Can't Do Anything

Instead of bringing light to the issue, this picture leads to a whole different discussion. With a subject as touchy as this one.  Keep it as basic and simple as possible. Introduce men to the concept of help before you divide them with deception. Sexual prowess is viewed differently in the respective communities. A black man who can't perform in bed has a tougher road ahead of him than others. He is considered less of a man. Contrary to what the photo implies.  Black women aren't leading the charge in understanding either.That's the one area in life where the black man is rumored to have an advantage. White men don't challenge black men there. They let us have that. That's the one area where they feel inferior.

You will never see this picture in reverse. A white woman consoling an impotent brother. That just isn't happening. Sex is usually the connection between them in the first place. Usually when a black woman crosses over. She has already released some long accepted stereotypes anyway. In  either case it's frustrating for all involved  All men want to be virile. No matter how old they get.  They never get  too old  to want to have sex. Some would rather die than quit.

All that said, they still won't go to the doctor. Up until the actual act itself, they continue like nothing is wrong. I  think  that is the source of a lot of domestic violence.  Who wants to fight when they can make love? It's been said " the only man that won't give a woman any money is a broke one or a dead one". The other is one who can't do anything.
