Kosher Sex - Rabbi Shmuel Boteach - Opening Statement
Rabbi_Boteach says:
Thank you for inviting me to join you online today. I would like to start the chat off with the following statement, and then let you ask questions from there.
Monica Lewinsky brings back to our minds the ancient stereotype of the woman as sexual predator. All ancient texts warn man than the female seductresses would try to steal his innocence and his purity of character. Of course, today everyone would laugh at that stereotype, and argue that it is men who are predatory, and women who are going off sex.
I contend that the main reason for this is that for a woman sex is a fully-integrated experience of body, mind and soul, and since they are now being asked to separate those entities sex is becoming boring to them. They're now seeing hugging, cuddling, romantic walks as real acts of love, and sex is really a physiological, biological endeavour.
