My friend is interested in dating her Jewish neighbor and wants to educate her self on his customs without having to ask some rather personal questions. Actually just one comes to mind…
Is it true that Jewish men will not/can not preform oral sex?
My guess would be that if your friend was not Jewish then any Jewish man who would be willing to date her would not worry too much about any possible restrictions on sex.
If she is Jewish, then she should speak to her rabbi.
As in pretty much any religion, the answer to your questions depend on what denomination the fellow practices and how observant he is. Many US Jews do not keep Kosher or only keep Kosher at home. If he does keep Kosher, avoid pork and shellfish. Meat and milk products should not be mixed, e.g. cheeseburgers are right out.
At least at the reform Judiasm level, I’m not aware of any prohibitions regarding sex – my impression is that Judiasm has less hangups regarding sex than most other religions.
Frankly, I wouldn’t worry about the religious aspect right off.
I just had to pitch in: Jewish men are so cute and hot! Every time I go to a synagogue or a Jewish service I waste half the time checking out the guys.
No but he told her a bunch of other crap that was insane. Like that Jewish guys can cheat on there wives as long as it’s with a gentile. He has a huge crush on her so she wasn’t taking him seriously until she remembered hearing something about the oral before.
Thanks for all the info and the links. I’m ashamed I’ve never made the effort to learn before now.
