Just getting started doing research on slave/master homosexual relations in the antebellum South, and came across your entry. Can you please cite the source(es) for this background on the origin of the term "Porch Monkey"? Any other citations on slave/master homosexual activity would be much appreciated.

It seems clear that many (and I do mean many) white males are obsessed with the genitalia of Black males, either from fear, envy, or repressed desire. I suspect, just as there's a connection between virulently anti-gay bigotry and repressed homosexuality, there's a similar connection between the almost clinically insane hatred of Black males in the South and repressed obsession and desire.
