| Subject: The Whining Rabbi's Nonsense: Lack of respect is to blame for awful sex lives Fri Mar 08, 2019 5:51 pm | |
| Sometimes it just takes a few small words to make the big picture fall into place. And this week, in this current climate of religious despair and disgust, such enlightenment came to me courtesy of a rabbi.
“Sex is broken,” American Orthodox Jewish rabbi, author, TV host and public speaker Shmuel "Shmuley" Boteach claimed on the ABC’s Q&A program, encapsulating my view on modern mating, dating and relating, succinctly and unequivocally.
“Sex is about intimacy,” he proclaimed. “Sex is the motion that brings forth emotion.”
Herein lies the essence of an argument I have been having with fellow feminists, hook-up habitual millennials and porn-obsessed men, which is that sex has turned into something so bereft of tenderness, passion and intimacy, it has become something either boring and banal at best or violent and exploitative at worst.
