Sex manual created for ultra-Orthodox Jews A sealed envelope at the back contains sexual diagrams Discussions include topics such as oral sex and masturbation Designed to dispel myths and confront the taboo subject Self-help book: The Newlywed's Guide to Physical Intimacy includes diagrams to help young Orthodox Jewish couples A sex therapist has created the first ever sex manual for ultra-Orthodox Jews. Dr. David Ribner put together The Newlywed's Guide to Physical Intimacy which touches on subjects that may be uncomfortable for some, including oral sex and masturbation. The 92 page book does not contain any images, although a sealed envelope at the back does contain sexual diagrams. Mr Ribner says even though sex is a positive action in Judaism it has become so taboo that he felt compelled to create the book and dispel myths. For example Mr Rider said the legend that ultra-Orthodox Jews are so worried about modesty that they have sex through a hole in a sheet is completely untrue. In the introduction of the the book it states: 'You may be wondering how Torah-observant Jews can talk about sex in a direct way when it has not been done in the past, and whether the very existence of such a manual might violate the principle of tzniyus (modesty). This kind of information was once passed from parent to child; our impression is that this is no longer the norm. As a result, many couples are left to face this critical area of their lives with little guidance or information. It is this void we seek to address. In the sealed envelope at the back there are three diagrams of basic sexual positions - the figures are faceless and the sketches are rudimentary, reported the BBC. 'We wanted to give people a sense of not only where to put their sexual organs, but where to put their arms and legs,' said Mr Ribner, who was ordained an Orthodox rabbi in New York and started counseling devout Jewish patients on sex. Be prepared: Young couples are warned about the contents of the envelope at the back of the book Aid: The illustrations in Newlywed's Guide to Physical Intimacy, a guide for Othodox Jews are meant to help couples who have had little or no exposure nor any guidance on sex Educational: As Orthodox boys and girls have little interaction with the opposite sex until their marriage night, Dr Ribner could see the need for a book to help them in intimate situations If you have never seen a movie, never read a book, how are you supposed to know what you do? 'We wanted this to be acceptable to the widest possible population with the least risk of it being offensive,' he says. We did consult many other sex manuals to see what kind of illustrations they use, and we felt they were just too graphic to be comfortable for people who had really had no contact with this aspect of their live. The sealed packet has a warning letting readers know what they are about to view. The book was released last year in English and the Hebrew edition comes out in a few weeks. Much needed: Dr David Ribner has been counselling devout Jewish patients for the past 30 years and says publication of a sex manual for Orthodox Jews was long overdue Drive: Mr Ribner says even though sex is a positive action in Judaism it has become so taboo he felt compelled to create the book and dispel myths Mr Ribner expects many religious booksellers in Israel will refuse to carry it - it may be too confrontational. It appears the book has received a welcome, if not surpised reception so far. One reviewer wrote: 'Living in a modern orthodox community that is (one of) the intended audience for this book, I see how DESPERATELY it is needed. It is clear, does not use euphemisms, and is incredibly down-to-brass-tacks practical.  While another internet user wrote: ' This book surprised me with its clear and thorough explanations considering it was written by and intended for the conservative and ultra-conservative Torah-observant Jewish community.'
