As for Judaism’s rules about sex which, she so derisively
dismisses, the interesting thing is this: Judaism has almost no rules
about sex, something I highlighted at length in my book Kosher Sex.
Every position and every pleasurable interaction is allowed. Indeed,
about the only things that are forbidden are pornography, because you’re
being excited by strangers and not each other; and having sex during
menstruation, because Judaism wants the “erotic barrier” of sexual
forbiddenness of several days each month to magnify lust and desire.
Husbands and wives need a period of sexual separation in order to hunger
for each other’s bodies again.
Indeed, the Orthodox Jewish marriage is based far more on lust than love, a point easily demonstrated by the 10th commandment. It expressly forbids lusting after your neighbor’s wife, which by direct implication means you sure as heck ought to be lusting after your own.

ReplyDeleteSo more lies from the kiruv folks.
There are a lot of recommendations but they are not laws or rules.
ReplyDeleteWhy are saying that he is lying? see Nedarim 20b.
When can you have sex? Who can you have sex with?
ReplyDeleteAnd since when do we leave "recommendations" as just that?
Don't you recall your essay on how the Chofetz Chayyim took a bunch of recommendations and now we have all these laws about loshon horo?
Someone needs to calm down.
