Amusing. Seductive. Stimulating. We're talking about the Talmud? That's right. Take fifty actual Talmudic discussions, mix in pithy sayings (appropriate and inappropriate) by luminaries from Mae West and Amy Schumer to George Washington and Gandhi, add a few cartoons, and voila--delighted and enlightened readers will come away with a new perspective on what the ancient Jewish sages say about our most intimate relationships.In this lighthearted, in-depth tour of sexuality within the Talmud, come eavesdrop at the first rabbis' locker-room door as they discuss every aspect of sexual relations--how, when, where, with whom--often in startlingly explicit fashion.

A funny and interesting introduction to the extensive writings about human sexuality contained in the Talmud. Although some laws and commentaries were based on mistaken ideas about human biology, others were surprisingly sophisticated in understanding of human motivations. In the opinion of this Pagan, this book is a good read for Jews and non-Jews alike.
