I received a couple emails regarding the term BV. So I decided to repost a detail description of what a BV is and how it earned a place in my social vocabulary. The idea of a typical virgin seems to be more of a over exaggerated practical joke. As I watch movies like American Pie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Porky’s, and even Super Bad, I realize that it’s just a bump in the road. It’s a right of passage from childhood to adulthood. I’ve written about a different type of virgin on IDW. Some of you have sent me emails regarding the term BV. What is it?? What does it mean?
The term refers to a brotha virgin. A black man virgin. This is a term that I coined one night on the town with a group of my friends. I was at a sports bar after the Cowboys game. I was exchanging phone numbers with a tall Texas blond. I asked her if she has dated a black man. She laughed and said, “no..I’m a virgin”. The phrase BV aka Brotha Virgin was born. Since that night the term BV has become a fixture in my vocabulary.
- She wasn’t a BV for much longer-
Since, I’m not in search of sexually inexperienced women (virgins) in my life, the BV is a thing of beauty in my opinion. It signifies a woman who is looking/willing to explore her sexuality. It signifies a woman who wants to try something different.? It doesn’t matter if she only wants to verify the mythical black lover.? I find it as one of the ultimate compliments. It’s the fact that her 1st sexual experience with a black man will be with me.? She has trusted me to share/create a memory that will possibly change her perception of black men. I will admit that it’s a sexual turn on. It’s a turn on to know that you have taken her sexuality to another level.? I’m sure this might be similar to a typical virgin. The only difference is, there’s a 99% chance that this will be a great sexual experience.
For all the ladies that have never heard of this, don’t be shocked.? Black men that date interracial think about this almost 100% of the time. We have a habit of asking you about your interracial dating experiences. The fact is, one sexual experience might confirm everything she’s ever fantasized about. It’s possible that once she goes black…? Well you know the rest.
What kind of value does virginity have in society?? Webster defines value as, relative worth, merit, or importance. Everyone places value on virginity in some form or fashion.? It may not be a moral or monetary, but there is a value. When dealing with a BV, I’ve been known to take a few extra steps to make sure it’s a memorable occasion.? I will carefully choose background music. I will strategically wear one of my favorite fragrances. I will make sure the lighting in the bedroom is perfect. I will even pour a glass of her favorite wine. Mentally, I’m prepared to give her the sexual experience of a lifetime. That means for the next several hours, I’m focused on pleasing her to the point of no return. I value every minute of this experience. I value the look on her face. I value her expressions, her emotions, her pleasure and the memory that was created.
Do I enjoy dating a BV?? Yes. Will I lower my expectations because she’s a BV?? No.

So are you saying all us ladies that are non-black should lie and say we are BV’s so we get that intense first time, erotic, shockingly energetic attention the first time we plan to become intimate with another brotha? Cause Damn if I’m gonna get that each time I’m lyin my ass off.

haha… I am also saying part of it is the anticipation and excitement that you feel from the unknown. But if you lie.. you’d be surprised how far we will go.

I feel bad for BVs. Well I guess you cant miss what you never had. I personally am a WV but I do watch my share of adult entertainment and I know what it looks like when a man is doing the damn thang. I have never seen a white man put it down, thrust it, or put his back into it like, let say, Mr. Marcus. I think you’re doing a great service to all BVs LOL!

Ok.. If Marcus was white I’m sure he’d still put his back into it.
So do you think you’ll ever lose your WV status?

In a way, maybe it is better for a BV to have a horrible first experience. That way, if she’s still into it, then she knows her desire runs deep and is not an attempt to recapture the 1st time. Also, having an ideal 1st time could make her expect that in future experiences..in which she is likely to be disappointed.
I’m not saying you should make BV’s 1st time suck.. I’m just saying I can see how it could bite them in the ass.
Yeah, my first 3 black men put me through hell– to the point that I could have pressed charges on the 2nd & 3rd. No BV should have to go through that. No woman ever, for that matter. But, I think there’s a positive to those experiences.. that I learned fast and grew as a person while incorporating swirl into my life forever.

well.. I think the 1st experience should always be the best. Sadly we judge everything based on our first experiences. I’m sure with time.. a bv will truly relish the experience.
