This confessional was inspired by the song “88 lines about 44 Women” by The Nails. The song appeared on the band’s 1984 album “Mood Swings” and peaked at #46 on the US dance chart in March of 1985. The song still appears on compilations and was remastered and re-released in 2009. While the song’s references to masturbation and S&M are a bit risqué, I always enjoyed the idea of writing an homage to the women in your past.
My version is more like 120 lines about 60 women, and it has no rhyme or cadence. But keep in mind that Campbell originally wrote this in the late 70s when he was much younger (19), and he still had 44 women to write about. I’m about 15 years older than Marc was when he wrote the song, so I don’t think that 60 makes me a man whore. Or maybe it does. Sue me, I’m anonymous.
I tagged every paragraph here with a single relevant fact related to how or where we met and whether or not the woman in question was Jewish. In that respect, I suppose this list demonstrates the influence of Judaism and Israel on my life so far. I don’t claim to be representative of my generation, but I can tell you that if my father ever put together a list like this, it would be a lot different. And that’s an understatement. I think when I finally settle down, it will be with someone Jewish, but you never know.
Beyond that, all the names have been changed to protect the innocent, and, primarily, to protect me. Some of these women are fierce! What I can reveal are the following statistical facts. The age range between the youngest and the oldest woman listed is approximately 27 years. Of these women, 11 are natural blonds and 6 are natural red heads. Forty-two are Jewish and 18 are not.
Of the Jewish women at least three are now married and ultra-Orthodox and at least 12 are in a relationship with or married to non-Jews. There are only 4 Asians among the 18 non-Jewish women. Of the 60 women listed, at least 9 now have children. Only 4 did not complete or attend college, 21 have advanced degrees and 3 have a PhD. All, as far as I know, are alive and well and I wish them the best.

Celebrating 10 Years & Marking the End of An Amazing Project
Celebrating 10 Years & Marking the End of An Amazing Project
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’.
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 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.
I love the inclusiveness – there is something for everyone, in and out of the Jewish community.
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.
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!
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!
Jewrotica rocks. It’s funny, it’s informative, it’s sexy, it’s interesting. Check it out!
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!
