How often do interracial hookups happen? Most pictures I see are of black or hispanic men with caucasian women. Do any caucasian men hook up with women of other races?

I personally observed this occur on more than one occasion. With the attitude of most people who go to hedo this should not be a problem. By the way, I think you said you were from the St. Louis area. We live in Collinsville just 12 miles east of St. Louis.
Yep, they happen. Both ways. Jamaica is such a diverse place with wonderful people and hedonism is a great resort with open minded people so the interracial "hook ups" do occur as natural as same race. Being in an interracial marriage, I love the openness of Hedo! It is great!!!!!
See ya!

As Blue stated, Hedo can be quite diverse, depending on the groups that are there during your visit.
I plan my trips around times with the greatest diversity (geographic, ethnic, sexuality, etc...)
Either we vibe and find one another attractive (mentally, physically, and personality) or we don't.
Everyone hooks up, if they want to, without regard to race.
I have physical preferences, and ethnic background does not factor in.
In my Hedo experience, most feel the same as I.
If you are looking for a specific 'interracial hookup', you should look for groups, whose guests meet your racial needs. You are sure to find it!
Best of luck! Have a great trip, and write a trip report upon your return!

Interracial Dating/Hookups seem to be the hot topic on the site for today...
We are from europe. What does all this inter racial mean exactly? Why is it so exciting to Americans?
Well, it's like this... Racial division in the US has a pretty ugly history. Thankfully, over the last few decades, we have made considerable progress and we can see the "equal light" at the end of the tunnel.
Because of the division and segragation that occurred literally and socially here, there remains a taboo of sorts in "mixing" races. It's like girl/girl activity in a way. Yes, it's here and growing in acceptance, but there was a time that it was not just taboo, but downright frowned upon and rarely seen.
Is your glass "half full," or "half empty"... At Hedo, who cares... go ahead and fill it up every time you're near the bar...
Size??
Do you think women like black men because they tend to be on average more endowed? I like a nice butt, but my wife likes a large penis. For the most part she just looks and there is a lot more to it than just the dick, but based on about 30 visits to Jamaica, she says black men she has seen down there tend to be packing more than average.
Regarding the recent interest in 'Interracial Hedo-Hookups', I can say this:
As an African-American Woman, I have dated (and fucked) men (and women) of all races.
My first orgasm was with a man of European decent. The first dick I sucked was with a man of European decent.
My first taste of a pussy, other than my own, was that of a French-Canadian woman.
I tend to be attracted to intelligence and humor FIRST. Then comes physique. The color skin the intelligence, humor, or physique come in is totally irrelevant.
I can state, that the non-African-Americans I am attracted to tend to have olive/tan skin; Italian, Latin, Greek, Israeli, Moroccan, etc... Though, I have had my share of red head, green eyed and blond hair, blue eyed partners! Woo-Hoo!
Again, for me, it all comes down to whether or not we 'vibe'.
Now... Whether or not a man, of certain ethnicity, is more endowed, is completely false. Anyway, does it matter if a man has a big dick if he doesn't know how to work it?
I'll take an average size dick, with a man who can fuck, any day... No matter their ethnic background!
That's all I have to say about that!

My wife says, "size matters not the race" ha ha. All men of all races come in all shapes and sizes.
See ya!

I will not go into detail regarding the 'ugly history' J referred to. This is not the forum to do so. Plus America is now a country focused on 'Change', not the past.Originally Posted by A+J
While I would not equate interracial hookups to those of girl-girl, I do understand the analogy.
Every continent, country, city and town has their idea of what is / is not 'taboo', regarding relationships or simply fucking. Each society has their idea of what is the 'norm'.
It really does not matter though. What people are not doing in public, they sure as hell are doing in private! LOL
~EHB~
I like the blue eyes part!!!!! ha ha So, when are you going again?
See ya!

Here's a question: If Obama (who I voted for btw) is half white and half black... why is he considered black? I am serious about this. I know that 50% of the people would say a glass is half full and the other 50% would say it's half empty, but 100% of the people say Obama is black. If it's a stupid question, then give me a stupid answer, but I would like to know the logic.
Is your glass "half full," or "half empty"... At Hedo, who cares... go ahead and fill it up every time you're near the bar...
Obama has said, "I identify as African-American — that's how I'm treated and that's how I'm viewed. I'm proud of it."

