This is based on the Biblical New Testament story where Thomas, one of the apostles of Christ, refused to believe that Jesus had risen from the grave without seeing evidence. On seeing this evidence, he praised those who believed without proof.
Typically this phrase is used in a midly derogatory. It describes someone who refuse to simply believe in something out of pure faith without asking for evidence. A devout Christian might consider me to be a doubting thomas because I don't believe there is a God since there's no evidence. The Christian considers it a bad thing that I'm not simply willing to have some faith.

Fanatic: How can you not believe in God? You don't want to be a doubting thomas?
Athiest: Normal people don't consider it a bad thing when others ask for proof when they make extraordinary claims. If I said that I am Zrlak, King of Mars, I would have little respect for you if you believed me without asking for evidence yet you expect me to just believe your equally ridiculous claims?

I had black doubt about whether or not I actually danced on the bar last night.
"Dude did you hook up with that chick last night?"
"I'm not sure, I'm having some black doubt."

Dick doubts are when you want to break up with a girl, but you have dick "sexual" doubts about the consequences of your breakup. If you break up with her then you will not be able to get the sexual satisfaction you desire. Also know as your penis controling your brain.
