Her Task Is To Instill Sexual Desire In Orthodox Wives

I wish her much mazal!

From the New York Times:

The suggestions ranged from the seemingly modest to the more direct, from reading romance novels to kissing with the lights on to wearing a lacy nightgown to his touching her clitoris to the use of a vibrator. The woman would take the list home to her husband, and he would take it to their rabbi, who would rule, one by one, on whether these interventions were allowed…

“She’d just found out what and where her clitoris is, after her third child,” Marcus said… Merely having this basic knowledge put her ahead of plenty of Marcus’s Orthodox patients, who tend to be from the Satmar sect, one of the most strictly observant groups within Hasidic Judaism. Their circumscribed upbringings, in sections of Brooklyn or in Monsey, N.Y., a hamlet north of New York City, have been utterly insular, their worlds devoid of secular books, let alone television and the Internet. About sexuality, their minds have been kept free of information and infused with fear. “They have zero — zero — connection to pleasure,” Marcus said. “And there’s no vocabulary to start with them. We have an intake form to fill out, and they get to ‘orgasm’ and go to the receptionist and ask, ‘What is this?’ ” When Marcus begins to explore whether they’ve ever been aroused, they have no understanding of the concept.

Chaim Amalek: “How you gonna keep ’em inside the Torah Corral of Sex when they’ve discovered Craigslist? Also, real Yidden do not concern themselves with such goyishe nareshkeit as female “orgasms.” They instead devote themselves to Torah. Female orgasms are for goyim, not us.”
