Judaism has never had a prudish sexual ethic. It celebrates the commitment between man and woman. But kosher sex can straddle these two opposites and unite the best aspects of both. Sex for pleasure is an end in itself. Kosher sex has you remembering your lover's name after the act.
Great sex is undertaken by two separate bodies, kosher sex by two halves of the same soul.
While these dos and don'ts may sound antiquated, Boteach says they actually promote intimacy. But for now, Boteach's focus will continue to be Kosher Sex . Interestingly, the book has attracted a largely non-Jewish market in England. Non-Jews come without those prejudices. Eric Major, vice-president of religious publishing at Doubleday, hopes the book will succeed in the U.S. in both markets.
