When taken to a brothel in Havana by his friend Cardoza y Aragon, Lorca looked at the pictures of females and asked "Why aren't there any boys?" <ref>Leslie Stainton, ''Lorca - a Dream of Life,'' Bloomsbury, 2013.</ref> In Spain, Lorca used to attend parties at the home of his homosexual friend Vicente Aleixandre where along with the music and cocktails there were various young boys for the homosexual guests to enjoy.

Many of Lorca's poems hint at the same theme. In his "Ode to Walt Whitman" homosexual men give boys drops of "poison" hinting at pederasty <ref>Ángel Sahuquillo, ''Federico Garcia Lorca and the Culture of Male Homosexuality,'' English translation McFarland, 2007, p.54, p. 211.</ref>

In Lorca’s play ''El Público'' (1930) a Roman Emperor sexually assaults a small boy. <ref>''Lorca: Three Plays:'' translated by Gwynne Edwards. London: Methuen, 1994, Scene Two p.71.</ref>  The play is an obscene travesty of ''Romeo and Juliet,'' and it features whipping, bestiality, and a wide range of other fetishism as well as solemn soliloquies about a man’s anus and speculations about how enjoyable it would be to watch Romeo urinating (a fetish shared by many other homosexuals). The dialogue makes casual reference to a woman being “raped by a dog” and holds this up as superior to the conventional behavior of Shakespeare’s ''Romeo and Juliet''. Lorca’s imagination also offers us images such as “embroidering on the fingernails of a baby”.
