Commentary for Yevamot 107:10

אמר רבא נתכוון להטיח בכותל והטיח ביבמתו לא קנה להטיח בבהמה והטיח ביבמה קנה דהא קמכוין לשם ביאה בעולם:

must be in the natural way! — This may be deduced from To raise up unto his brother a name,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. XXV, 7. ');">¹⁷</span> [i.e.,] only where a name is raised up;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' From unnatural intercourse there is no issue and no name, of course, can be raised. ');">²⁶</span> so that the other text<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Deut. XXV, 5. ');">¹¹</span> may be employed for the deduction,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lit., 'comes'. ');">²⁷</span>
