Description
Sensuous, bold and topical - this volume with its varied illustrations studies the entire spectrum of Jewish attitudes to sexuality. In doing so it examines widely-held and contradictory stereotypes, according to which Judaism encounters sexuality either in a highly positive manner or with exceptionally strict rules and restrictions. "Sacred Sex", "Control and Desire", "Power and Fantasy", "Ritual and Sensuousness" - the seminal volume takes up central aspects of the topic and provides a comprehensive insight: in explanations of Rabbinic regulations and in the history of sexuality in Judaism; in the way ultra-Orthodox women deal with the strict regulations relating to intimacy; in sexuality in films and art; and in the experience of a Jewish couple and sexual therapist. An interdisciplinary overview which informs in a transparent manner and offers surprises. Artists Include: Judy Chicago, Nicole Eisenman, Ronald B. Kitaj, Roee Rosen, Gil Yefman et.al.
