Socrates: “Only once in his life.”
Husband: “But if that fails to satisfy him?”
Socrates: “Then he can have copulation once a year.”
Husband: “But if that too doesn’t satisfy him?”
Socrates: “Then let it be once a month.”
Husband: “And if he is still not satisfied?”
Socrates: “Then let it be twice a month, but this will cause an early death.”
Husband: “What should he do if he is not satisfied with that either?”
Socrates: “Well then, do it this way. Dig a grave, purchase a coffin and a shroud for yourself beforehand, then you may spoil yourself as many times as you wish. This is my final advice to you.”
