Jewish Sex: A New Look at an Old Act

We're whiny in bed. Or too aggressive. Or too entitled. These are just a few of the assumptions and stereotypes about Jewish women's behavior in bed. But what are we really like beneath the sheets? What are some of the turn-ons and -offs we haven't read a million times? In this issue we teamed up with the editorial staff of Jewcy (www.jewcy.com), who helped us compile some fabulous personal essays that explore new ways to look at an old topic.

According to Talmudic law, a man has a duty
to give his wife sex regularly and
to ensure that sex is pleasurable for her.
