It's a joke based on a mistranslation, since "come" in English has the secondary meaning of "achieve orgasm." A Latin speaker wouldn't get the joke, since the Latin verb "venire" doesn't have the same variety of meanings as the English verb. (As your language teacher always said, word-by-word translation doesn't work.)
