“In the 1790s, more than a century before the invention of modern dating culture, an underground sexual economy flourished on a scale almost unimaginable today. Men, whether they were married or not, enjoyed wide sexual latitude: they could often pursue an active sexual double life without incident. Women, on the other hand, faced a stark contrast between sexual respectability and social ruin.”
