Journal Article
Reconsidering Libertines and Early Modern Heterosexuality: Sex and American Founder Gouverneur Morris
2013
Overview
The companionate marital model, infused with sentiment and sensibility, centered on love, intimacy, and the bond of husband and wife, with sexual intimacy as the ultimate expression of that love.1 Libertines were unabashedly antimarriage, boasted loudly about their exploits, focused purely on physical pleasure, and wielded their power over vulnerable women and girls through seduction and abandonment. Morris is an obvious candidate for such an approach because he cannot be understood if he is confined within national borders and restricted to national histories of sexuality.6 As an elite man based in the urban settings of Philadelphia and New York, Morris was privy to a world of print and developing sexual subcultures that embraced illicit sexual activity.
