Not often - it would be very counter-cultural.
However, there was a well-established tradition of the planters' sons gaining their first sexual experience with female house-slaves, since the daughters of those families were so carefully chaperoned.
The black women involved did not especially mind this duty. It bound them closer to the families, and they often became trusted friends of the planters.
One effect, however, was to alienate the male slaves, who were mostly kept out in the field, making them feel like a lower form of life, and watching their womenfolk gaining favours and more-or-less official higher status.

How were slaves branded?
The people who did the branding would tie the slaves wrists behind their back and put there face down on something like a piece of wood or table. They would then heat the piece of metal that had something written on it (what ever the owner wanted the slave to have branded on them). The slave would then be branded on the cheek (or what ever part of the body was chosen.
How were slaves threated under roman laws?
Answer 1: They weren't treated badly, some even stayed with their masters in their own will, although others were treated a little bit worse Slaves were able to buy their freedom and some got released after a long period of service. Answer 2: The slaves of Rome were treated horribly. Look into the slavery uprisings that occurred throughout the history of Rome. The insinuation that there has ever been a fairly treated slave is a miscalculation in ethics and logic, not to mention revisionist history. One such example of the slave uprisings is the Spartacus case (111-71 BCE). Spartacus was a Thracian gladiator, and all gladiators were slaves. Being forced to killed someone for sport is not exactly morally sound or ethical. For more information about the treatment of slaves in Rome look up Gauls Crixus, Oenomaus, Castus, Gannicus, and Roman Republic slave uprisings such as the Third Servile War. Rome perished for a good reason, it lacked a strong constitution that provided for the rights of all men and women along with an appropriate separation/division of powers.
