Presidential analysis by Shayna Abramson. Shayna, an experienced Jewrotica writer, is the author of Kiruv.
Mitt Romney is quite the ladies’ man. Leaving aside his sexy CEO-look (talk about power-play in the bedroom: Oh Mittens, I’ve been unprofitable this quarter. Do you need a spanking? Let me see your dividends), he also has his Mormon code of ethics working in his favor: Not only do you know he is a man of values, but also, when he tells you you’re beautiful, you know it’s not just the wine talking – he actually means it. He also cares very deeply about many important issues, such as balancing the budget, creating jobs, and increasing American prestige abroad. Just don’t expect him to stuff too many bills down your g-string, unless he has a good, hard surplus.
Barack Obama’s main drawback for many female voters is that he is married to Michelle Obama, and thus, alas, unavailable. (Girls, a word of advice: Don’t try duking it out with the first lady. She’ll win.) This handsome intellectual feels comfortable serenading America, or shooting hoops on the basketball court – and he brews his own beer. Plus, as a supporter of bills like the Lilly Ledbetter act, he’d probably let you be on top – and what could be more classic than the whole “Let me give you a raise” shtick? In addition to singing and beer-brewing, the president also cares deeply about many important issues, such as balancing the budget, creating jobs, and increasing American prestige abroad.
Yes, you read that correctly: If you don’t believe me, just check out the “issues” section of each candidate’s website. Try counting the differences. Take a swig of vodka for each difference you see. Don’t worry, you’ll still be sober enough to drive to the voting booth afterwards – and remember, whoever you vote for, you are participating in the wonderful mechanisms of the American democracy, that allows me to air silly fantasies like this one.
Thanks, First Amendment – because nothing is sexier than free speech.

Celebrating 10 Years & Marking the End of An Amazing Project
Learning about sex and what’s right and wrong when it comes to sex from a Biblical standpoint was an eye opening experience. I completely enjoyed it and think something like this could be a very cool thing to bring to even high school aged Jewish youth groups.
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 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’.
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 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.
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
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!
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!
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!
