Friends,
I love receiving your feedback and we as a team are working hard to incorporate your suggestions.
In addition to rolling out new content vehicles like Dear Jewrotica and Sex with Jewrotica (an educational series to be launched next week), we have made changes to the ways that you can view pieces on the site.
Each Jewrotica story can be opened in a multi-page view for those who like to pause during long stories and “bookmark” where they’re at, as well as a single-page view for those readers who prefer to read the entire piece on one page. To access the single page option, scroll to the bottom of the piece (below the Continue Reading link) and click on the Single Page link.
We have also made improvements that will allow you to more fully participate in the site. You can now rate pieces on a scale of 1-10 stars and choose your experience through the PG, PG-13, R or XXX customization settings.
I also received a request for anonymous commenting capabilities. In light of this, we recently migrated our comments from the Facebook system to Disqus. While we hope our readers will feel comfortable commenting under their true identities and through their Facebook profiles, we understand the need for flexibility in this area. Our Facebook page is always hopping and is a great place to start, but I encourage you to join us in creating a lively conversation under whatever name you see fit right here on Jewrotica.
Lastly, we made a team decision to take on a new posting rhythm. We at Jewrotica will be taking a break on weekends and not posting on Shabbat. However, that rest time will definitely pay off as we will be serving up one or two delicious pieces of original Jewrotica content every weekday. So, take the time to miss us on the weekends but be sure to check back often during the week!
Future improvements that we’re working on include a way to sort pieces by star rating (so that you can instantly view the most popular pieces) as well as offering a print-friendly view for each piece (so that Sabbath-observant readers can print our content for Shabbat reading, per an email request).
Do you love these changes and improvements to Jewrotica? Want to tell us how great we are for listening? 🙂 Do you have ideas for other improvements? Or thoughts about what other functionalities you would like to see incorporated into the site? Speak up, my friends, speak up!
With that, I wish each of you a wonderful and tasty Thanksgiving filled with gratitude and love. I am thankful for your belief in this site, your participation in this community and your feedback!
Light and Love,

Jewrotica is a great way to ask interesting questions about the interplay between sensuality and Jewish wisdom. Check it out.
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
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.
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.
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!
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!
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 into Jewrotica. I went in for my second circumcision.
