When a host offered his guests food, he first apologized that it was not fit to eat. They believed that human beings could be trusted in all relationships except the sexual, consequently could not understand ideas of faithful marriages. Hunters exchanged wives freely, often committed adultery, but never without asking permission of the husband. Husbands were also amused and puzzled when white sailors sneaked around their igloos, for they considered themselves honored if other men desired their wives. These frigid Puritans...
