Review # 1 was written on 2017-10-29 00:00:00 Joey Smith I thought this book was interesting. It certainly challenges contemporary attitudes and trends and it does so by a "recovery" of rabbinical teachings on sexuality. Rabbi Boteach's enthusiasm for marriage and family is evident in the text and it's clear his goal is to build stronger connections between married partners. His winsome personality certainly comes through. I read this book a while ago and I'm still thinking about it. While the volume is written for a popular (and not necessarily Jewish) audience, it provoked my interest in the rabbinical sources from which Boteach derives his views.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-08-13 00:00:00 ANNA WADE This overgrown essay was so repetitive and not at all as scandalous as the title suggests. He could have summed it up in a status update. Basically: 1.) Premarital sex will ruin the relationship. 2.) Adultery is really bad and most likely caused from having premarital sex. 3.) Women need to stay out of the spotlight because they are so magical and mysteriously sexual. 4.) The wife needs to be constantly romanced so that she'll respect her husband and enjoy sex with him. 5.) If wives don't enjoy sex with their husbands then said husbands will have affairs. 6.) Toys are okay so long as it's within a marriage and it helps foster a sense of closeness. 7.) You should never be naked in front of your spouse unless it's for sex. Even then, being fully naked is questionable. And lights should be off anyway. 8.) A wife must be modest in public to preserve her "feminine charm" for her husband. 9.) If women would quit having premarital sex then men would actually commit to getting married. 10.) And if a couple does not share a joint bank account and last name then their marriage is doomed. Congrats, I have condensed 286 pages for you. This book is rubbish.
