I would bet most wealthy slave owners fooled around with the slaves they owned back then. It surprises me that such a thing surprises anyone. Some owners whipped and mutilated slaves and likely enslaved and sold their own offspring. Just as today, history is not always pretty. We tend to look fondly at things we thought were good and forget the rest.

Anybody remember the mini-series Roots? There were what were referred to by the term "belly warmers" used by the slave ship's officers for entertainment on the long voyages back home. It could have just been artistic license on the part of the writers, but I'm betting it has some basis in truth.
