Marital Intimacy - A Tradional Jewish Approach [Paperback]

A traditional Jewish approach explores the complex and multifaceted subject of intimacy in the Jewish marriage. The author takes a traditional Jewish approach to an aspect of Jewish life that is misinterpreted by some as centering on the denial of pleasure.

Jewish literature has often address the negative aspects of the power of the human sexual drive. This is a misrepresentation and, unlimately, a falsification of Jewish tradition. Marital Intimacy is a refreshing affirmation of the Jewish view of sexuality in which the Sages luad the enjoyment of physical pleasure in general - and sexual pleasure within the marriage relationship in particular - while still condemning hedonism and self-indulgence.
