Commentary for Ketubot 130:7

מיתיבי רשב"ג אומר אוכלת בלילי שבת ושבת בשלמא למ"ד אכילה היינו דקתני ושבת אלא למאן דאמר תשמיש תשמיש בשבת מי איכא והאמר רב הונא ישראל קדושים הן ואין משמשין מטותיהן ביום האמר רבא בבית אפל מותר:

An objection was raised: R. Shimon b. Gamaliel said, “She is to eat with him on the night of the Shabbat and on the Shabbat [day].” This works according to he who said, “[Actual] eating,” that is why it states, “And on the Shabbat [day].” But according to the one who said, “intercourse,” can one have intercourse on the Shabbat day? Did not R. Huna state, Israelites are holy and do not have intercourse in the daytime? But, surely, Rava stated: It is permitted in a dark room.