I KNOW that I stated, in another thread:
However, I feel that I need to shed light and move on.
Yes, the person who is not here for "history, sociology, economic or philosophy lessons" is about to give one.
Call me a hypocrite. LOL
Because he and I have had so much interaction, on the board, I feel it is my duty to honestly answer JANewbies question.
Apologies for the brief hijacking of this thread.
Class is now in session! LOL
JANewbies, to be considered black in the United States not even half of one's ancestry must be African black. But will one-fourth do, or one-eighth, or less? The nation's answer to the question 'Who is black?" has long been that a black is any person with any known African black ancestry. This definition reflects the long experience with slavery and later with Jim Crow segregation. In the South it became known as the "one-drop rule,'' meaning that a single drop of "black blood" makes a person a black. It is also known as the "one black ancestor rule," some courts have called it the "traceable amount rule," and anthropologists call it the "hypo-descent rule," meaning that racially mixed persons are assigned the status of the subordinate group. This definition emerged from the American South to become the nation's definition, generally accepted by whites and blacks. Blacks had no other choice. This American cultural definition of blacks is taken for granted as readily by judges, affirmative action officers, and black protesters as it is by Ku Klux Klansmen.
Let us not be confused by terminology. At present the usual statement of the one-drop rule is in terms of "black blood" or black ancestry, while not so long ago it referred to "Negro blood" or ancestry. The term "black" rapidly replaced "Negro" in general usage in the United States as the black power movement peaked at the end of the 1960s, but the black and Negro populations are the same. The term "black" is used in this thread for persons with any black African lineage, not just for unmixed members of populations from sub-Saharan Africa. The term "Negro," which is used in certain historical contexts, means the same thing. Terms such as "African black," "unmixed Negro," and "all black" are used here to refer to unmixed blacks descended from African populations.
We must also pay attention to the terms "mulatto" and "colored." The term "mulatto" was originally used to mean the offspring of a "pure African Negro" and a "pure white." Although the root meaning of mulatto, in Spanish, is "hybrid," "mulatto" came to include the children of unions between whites and so-called "mixed Negroes." For example, Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass, with slave mothers and white fathers, were referred to as mulattoes. To whatever extent their mothers were part white, these men were more than half white. Douglass was evidently part Indian as well, and he looked it. Washington had reddish hair and gray eyes. At the time of the American Revolution, many of the founding fathers had some very light slaves, including some who appeared to be white. The term "colored" seemed for a time to refer only to mulattoes, especially lighter ones, but later it became a euphemism for darker Negroes, even including unmixed blacks. With widespread racial mixture, "Negro" came to mean any slave or descendant of a slave, no matter how much mixed. Eventually in the United States, the terms mulatto, colored, Negro, black, and African American all came to mean people with any known black African ancestry. Mulattoes are racially mixed, to whatever degree, while the terms black, Negro, African American, and colored include both mulattoes and unmixed blacks. These terms have quite different meanings in other countries.
Whites in the United States need some help envisioning the American black experience with ancestral fractions. At the beginning of miscegenation between two populations presumed to be racially pure, quadroons appear in the second generation of continuing mixing with whites, and octoroons in the third. A quadroon is one-fourth African black and thus easily classed as black in the United States, yet three of this person's four grandparents are white. An octoroon has seven white great-grandparents out of eight and usually looks white or almost so. Most parents of black American children in recent decades have themselves been racially mixed, but often the fractions get complicated because the earlier details of the mixing were obscured generations ago. Like so many white Americans, black people are forced to speculate about some of the fractions-- one-eighth this, three-sixteenths that, and so on....
A+J asked a valid question since, not only does the one-drop rule apply to no other group than American blacks, but apparently the rule is unique in that it is found only in the United States and not in any other nation in the world. In fact, definitions of who is black vary quite sharply from country to country, and for this reason people in other countries often express consternation about our definition. James Baldwin relates a revealing incident that occurred in 1956 at the Conference of Negro-African Writers and Artists held in Paris. The head of the delegation of writers and artists from the United States was John Davis. The French chairperson introduced Davis and then asked him why he considered himself Negro, since he certainly did not look like one. Baldwin wrote, "He is a Negro, of course, from the remarkable legal point of view which obtains in the United States, but more importantly, as he tried to make clear to his interlocutor, he was a Negro by choice and by depth of involvement--by experience, in fact."
