afro-Sensual Dominion are hopefully inspiring and enjoyable tales of the wonderful shared gratification of Black people asserting sensual dominance over White people, and the mutual joy of experiencing White people’s volitional sensual subservience, connecting at the deepest levels in acts of sensual, psychological, spiritual and socio-political significance, always rooted in the fertile soil of true equality. To my mind, Afro-Sensual Dominion is a beautiful, multi-faceted, revelatory D/s dynamic, brimming with nourishment, joy and exhilaration.
