multa videmus enim rebus concurrere debere, ut propagando possint procudere saecla: pabula primum ut sint, genitalia deinde per artus semina qua possint membris manare remissis; feminaque ut maribus coniungi possit, habere mutua qui mutent inter se gaudia uterque.
For we see that living beings need many things in conjunction, so that they may be able by procreation to forge out the chain of the generations: first there must be food, next there must be a way for the life-giving seeds throughout the frame to flow out from the slackened body; and that male and female be joined, they must both have the means to exchange mutual pleasures.
