Abstrakt: Abstract:Exploring southern Black women’s sexual messaging is important for appropriately contextualizing their sexual experiences. This study advances the literature on southern Black women’s sexuality by analyzing the valence, content, and sources of sexual messages using #HotGirlScience. Twenty-five Black women’s semi-structured interview responses were analyzed using thematic analysis. Thirteen women reported mixed messages, followed by positive messages (n = 10) and negative messages (n = 2). Seven major content themes were constructed: 1) sex is taboo, 2) sex is painful, harmful, and/or violent for Black women, 3) sex prioritizes male partner’s pleasure, 4) consent and safety, 5) agency and sexual pleasure, 6) pleasure expansiveness, and 7) sexual communication.
