Her proposal was for women to be allowed to enjoy their surplus passions with men other than their husbands.

From Boccaccio's "Tale of Filippa" from the Decameron

Throw it to the dogs? Isn't it far better to let it give enjoyment to some gentleman who loves me more than his life, than to let it go to waste or ruin?"
