“R” was a lanky, skinny, Jewish kid a little taller than 6 feet. I met him through one of those frummie Jewish dating sites, which I trawled whenever bored, desperate to meet someone who understood the wells of forbidden desire inside me…someone who wouldn’t laugh at my Orthodox upbringing or judge me for wanting to abandon it.
I found that in “R.” We weren’t into the same things, but we clicked…. as friends. He liked to confide his deepest secrets in me because he knew that I wouldn’t judge him. In fact, we swapped really naughty adventure stories and shared our deepest sexual fantasies.
I had an extremely curious mind, always wanting to know what the other half lusted for. Having gone to an Orthodox yeshiva, anything relating to exploration of sex was forbidden. I wanted to break the shackles of tradition–stuffy, overanalyzed, restrictive tradition–and I was dying to know how everyone else was breaking those shackles.
G-d never said sex was dirty. In fact, post high school I learned what the rabbis try to hide: you can do anything to please your partner… anything! Anal, oral, role play, BDSM…in service to one’s partner, it was all okay. I couldn’t wait for the day that I had a steady partner of my own to practice on…
Armed with a more humane outlook on sexuality, I was thirsty to learn, explore and share experiences that were considered taboo. And I was lucky to be given an opportunity to expand my tunnel vision once I met my new artsy friend.
One night, “R” shared with me that he loved to wear skinny jeans because the tightness of fabric around his crotch aroused him. My mind went wild and my panties got wet. I wanted to hear more. And he obliged. He told me how he loved being dominated. My ears perked up.

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 rocks. It’s funny, it’s informative, it’s sexy, it’s interesting. Check it out!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Jewrotica is inspiring Jews and erotica with holiness and coolness, and is the pride of progressive Judaism. Jewrotica – awesome!
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!
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!
