And no maximum?
Most people find their own maximum.
Some find it and just leave it faaaar behind them
Remember this scene in Ratatouille where Colette talks about the sordid pasts of the kitchen staff? Now consider that that was bowdlerized for a kids' movie, compared to reality.
TIL "bowdlerize" https://www.englishgrammar.org/bowdlerize-means-sanitize-book/
what a prude, that Thomas Bowdler. Shakespeare was too spicy for him!
Shakespeare's work has a lot of dirty jokes, they're just made with terminology modern English speakers don't know or don't realize was dirty back then.
And some of his lines are overt even to people today, like "What, with my tongue in your tail?" or when he uses a character named Bottom to make a lot of double entendres.
