Those curls really do it for me. No joke! Is it true that Orthodox couples cut a hole in the sheet to have sex? I could work that into my fantasies somehow; it's almost like a gloryhole.
No, they do not cut holes in the sheets. According to Talmud, nothing must come between a married couple in their physical intimacy. Sex is not something dirty in Judaism.
you just described something very awful.. how can you be alright with this?
I deleted impulse300 entry as it dealt with incest and sex with a minor. The situation will be dealt with directly when the system is working properly.

Thank you I'm sorry I did not make that clear!I think you should make clear, lest you leave a false impression among people who never saw the messages that have been deleted, that Impulse300 did NOT write about such things: he merely quoted and commented on a message by another member which did deal with such matters.
Not according to this book:
The Hole in the Sheet: A Modern Woman Looks at Orthodox and Hasidic Judaism: Evelyn Kaye
It's been years since I read it (I don't own a copy), but as I recall, she quotes the pertinent passages from the Shulchan Aruch that require couples to separate themselves with a sheet.
Did you read what you quoted from me?:Please cite the passage, if possible.

That was never at issue. Any religion that had a prohibition on sex would die out with its founders, unless they could keep winning converts. So I assume you are speaking of relative and not absolute prohibitions. But as I understand, Orthodox Judaism does prohibit sexual relations between parties who are not married to each other. And even if they are married, once the woman has begun her menstrual period, her husband literally cannot touch her until she has been to the ritual bath seven days after her period has ended. So there are prohibitions even within marriage.Judaism has no prohibition on sex.
You mean a married couple (consisting of a man and a woman, of course).A couple can have sex for whatever reason they want.
Well, maybe that Kaye woman was full of shit. All the reviews on the Amazon page trash her book. Headings: "A biased, negative book"; "Thank God it's out of print"; "It's not true." Here is a passage that seems to me to give a plausible account of what is wrong with the book, if it really is as untruthful as all that:They're encouraged to enjoy sex just for its pleasure. There's no Christian guilt or asceticism. Talmud states that nothing must come between a man and woman having sex. Most Orthodox interpret this to mean everything from sheets, to jewelry, to condoms. In the Orthodox bedroom, the woman has a right to enjoy her husband's body as she see pleases. Same for the husband.
And here's Snopes on the subject. Case closed.
I heard recently that they are freaky in bed. The women do not know much about sex before marriage and the men tell them that many freaky things are normal. I've also heard that it is a wife's duty to please her husband in the Jewish tradition.
I've always wanted to meet a nice Jewish boy. I don't know why...
I've seen some very handsome Hasidic men. I just wish they didn't have to be bearded. The clothes aren't exactly sexy, but there's nevertheless something attractive about their committment to a faith, tradition, and community that lies outside the mainstream.
The Chasidic cult and a nice Jewish boy are two completely different folks.
My middle son got tangled up with the Chabad Lubavichers in Los Angeles.
He went the whole route, dropped out of UCLA, did the curly cues, beard, hat, zistis, black outfit. He dropped his gorgeous Phi Beta Kappa girlfriend (born of a Catholic Mother and Reform Jewish father) and wanted to Kosher my home with seperate dishes, milk refrigerator, meat refrigerator, in short he turned into a pious fool. The Chasidim pray and schnorr. Are a big problem in Israel, they don't work and exempt themselves from the Army.
MONSEY, NY for its population of Severely Orthodox Jewish folks, has the largest welfare burden in the entire state.
I hope you meet a nice Jewish boy. My wife did 40 years ago this coming April.
But stay away from the Chasidim unless you have lots of money to support them. They are far stranger than the Mormons.
