Commentary for Berakhot 43:17
מאן דתני שנאה משום בטול תורה ומשום בטול פריה ורביה ומאן דתני לחשה שלא יהו תלמידי חכמים מצויים אצל נשותיהם כתרנגולים
He who states that he taught it, because of the nullifying of Torah and procreation ; he who states that he whispered it, so that disciples of the wise should not be constantly found in the company of their wives like cocks [with the hens].
