Beyond being “normal”, fantasies can improve your sex life and should be embraced. My fantasy was about loss of control. It allowed me to use my imagination and go places where I couldn’t go in real life and often would never want to actually experience in real life. Forceful sexuality and loss of control are still common themes in my current sexuality, and sometimes that freaks me out.
I have occasionally wondered… if I can only orgasm when thinking about forced situations, is that something that I need to stop or break? Is it… a fetish? But thankfully, I am no longer in a rush to label it. Fantasies are not harming my sex life. If anything, they are making my bedroom a more diverse and exciting place as I continue on this process of self-learning. And people’s tastes change, so maybe this won’t be what ‘does it for me’ in two years, but for now it’s helping and not hurting.
One last note: One of the deleterious effects of porn and westernized sexuality is that if you’re not having mind-blowing grand finale orgasms, you don’t feel “part of the club” and might even feel that there is something wrong with you. So for any women out there who – like me – were late bloomers or think that they are non-orgasmic, don’t give up! Contrary to perpetuated stereotypes, being frum and being sexually liberated don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
Pleasure and sexuality are beautifully complex and orgasm doesn’t have to be the end goal. However, if you have not yet orgasmed but want to, continue to explore your sexuality and be patient with yourself. Practice makes perfect, right?
So, let the conversations begin. Let the fantasies continue. And, Jewrotica, titchadshi!

Celebrating 10 Years & Marking the End of An Amazing Project
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!
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.
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!
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 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!
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!
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!
I attended and participated in last month’s Jewrotica event. The engaging performers and Ayo, our inviting host, inspired the audience to feel like one big community. What a great way to inspire our community to embrace sex as a beautiful thing that can be fun, exciting, sacred, sensual, ridiculous, scary and everything in between!
Jewrotica is inspiring Jews and erotica with holiness and coolness, and is the pride of progressive Judaism. Jewrotica – awesome!
The people behind Jewrotica are quite quality! I have confidence that any project these folks take on will be equally quality.
