One of the disciples of Socrates asked his teacher,"my venerable master kindly, instruct me how many times a house-holder can have copulation with his legal wife?"

Socrates replied, "only once in his life time"

The disciple said, oh my lord! this is absolutely impossible for worldly men. pray kindly prescribe an easy path.

Then Socrates said, "A house-holder can have copulation once in a year".

The disciple replied, "O venerable sir, this is also a hard job for them. you must prescribe an easier course."

Socrates then replied, well my dear disciple, once in a month. This is the suitable. This is the quite easy i think you're satisfied now. "

The disciple said, this is also impossible my revere master. house-holder are very fickle minded. Please prescribe an easier course.

Socrates said," Twice in a month. But this will cause an early death. "

The disciple said," This also is impossible, for they cannot remain for a single day without sexual intercourse."

Then Socrates said, " well said my dear child. Do one thing now. dig a grave and purchase a coffin and winding sheet for the corpse before hand. Now you can spoil yourself any number you like, this is my final advice to you. "

This last advice pierced the heart of the disciples, he thought over the matter seriously and understood the importance and glory of brahamacharya.
