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
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!
The people behind Jewrotica are quite quality! I have confidence that any project these folks take on will be equally quality.
Jewrotica rocks. It’s funny, it’s informative, it’s sexy, it’s interesting. Check it out!
Jewrotica is inspiring Jews and erotica with holiness and coolness, and is the pride of progressive Judaism. Jewrotica – awesome!
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’m into Jewrotica. I went in for my second circumcision.
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 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 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.
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.
