Dear Friend dkatryl.16,000 is *probably* an embellishment.
After all, i'll be generous and say let's assume he bangs 1-2 different ladies *every* 24 hours. Any day that he doesn't bang at least one, he has to make up for it in the next 24 hour period.
16000 / 365 = 43.8356, or 44 years
half that for 2/day:
43.8356 / 2 = 21.918, or 22 years.
So anywhere between 22-44 years to visit everyone in the harem with no skipped days.
Now, let's also be generous and assume he was able to assemble the harem and start this process at 20. Two a day for a 20yo? Sure.
But 22 years later puts him at 42yo. Two a day, every day? Never a day of pushing rope because you just needed a day off to recharge your batteries?
Remember, this would have been long before dick pills, so all that banging had to just be under his own steam power!
So at some point, only one a day will be more feasible, so that could push it out as far as 64yo.
[TL;DR: It was probably more likely that guy had a heart attack before he could bang every lady in a harem of 16,000!
Hell, he might have had the heart attack *because* he tried to bang them all!]
I hope that while you read these lines you feel well in body and soul.
How much your detailed evidentiary calculations have amused me.
Yes, the Jataka is a text from the 6th century BC. Its value as a historical source is not found in the exhaustive documentation of specific data, but in the fields of philology and knowledge of the aspirations and mythologies of humanity at that time. Surely the number of 16,000 women is exaggerated. But, look, reaching the 19th century, we have the most documented example of Mongkut (Rama IV), king of Siam known from the film "The King and I", 1956, starring Yul Brynner and Deborah Kerr. His harem housed 9,000 women in a purpose-built walled city called Nang Harm, “Veiled Women.”
In reality, it must be taken into account that a great harem is not only made up of wives, concubines or slaves dedicated to sex, it must also include a small army of women in charge of all types of functions: dancers, singers, reciters, musicians, readers, translators, teachers, nannies, bedroom maids, midwives, girls on duty in the bathrooms, cooks, laundresses and scullery maids. A whole world.
Receives a warm greeting.
