“It’s Kosher to Talk About Sex” with Dr. Bat Sheva Marcus
In this weeks episode, I had the privilege of interviewing the one and only Dr. Batsheva Marcus @drbatsheva. I discovered her work when she was featured in a NY Times article back in 2015 as “The Orthodox Sex Guru.”
💍🌹👫
Dr. Batsheva is not your typical Orthodox Jewish sex therapist. As the Clinical Director of @mazewomenshealth, she believes in both the medical and psychological component of Sex Therapy. In a hypersexualized world where sex is thrown in our faces, Dr. Batsheva encourages us to not shy away from it, but rather to explore it and see what good we can take from it.
💍🌹👫
In this episode, Dr. Batsheva and I talk about intimacy from the perspective of Judaism as it relates to scientific data. But dont worry, we keep it kosher here. Dr. Batsheva discusses the importance of having these conversations with our partners, but also with others!
💍🌹👫
Although there are people who still think its immodest to talk about an intimate subject like sex, Dr. Batsheva argues otherwise. She believes that Judaism promotes vibrant sex lives and it is not a topic that should be buried under the covers (no pun intended). I’m aware that there are opinions within Judaism that treat sex almost as a necessary evil for the sake of procreation, and there is also evidence to suggest that much of the taboo surrounding sex as a “sinful” act is rooted in the Christian concept of Original Sin, which may have had a subconscious influence on Jews over thousands of years as nomads in exile.
💍🌹👫
So, I want to reiterate that this conversation is for traditional and Orthodox Jews who struggle with desire and libido in their otherwise healthy and happy marriages.
💍🌹👫
Dr. Batsheva shows us the importance of a healthy sex life for monogomous relationships and that there are keys we can use to unlock some of the restraints imposed on us for all the wrong reasons. This episode will help you discover that if you view sex as a chore or if it gives you anxiety, you probably just need a slight change in mindset. Enjoy the Show!
