In this way man becomes, as it were, like them in coition, because he cannot moderate concupiscence. This is what Augustine means by the words quoted, which do not exclude intensity of pleasure from the state of innocence, but ardor of desire and restlessness of the mind.

In that state fecundity would have been without lust. Reply to Objection 4.
