"You can break a thousand..." Confused by Delany interview.

 So, I was reading his interview with Looking Glass Magazine, and came upon this:

 "But if you are living the way he—or I, for that matter—was living (and he was going from couch to couch, basically paying for his living space, food, drink, and happy to do it, with sex), with two or three sex parties in a week you can break a thousand very quickly, in a month or notably less."

 The paragraph which precedes this suggests that this number is referring either generally to sexual encounters or specifically to swallows, not, as it might seem when taken out of context, money. The problem is, that comes to an average of over thirty-three per day. The tone of the interview doesn't seem obviously sarcastic or humorous, and an average human being only has so many hands, mouths, and orifices (to mention nothing of the number of other things that need to be done throughout the course of a typical day), so what exactly is he talking about? He mentioned sex parties, so could he be counting anyone who's present at such a party as someone with whom he's had sex? I don't mean to suggest any duplicity, especially since he's always seemed very candid and straightforward about everything, but I'm confused! Does anyone else have an opinion on this?
