All of the options listed above were ways in which the sexuality of black people in Canada was controlled during the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Slave owners had control over which slaves were allowed to form intimate relationships with whom, with female slaves being particularly valued for their reproductive capacities. Certain male slaves were also selected as "studs" to impregnate female slaves. Additionally, laws (such as the 1835 Marriage Act in Upper Canada) prohibited free blacks from marrying outside of their race, limiting their sexual choices and freedoms. All of these factors contributed to the control and suppression of black sexuality within the dominant sexual culture of the time.
