Description
There is a not-so-new, not-so-secret destination where a growing number of American black men are traveling for the kind of sex and freedom they say they can't find with black women. Thousands of unsuspecting women are kissing their men good-bye while they go on "business" trips to Rio where they meet up with some of their friends and have sex every way they can imagine-no strings, no hassles, and no conscience. For fifteen years, Jewel Woods, a doctoral candidate at the University of Michigan, has been studying the behaviors of black men. In this book, Jewel will explain why black men travel elsewhere for sexual pleasures.
