And lots of women really enjoy dressing up. If your outer wear is the same shapeless black as everyone else’s, that just makes it that much more fun to shop for pretty underwear. ---

If your outer wear is the same shapeless black as everyone else’s, that just makes it that much more fun to shop for pretty underwear. And, not particularly relevent to anything, but in contrast an acquaintance of mine thought her boy friend was having another major psychotic episode when she saw my underwear hung out to dry. She was like… ‘you mean there are are _sane_ people who only wear one kind and color of underwear ???’ ---

I don’t think that’s the case.

I’m guessing there are people who feel they are sinning by reading erotica that doesn’t. So they on’t, and thus aren’t aroused by it at all. ---

In-group versus out-group communication is a thing, though. In context, anyone who knows what lulav is knows that if it’s described as “kosher” that means that it’s been assembled correctly. Out-group readers might well assume that it means that it’s been blessed or kashered or something has been done to it, or, particularly in the context of that article, that a lulav is only acceptable if a rabbi assembles it (not at all true). That’s why the word isn’t a great description for non-Jewish audiences, it muddles rather than expanding understanding. ---

How do the various ‘cast your penis and make a dildo’ products do with the Orthodox? AFAICT the objection to dildoes is that they could be another man’s penis. This would be adulterous. But, a dildo cast from a husband’s penis would (I think) be acceptable. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/wild-crazy-hot-orthodox-jews/732693.md?page=1)
