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 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 a great way to ask interesting questions about the interplay between sensuality and Jewish wisdom. Check it out.
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!
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!
Such an amazing experience! The Sarah Lawrence Jewrotica workshop was more than I could have ever expected – a comfortable, safe, sultry environment where participants clearly felt good about sharing or listening to each other’s intimate experiences and relating them to sexy stories from the Torah. From the moment the workshop began, Ayo had a sweet presence that was kinetic and spread around the room; her storytelling abilities had everyone enraptured and made the conversation topics relata… Read more
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.
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 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’.
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!
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!
