Dear Jewrotica,
I come from a mostly secular upbringing and lifestyle. I feel a deep, personal connection to Judaism, nevertheless I am accepting of the fact that the kind of Jewish communities where I would feel entirely at home probably don’t exist. I have been moving toward a greater degree of observance and have been seeking a congregation that is at least close enough to what I need. I thought I had found it at a modern orthodox congregation in the suburbs of a major metropolitan area, but apparently I had not.
The general consensus among “off the derech” types in this area is that there is a high degree of correlation between sexual repression and observance. So I’m not doing myself any favors hanging out to the right of “traditional” conservadoxy. As a reasonably well-educated student of Marxist critiques of the contemporary capitalist paradigm, and an environmentalist who struggles to keep from seeing suburbia as a hopelessly lost cause, I’m seeing how commodity fetishism is so pervasive in suburbia, and that yes, indeed, sexual repression among these suburban modern orthodoxists is not only problematic but may make it impossible to meet and successfully woo an appropriate mate.
Moreover, there are practical issues such as positions. I find 69 an excellent method of simultaneously giving and receiving pleasure. It’s a tremendously communicative position when with the right partner. But according to halacha, it’s not kosher, right?
My penis bends downward, so even though the missionary position is fine for me both physically and for face-to-face emotional connection, it ain’t gonna be hittin’ much for her. Doggy style has always been good for the women I’ve been with, and it’s great for when the need is for a good, physical fuck but not so great for when there’s more of a romantic, love-making mood in the air.
Is kosher sex always limited to those positions in which the male ejaculates in the vagina and nowhere else?

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’.
I’m into Jewrotica. I went in for my second circumcision.
The people behind Jewrotica are quite quality! I have confidence that any project these folks take on will be equally quality.
Jewrotica is inspiring Jews and erotica with holiness and coolness, and is the pride of progressive Judaism. Jewrotica – awesome!
I’m Heshy Fried from Frum Satire and I am very, very frum. And I completely support Jewrotica – it’s doing a service to the frum community. We need some sort of kosher sexual education. Jewrotica even has a system that allows frum filters to filter out certain things to make it PG for us. It’s mamish Torah. It’s like The Little Midrash Says for sex.
I love the inclusiveness – there is something for everyone, in and out of the Jewish community.
You may not tell your mom that you’re going to a live Jewrotica reading (or whatever clever name you will dub these events) but you will tell your friends. However, both would be jealous if they find out that they missed it. I think it will only be a matter of time before Jewrotica helps us reclaim the term “Dirty Jew” the way rap music has done for “The ‘N’ Word.” I know I am now proud to be a Dirty Jew!
My opinion on Jewrotica is: It’s sexy. It’s awesome. It’s Judaism to the next level. It’s what we should all be getting into!
The Jewrotica event “Evening of Jewrotica: Bedside Reading” was awesome. As Master of Confessions, I got to read the deepest, darkest secrets of people in the room out loud… It was scintillating, titillating, and – yes – even educational!
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.
