Ch. 6 Today's New Woman


Should I convert to Judaism? It sure does sound like there are happy marriages within this religion if all men abide by their sexual obligations towards their wife. The "conjugal rights" of a woman are outlined in the Torah (Shalit, 114). According to these rules a wife has the right to forbid her husband from switching to an occupation that would entail less conjugal visits. This suggests that this society saw it completely natural for a woman to have sexual desires that needed to be satisfied by her husband. Why in today's society is it so shocking when a woman reveals that she has a sexual fantasy or desire and then even more shocking when she acts upon it? I am tired of women being accused of being slutty or whores when in actuality they have less sexual experiences then the average man. The Torah was written hundreds of years ago, yet today we are shocked to learn that a woman can be horny. Welcome to the 21st century.
