Ho comprato questo libro in attesa che mi arrivasse la copia cartacea di "Kosher Sex: A Recipe for Passion and Intimacy", curiosa di vedere cosa e come scrivesse il rabbino Boteach... Avrei fatto meglio ad aspettare. Questo libro non aggiunge nulla a quanto già si trova nell'altra opera ed è talmente infarcito di esempi di storie vissute che l'ho trovato illeggibile, ho passato il tempo a saltare i racconti di esperienze che erano tutte uguali. Insomma, secondo me pubblicato più per vendere che per dire qualcosa di nuovo. ( )

This is one sad book. Sounds like it was written by a sexually frustrated old man who is looking to get laid. I get the idea, but I certainly don't agree with the premise. Keeps repeating the same stuff, over and over, Total Waste Of Time!! ( )

Kosher Lust features a somewhat unsettling premise that most sexual relationships in marriages are not fulfilling. Rabbi Shmuley Boteach backs this up with "research" and anecdotal evidence. Whether one believes in marriages and traditional roles therein, or not, this book is likely to make one assess their own situation. Initially I was intrigued by the author's reasonings, but he lost me when he got to the biblical explanations and things continued to drag on for a bit. However, it was readable and most certainly "lighter" than other books on these topics. ( )

Kosher Lust is basically a self help book for couples who have fallen out of lust. The author Rabbi Boteach explains that lust-and not just love is vital to a successful marriage. Unfortunately, many couples loose the lustful aspect as the years go by. Reason for that according to Boteach is that husbands stop wooing their wives and actually start seeing them mostly as a housekeepers and nannys. At the same time wives stop making their husbands feel needed and that in essence leads to a loss of libido. This book is a little short on practical advice but I enjoyed the theoretical exploration of this sensitive topic. ( )

Let me begin by saying that I am a Christian, so that may color my review somewhat differently. I did learn a lot about the Jewish faith's views regarding sex and romance. That was actually the most interesting part for me. The book only seemed to have one predominate idea: that love and lust are very different things, and we most often fall out of lust before we fall out of love. As a Christian, I would prefer to use a different word, not lust, which feels like an undesirable emotion. I would prefer "intimate desire" or deep desire". It was a small book, but there really was no other new information here. There was some incorrect Information about sex addiction, it is now in the DSM and is not " just a tawdry cover up" but a real disorder. The one thing I did not like was the constant use of excerpts. It was merely a repeat of the information on the same page. It didn't serve any purpose in this case, other than to make the book seem longer. It would have been a terrific magazine article, but not a book ( )
