‘Yes boss, I’m on the mic
I’ll try to give you what you like
I can be soft, I can be hard
Let me do the B part, please. Please.’
Hess Is More – ‘Yes Boss’
“No, you can’t do that, Nathan Ghaiman,” Aviva said to her husband over the phone, her forbidding tone and use of his full name indicating trouble. “You can’t just decide that by yourself. There are regular channels to do these things.”
A pause.
“Yeah, whatever, bye.” She hung up the phone, exasperated, then looked at Deborah, who was sitting in front of her, and smiled.
“You must think I’m a monster,” Aviva said. “But someone has to organize this company. Otherwise, it’s chaos all over!”
Deborah didn’t think her boss was a monster, actually– quite the opposite. She enjoyed when Aviva fought with her husband, not because she didn’t like him, but because she liked her. A lot. Aviva fighting with her husband–and with anyone, for that matter–was just plain sexy. She was glorious when pissed off.
Deborah had been working with the Ghaimans less than a month, and she was already falling for her boss. She had this annoying habit of falling in love with anybody that held any authority over her: bosses, rabbis, teachers, you name it, but it usually took a little more time. She was falling in love with Aviva far earlier than expected.
“…and I swear I will kill him one of these days if he keeps up like this. He is so stubborn! I don’t think– Hey, Deborah! Are you listening? God, you are just like him!” Aviva complained, and dove back to her computer.
Deborah jumped out of her seat, raised her eyes from her boss’ bosom and nodded with conviction, trying with all her might not to blush, but Aviva had stopped paying attention to her long before.
Off limits. So very off limits, she thought while composing herself.
Of course Deborah was just like Aviva’s husband. Nathan would die for her without even blinking, and the way he stared at her with those moony eyes and that lopsided smile made you believe in love… even after all those years of marriage. Deborah understood the poor Nathan far too well; Aviva was captivating in every possible way.
Deborah was now going through the absolute and undeniable infatuation phase. Smitten by Aviva’s every move, every word, every outfit, Deborah was classifying and archiving all the information she could gather about her tantalizing boss.
Aviva lingered in every one of Deborah’s thoughts. She wasn’t alarmed, though–she was used to it. Give it a few weeks, maybe months, and everything would go back to normal, including her hormones.

Celebrating 10 Years & Marking the End of An Amazing Project
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’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.
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!
I love the inclusiveness – there is something for everyone, in and out of the Jewish community.
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.
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!
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!
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
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!
Jewrotica is awesome. It expands the mind and for people who were raised with narrow views on sexuality. Whether you are Jewish or not, or in different sects of Judaism like Orthodox, Conservative or Reform, no matter what your background or where you’re from, Jewrotica gets you to see Judaism and how it relates to sexuality in new ways. I really appreciate Ayo being here and helping us learn different ways to connect with our sexuality.
