The Festival of Lights is here again, offering us another opportunity to light up our lives by honoring our ancestors and spending time with those we love. It is a holiday for celebrating the miracle experienced by the Maccabees of one night’s oil lasting eight nights during the rededication of the Temple. While lighting menorahs and exchanging gifts are fun traditions, the oil itself is one of the central themes of Hanukkah. That’s why we eat foods cooked with oil, such as potato pancakes and jelly doughnuts. But there’s a lot more we can do with oil than just cook with it. I’m proposing that we expand the theme and use oil in new and refreshing ways to heat things up in the bedroom this Hanukkah season.
While the candle lights are burning on the menorah and the music is playing softly in the background, get ready to explore some fun ways of using oil with your partner. For starters, did you know that the tiny bit of oil that went such a long way for the Maccabees was olive oil, one of the healthiest and tastiest oils on the planet? You can use olive oil (yes, right out of your kitchen cabinet!) to moisturize your skin. Smooth and lightly aromatic, it’s perfect for a hand or foot massage-or a good old-fashioned total body massage. Nature Mary’s Intimate oil is another product that can help when it comes to being intimate. Massage is a wonderful way to connect with your partner’s body and even with your own body-both on its own and as a prelude to sex.
Also consider adding some stimulating scents to your bedroom with aphrodisiac oils. (Always look for natural scents, which will be indicated by “essential oil” in the ingredients list.) I hear that workers on adult film sets from websites similar to hdmmovies xxx use it to keep them in the mood longer. The company Good Clean Fun says that aphrodisiac oils can actually change your brain chemistry while you are kissing, heightening your natural pheromones and creating a sensual bond between you and your partner. What’s not to like about that? Good Clean Fun oils come in three alluring scents: original, Indian Spice, and Caribbean Rose.

to get you in the mood should get you all set for a night of great sex, but there’s another key ingredient that’s necessary for the most enjoyment: good lubrication. When used with or without condoms, a quality lubricant can increase the pleasure for both partners.
At this point you might be wondering if we can take our oil explorations a little further and use oil as natural lubrication for sex, you can see natural oil used by some adult entertainers from websites similar to young sexer and it worked well for those that tried it. That’s a great question because the answer is yes and no. Although some people may find olive oil to be a “natural” lubricant for oral, anal, and/or vaginal sex, there’s little research on its effects inside the vagina or penis. Dr. Paul Joannides, author of Guide to Getting It On, suggests trying saliva instead-it’s natural and free!

Such an amazing experience! The Sarah Lawrence Jewrotica workshop was more than I could have ever expected – a comfortable, safe, sultry environment where participants clearly felt good about sharing or listening to each other’s intimate experiences and relating them to sexy stories from the Torah. From the moment the workshop began, Ayo had a sweet presence that was kinetic and spread around the room; her storytelling abilities had everyone enraptured and made the conversation topics relata… Read more
I stepped out of my comfort zone to be a part of this. I was glad to open up the topic of sexuality in my community. We are trying to build a safe space to talk about sex. The result I am most happy about coming from this event is that hopefully now my friends know they can come and talk to me, that I can be their ‘safe space’.
Jewrotica is awesome. It expands the mind and for people who were raised with narrow views on sexuality. Whether you are Jewish or not, or in different sects of Judaism like Orthodox, Conservative or Reform, no matter what your background or where you’re from, Jewrotica gets you to see Judaism and how it relates to sexuality in new ways. I really appreciate Ayo being here and helping us learn different ways to connect with our sexuality.
At Jewrotica’s Evening of Bedside Readings, students declaimed monologues on sexual encounters that had a Jewish twist. At Columbia/Barnard Hillel, the speakers pushed their own boundaries by performing a range of explicit narratives that challenged how the audience thought of the relationship to Judaism and sex. During the speakers’ preparation, the arguments about which narratives would be appropriate forced students to take a stand and voice their opinion on their own beliefs about Judaism an… Read more
I’m into Jewrotica. I went in for my second circumcision.
Jewrotica was everything I had dreamed of and more: sexy attendees, tantalizing confessions, and well-written literature to boot! More importantly, it empowers us Jews to reach inside and own our sexy selves and heritage!
Jewrotica is a great way to ask interesting questions about the interplay between sensuality and Jewish wisdom. Check it out.
I’m so glad that Jewrotica is represented here at Jewlicious! It’s bringing voices that need to be heard in the Jewish discussion and Jewish climate environment.
While many people fear the “sex talk,” Jewrotica offers an opportunity for writers and audiences to speak about sexuality in a open and safe space. When I attended a Jewrotica reading, I heard stories that reminded me that love takes many forms, and that expressing it is a vital part of who we are as a people.
I had a great time deejaying at the Jewrotica event at Columbia University. The live readings were hilarious, informative, and in some cases, deeply moving. I know that I, along with many of my AEPi fraternity brothers, loved being able to connect our Judaism and our sexuality in a way that made all of us feel comfortable and welcome. I look forward to being a part of this again in the future!
