'If once our carnal appetites are let loose, without those prudent and secure guides [of virtue and religion], there is no excess and disorder which they are not liable to commit, even while they pursure their natural satisfaction; and, which may seem still more strange, there is nothing monstrous and unnatural, which they are not capable of inventing, nothing so brutal and shocking which they have not actually committed.'Henry Fielding, The Female Husband (1746)
