Let's talk about sex, baby: Leonard Nimoy, move over. You've officially been replaced as the go-to guy when the media is talking about Judaism and sex. Thanks to the likes of Kosher Sex author and Jewsweek columnist Shmuley Boteach, we're all keenly aware of the holiness of sex within the realm of religion. A new exhibit set to open this week at the Jewish Museum of Australia is called Under the Covers -- Love, Sex and Intimacy in Jewish Life and deals with such taboo topics as masturbation, menstruation, and breasts. In two concurrent exhibits, aptly titled My Clean Days and My Marriage Bed, a calender documents a woman's menstrual cycles during her decade-long marriage to an Orthodox rabbi, while an overhead video projects each month onto a bed of handkerchiefs -- an allusion to the way she had checked for "cleanliness". The, um, titilating exhibit runs through June.
