BENJAMIN FRANKLIN - Tha Plunderer of Paris.

Please cite for me one single quotation where Franklin extols a right to "casual sex" or anything like that.

Then, please cite for me a single reference which proved that Franklin actually had sexual intercourse with any woman while in Paris.

You've apparently never seen his famous advice on choosing older women as mistresses, have you? :)

Benjamin Franklin had a son out of wedlock - William Franklin. He was raised by Benjamin and his commonlaw wife Deborah. Benjamin couldn't marry Deborah because *she* was already married!! And William's son Temple fathered a child out of wedlock by his stepmother's younger sister. Jefferson had Sally Hemmings (who was the half sister of Jefferson's wife Martha - they shared a father.)

Check out the history they didn't teach you in school, lol. It may not have been in Paris but the Founding Fathers weren't necessarily into marital fidelity and monogamy.
