“One of the more astonishing things about our modern immoralities is the identification we have sought to create between sexual laxity on the one hand and ‘openness and honesty’ on the other. This is one of the central lies, which is the desire to detach lying as a way of life from adultery. According to the drill, those who are faithful are repressed hypocrites, living a life of lies. The sexual libertine is frank, disarming, open, and all the rest of it. But the opposite is the case. Adulterers lie and faithful men tell the truth” (Fidelity, pp. 60-61).
