Spring is in the air, and so are my ankles…so that means it’s that time of year again. No, not the time for me to focus on getting my groove back, but for yours truly to publicly ogle and compile my list of the sexiest Black male celebrities.

Creating a list like this is never easy, primarily because there’s so many wonderful men that should be included.

I worked tirelessly to present the perfect list, and—after some hard sweats, heart palpitations and a few cocktails—I’m confident that I have succeeded.

In a world that likes to give Brothas a bad rap, I salute you, honor you, and give thanks for each and every single one of you—all flavors, shapes, and sizes. This list of chocolate goodness is sure to give someone, other than me, a cavity.
