Calisto questions if consummating his desires was worth the fight. He is aware of what this love has done to himself- all that he has lost and changed in order to have it. He find it fulfilling overall, but he is probably left with an even bigger burden. Though he is completely sexually satisfied, this does not seem to be the "problem," the problem is wanting more. So, though he is almost ashamed of his happiness, he embraces it. however,he is not as fulfil ed as he expected. Once he has gotten a taste of Melibea's love, he wants the whole thing (or, more). As a whole, this reflects human desire. Human beings can never be satisfied with what they have- it is what we cannot have, what he hope for and what we want the drive us. Though he is disillusioned by what he wants out of her, sex, he realizes it is not enough at all.
