thank you for interesting links.

where does the author get the idea that Jews found sex disgusting? I thought they loved sex

How beautiful and pleasant you are, O loved one, with all your delights! Your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters. I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its fruit. Oh may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of your breath like apples, and your mouth like the best wine. It goes down smoothly for my beloved, gliding over lips and teeth. I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me.

~ Song of Solomon 7:6-12
Apparently history and art tell two different tales .But this isn't surprising after all lots of cultures that were sexual or romantically repressed wrote similar themes .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
