שותה בעציצו

Taken from Wikipedia - "Free Love"

After the October Revolution in Russia, Alexandra Kollontai became the most prominent woman in the Soviet administration. Kollontai was also a champion of free love.

In what may be an apocryphal conversation, she defended free love to Lenin, saying "Love should be free, like drinking water from a glass."

Lenin is supposed to have replied, "but who wants to drink from a soiled glass?
[עי' זוהר אמור דף צ ע"א אלא אתתא איהי כוס דברכה טעמו פגמו]
