यदि पुंसां गतिर्ब्रह्मन्कथंचिन्नोपपद्यते ॥ अप्यन्योन्यं प्रवर्तन्ते न च तिष्ठन्ति भर्तृषु ॥ २६ ॥

O brahmin, if women do not get men for their dalliance they begin to indulge in abnormal sexual activity with one another. They do not stand by their husbands.

english translation

अलाभात्पुरुषाणां च भयात्परिजनस्य च ॥ वधबन्धभयाच्चैव ता भग्नाशा हि योषितः ॥ २७॥

Women become desperate when they do not get men, when they are afraid of servants, when they are frightened of being killed or imprisoned.

english translation

चलस्वभाव दुश्चेष्टा दुर्गाह्या भवतस्तथा॥ प्राज्ञस्य पुरुषस्येह यथा रतिपरिग्रहात् ॥ २८॥

Because they indulge in sexual intercourse as they please they are fickle-minded, of evil deeds and emotionally incomprehensible even to an intelligent man.

english translation

नाग्निस्तुष्यति काष्ठानां नापगानां महोदधि ॥ नान्तकस्सर्वभूतानां न पुंसां वामलोचनाः ॥ २९ ॥

Fire is not satiated with the logs of wood it consumes; the ocean is not satiated with the rivers that flow into it. The god of death is not satiated with the living beings he kills and women are not satiated with the number of men they cohabit with.

english translation

इदमन्यच्च देवर्षे रहस्यं सर्वयोषिताम् ॥ दृष्ट्वैव पुरुषं सद्यो योनिः प्रक्लिद्यते स्त्रियाः ॥ ३०॥

O excellent sage, there is another secret of all women that immediately on seeing a man their vaginal passage begins to exude slimy secretions.
