sutta AN 1:1
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HaZhjIay3s [1] This have I heard: On one
occasion the Blessed One was living near Savatthi, in Jeta's park, staying
in Anathapindika's monastery. There indeed the Exalted One called upon the
Bhikkhus: 'Bhikkhus!'. 'Venerable Sir!' answered the Bhikkhus. The Blessed
One then explained this: Bhikkhus, I see no other single form, that even so keeps captivating a man's mind as the form of a woman. The male mind, Bhikkhus, remains obsessed with the female form. Bhikkhus, I perceive no other single sound, that even so remains entrancing a man's mind as the sound of a woman. The male mind, Bhikkhus, remains overwhelmed by the female voice. Bhikkhus, I know of no other
single smell, that even so persists tempting a man's mind as the fragrance
of a woman. The male mind, Bhikkhus, remains enslaved by the female scent.[2] Bhikkhus, I cannot think of any
other single taste, that even so continues to entice a man's mind as the flavour
of a woman. The male mind, Bhikkhus, remains ensnared by the female savour. Bhikkhus, I cannot comprehend
any other single touch, that even so keeps overpowering a man's mind as the
soft touch of a woman. The male mind, Bhikkhus, remains addicted to the female
sensation. Bhikkhus, I see no other single
form, that even so keeps captivating a woman's mind as the form of a man.
The female mind, Bhikkhus, remains obsessed with the male form. Bhikkhus, I perceive no other
single sound, that even so remains entrancing a woman's mind as the sound
of a man. The female mind, Bhikkhus, remains dominated by the male voice. Bhikkhus, I know of no other
single smell, that even so persists tempting a woman's mind as the fragrance
of a man. The female mind, Bhikkhus, remains enslaved by the male scent. Bhikkhus, I cannot think of any
other single taste that even so continues to entice a woman's mind as the
flavor of a man. The female mind, Bhikkhus, remains ensnared by the male savor. Bhikkhus, I comprehend no other
single touch, that even so keeps overpowering a woman's mind as the touch
of a man. The female mind, Bhikkhus, remains addicted to the male sensation.
