(23) Masculinity, Male Sexuality, & Judaism: Navigating Love, Lust, & Intimacy

June 9, 2020 7:30 am

Men are sexually assertive, they constantly think about and want sex, and their masculinity is determined by the frequency of their sexual conquests and their performance. This stereotype is perpetuated by the media in Western culture. Jewish sources, on the other hand, acknowledge the power of the male sexual drive, but require men to direct this drive exclusively towards marital relations. The expectation to live up to contemporary societal expectations of masculinity, to struggle with forbidden sexual arousal, yet be commanded when appropriate to perform sexually with one’s wife, may contribute to feelings of confusion, frustration, and anxiety.

Join Talli Rosenbaum and Rabbi Scott Kahn as they lead a panel discussion about male sexuality. They discuss the love/lust split, sex outside of marriage among religious men, mindfulness for the treatment of sexual performance anxiety, creating meaningful and enjoyable sex within marriage, and much more.

Want to see modern day idolatry? Look how some people treat Rashbi's grave.

Last month, @avitalrachel wrote an article about the popularity of The Surrendered Wife among some Orthodox Jews. @TalliRosenbaum and I discuss whether the book's message is truly one that aligns with Torah values.

Last night, crowd control worked. This afternoon, it's a disaster waiting to happen. Apparently police have given up even trying to restrict the numbers. Avoid Meron.
