"But has not a Master said that the heathen like the cattle of Israel better than their [own] wives? — This is their real sentiment, but they think it beneath their dignity to show it."
Babylonian Talmud: Tractate Gittin 38a
"Said Mar 'Ukba b. Hama: Because heathens frequent their neighbours' wives, and should one by chance not find her in, and find the cattle there, he might use it immorally. You may also say that even if he should find her in he might use the animal, as a Master has said: Heathens prefer the cattle of Israelites to their own wives"
