Dear Jewrotica,
I come from a mostly secular upbringing and lifestyle. I feel a deep, personal connection to Judaism, nevertheless I am accepting of the fact that the kind of Jewish communities where I would feel entirely at home probably don’t exist. I have been moving toward a greater degree of observance and have been seeking a congregation that is at least close enough to what I need. I thought I had found it at a modern orthodox congregation in the suburbs of a major metropolitan area, but apparently I had not.
The general consensus among “off the derech” types in this area is that there is a high degree of correlation between sexual repression and observance. So I’m not doing myself any favors hanging out to the right of “traditional” conservadoxy. As a reasonably well-educated student of Marxist critiques of the contemporary capitalist paradigm, and an environmentalist who struggles to keep from seeing suburbia as a hopelessly lost cause, I’m seeing how commodity fetishism is so pervasive in suburbia, and that yes, indeed, sexual repression among these suburban modern orthodoxists is not only problematic but may make it impossible to meet and successfully woo an appropriate mate.
Moreover, there are practical issues such as positions. I find 69 an excellent method of simultaneously giving and receiving pleasure. It’s a tremendously communicative position when with the right partner. But according to halacha, it’s not kosher, right?
My penis bends downward, so even though the missionary position is fine for me both physically and for face-to-face emotional connection, it ain’t gonna be hittin’ much for her. Doggy style has always been good for the women I’ve been with, and it’s great for when the need is for a good, physical fuck but not so great for when there’s more of a romantic, love-making mood in the air.
Is kosher sex always limited to those positions in which the male ejaculates in the vagina and nowhere else?

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!
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’m into Jewrotica. I went in for my second circumcision.
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!
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 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!
The people behind Jewrotica are quite quality! I have confidence that any project these folks take on will be equally quality.
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 rocks. It’s funny, it’s informative, it’s sexy, it’s interesting. Check it out!
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!
