The Jewish Divorce Project- Ep 42: Sex, Kinks, and Conversations with a Sex Therapist- This too is Torah!

WARNING- EXTRA ADULT conversation in this week's episode. Noam and Sheva are joined by Sara Rosen, a New York based Sex Therapist, with a license in social work as well as a Masters of Education in human sexuality. Learn more about Sara here.

And we are joined by an "Anonymous" voice from the orthodox community who share's her own experiences as the intersection between religious values towards sex and personal explorations with sexuality.

In this episode we talk about many different subjects including: porn, sex positivity, kinks, communication, toys, masturbation, and the sacredness involved in intimacy. Surprisingly we don't talk about consent, so remember that's an important part of any sexual relationship.

We talk some Jewish values, too, believe it or not. Specifically, Noam slightly misquotes the Torah in claiming Tamar had two sons, Er and Onan who died as a result of mastubation. The correct detail is that these were Judah's sons, not Tamars. Tamar was set to marry those two sons and give birth through them. 

Here is also a link to the piece of Talmud mentioned about the important nature of sex education within Jewish education.