The phenomenon known as "passing as white" is difficult to explain in other countries. Typical questions are: "Shouldn't Americans say that a person who is passing as white is white, or nearly all white, and has previously been passing as black?" or "To be consistent, shouldn't you say that someone who is one-eighth white is passing as black?" or "Why is there so much concern, since the so-called blacks who pass take so little negroid ancestry with them?" Those who ask such questions need to realize that "passing" is much more a social phenomenon than a biological one, reflecting the nation's unique definition of what makes a person black. The concept of "passing" rests on the one-drop rule and on folk beliefs about race and miscegenation, not on biological or historical fact.
The black experience with passing as white in the United States contrasts with the experience of other ethnic minorities that have features that are clearly non-caucasoid. The concept of passing applies only to blacks--consistent with the nation's unique definition of the group. A person who is one-fourth or less American Indian or Korean or Filipino is not regarded as passing if he or she intermarries and joins fully the life of the dominant community, so the minority ancestry need not be hidden. It is often suggested that the key reason for this is that the physical differences between these other groups and whites are less pronounced than the physical differences between African blacks and whites, and therefore are less threatening to whites. However, keep in mind that the one-drop rule and anxiety about passing originated during slavery and later received powerful reinforcement under the Jim Crow system.
For the physically visible groups other than blacks, miscegenation promotes assimilation, despite barriers of prejudice and discrimination during two or more generations of racial mixing. As noted above, when ancestry in one of these racial minority groups does not exceed one-fourth, a person is not defined solely as a member of that group. Masses of white European immigrants have climbed the class ladder not only through education but also with the help of close personal relationships in the dominant community, intermarriage, and ultimately full cultural and social assimilation. Young people tend to marry people they meet in the same informal social circles. For visibly non-caucasoid minorities other than blacks in the United States, this entire route to full assimilation is slow but possible.
For all persons of any known black lineage, however, assimilation is blocked and is not promoted by miscegenation. Barriers to full opportunity and participation for blacks are still formidable, and a fractionally black person cannot escape these obstacles without passing as white and cutting off all ties to the black family and community. The pain of this separation, and condemnation by the black family and community, are major reasons why many or most of those who could pass as white choose not to. Loss of security within the minority community, and fear and distrust of the white world are also factors.
It should now be apparent that the definition of a black person as one with any trace at all of black African ancestry is inextricably woven into the history of the United States. It incorporates beliefs once used to justify slavery and later used to buttress the castelike Jim Crow system of segregation. Developed in the South, the definition of "Negro" (now black) spread and became the nation's social and legal definition. Because blacks are defined according to the one-drop rule, they are a socially constructed category in which there is wide variation in racial traits and therefore not a race group in the scientific sense. However, because that category has a definite status position in the society it has become a self-conscious social group with an ethnic identity.
The one-drop rule has long been taken for granted throughout the United States by whites and blacks alike, and the federal courts have taken "judicial notice" of it as being a matter of common knowledge. State courts have generally upheld the one-drop rule, but some have limited the definition to one thirty-second or one-sixteenth or one-eighth black ancestry, or made other limited exceptions for persons with both Indian and black ancestry. Most Americans seem unaware that this definition of blacks is extremely unusual in other countries, perhaps even unique to the United States, and that Americans define no other minority group in a similar way. . . .
JANewbies, we must first distinguish racial traits from cultural traits, since they are so often confused with each other. As defined in physical anthropology and biology, races are categories of human beings based on average differences in physical traits that are transmitted by the genes not by blood. Culture is a shared pattern of behavior and beliefs that are learned and transmitted through social communication. An ethnic group is a group with a sense of cultural identity, such as Czech or Jewish Americans, but it may also be a racially distinctive group. A group that is racially distinctive in society may be an ethnic group as well, but not necessarily. Although racially mixed, most blacks in the United States are physically distinguishable from whites, but they are also an ethnic group because of the distinctive culture they have developed within the general American framework. I hope that this answered your question.
