Question #2: What would you most like to get or be surprised with on Valentine’s Day?
Ayo: I really don’t want any surprises this year. However, about two weeks ago, I began intensive training at an acrobatics and aerial arts studio in Austin. When I haven’t been working my butt off on Jewrotica, I’ve been hanging upside down on the trapeze, climbing up ceiling-high silks and suspending partners on the lyra. All of this makes me very excited for my Valentine’s Day plans, which are a Dessert and Body Work party courtesy of Austin’s acroyoga and Thai massage community. Dessert, massage, a wonderful circle of friends and no hyped-up romance or drama? Now that sounds yummy.
Tamar: Last year my partner had fancy chocolates sent to me at work on Valentine’s Day, which was a total surprise and awesome. That said, I was very careful not to crow about it on social media, or anywhere, because while I love chocolate, I still think V-Day is a stupid capitalist exercise, and basically hate it. But I will accept fancy chocolate at any point, because it is lovely.
Larisa: Nothing.. it’s a made-up day.
Limor: My own “300 tips for better sex” book in Hebrew… Not sure how I feel about it, given the fact I was robbed out of my rights to it by my trustworthy publisher way back…
Leora: Just don’t get flowers and candy. Show me that you really care by using this ridiculously commercial holiday as an excuse to get me a thoughtful, personal gift. For example, instead of a teddy bear, how about some furry handcuffs in my favorite color?
Karalyn: To be honest, I’m not into sappy romance like red roses or fake symbols of love that don’t really mean much, but I would never say no to a romantic dinner out, some sexy lingerie, a new sex toy, or even just a really good cup of coffee.
David: I’m single right now, so, you know, what can I possibly expect? Man I’d be happy if someone just showed up and scratched my back for five minutes. In fact, they can show up any time to do that. I really love having my back scratched, what can I say?

Celebrating 10 Years & Marking the End of An Amazing Project
Jewrotica is something that the community has needed for a long time so that people can actually learn, express and share and have good relationships without having to stumble through life. Check out the site and learn something. Have fun!
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!
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.
What an incredible night Jewrotica was!!!! There was this fantastic moment, in a sea of Jews of all sexualities, ages, backgrounds and denominations, that I realized we were all in this together! I hope that there are many more events coming to Austin soon!
The people behind Jewrotica are quite quality! I have confidence that any project these folks take on will be equally quality.
Bedside Reading with Jewrotica was funny, sexy, and hot all at once. The readings were honest about all kinds of sexuality, but the highlight of the evening was definitely the confessions, written by audience participants. Nobody knew who wrote them, and most were tell-alls that would make your bubbe blush. Unless your bubbe was very, very cool. Then maybe she’d make YOU blush!
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!
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.
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!
