Forget your sex obsession: "black body" was an established term long 
before 1905. Newton wrote "Do not black Bodies conceive heat more 
easily from Light than those of other Colours do, by reason that the 
Light falling on them is not reflected outwards, but enters into the 
Bodies, and is often reflected and refracted within them, until it be 
stifled and lost?"
