Kosher Sex

Great sex consists entirely of motions, Kosher Sex consists of motions that elicit lasting emotions. Great sex is an undertaking of two separate bodies, Kosher Sex is two halves of the same whole. 

Twenty-five years ago, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's celebrated international bestseller Kosher Sex changed how we view and approach sex, marriage, erotic attraction, and personal relationships by drawing on traditional Jewish wisdom. Based on his extensive experience counseling individuals and couples, the author breaks down sexual taboos and openly yet respectfully discusses the meanings, emotions, and hidden power of sex. 

With his unique anecdotal style, Rabbi Boteach illustrates each and every point, using real couples who have discovered the joys of "kosher sex"—sex that blends passion and lovers—and suggests revolutionary ways of synthesizing the best that each has to offer. When half of all marriages fail and one third are sexless and platonic, Kosher Sex has an astonishing and electrifying impact.

 

SHMULEY BOTEACH has been labeled "a cultural phenomenon" by Newsweek and "the most famous rabbi in America" by the Washington Post, one of the world's fifty most influential Jews by the Jerusalem Post, and London Times Preacher of the Year. His thirty-two books (translated into twenty language), syndicated columns, TLC TV show, and Oprah and Friends radio show have had a global impact. Formerly rabbi at the University of Oxford, Rabbi Shmuley runs The World Values Network, promoting universal values in American culture and media.
