From an old Indian text:
"...there came an old, weak, brahmana dressed like a mad man. He was bald-headed; he suffered from asthma; he very much hiccoughed; he was oppressed with hunger. He was oozing saliva, had bent with a brush-like moustache and phlegm and his steps were faltering.
( He was accompanied by ) a girl sixteen years old; she was decorated with all ornaments. She was endowed with form and beauty. She was excellently beautiful in the world. She was looking at men here and there; she was singing, she was dancing, looking at her husband; she was laughing at him.
She troubled her old husband ( saying ): 'O weak, mean man, come quickly. O old man, by supporting your hand constantly, I am afflicted.
Ornaments, garments, fragrances, garlands, unguents, laughter, singing, also drinking, decoration, a good house, affluence in all seasons are for the augmentation of sex only.
Sex alone is the purpose of all desires. If all the pleasures are placed together (on one side) and pleasure of sex remains (i.e. is placed on the other side), and if they are weighed with a balance ( then ) sexual pleasure is a hundred times more ( weighty ).
Then having obtained ( a husband like ) you what will a woman like me do?'".
