Love is the Only Revolution That Matters

Sex was never taboo.

We’re the ones who made it that way.

This revelation hit me like a punch to the gut when I learned about the exhibition at the Jewish Museum in Amsterdam.

While the world kills itself over ideologies, territories, and power, an ancient culture openly displays its vision of pleasure, intimacy, and connection.

Singles, stop searching for perfect love.

It doesn’t exist.

What exists is real love, the kind built day by day, with all its imperfections. And you know what?

That’s perfectly okay.

Couples, put down your phones.

Look into each other’s eyes.

When was the last time you made love without thinking about tomorrow’s work? Without checking notifications? Without worrying about poses or what the other person is thinking?

Female pleasure isn’t a luxury extra — it’s a fundamental right. Jewish texts were already talking about this in the 13th century.

And here we are in 2024, still treating the female orgasm like some universal mystery? Please.

Men, free yourselves from this crazy performance pressure. Masculinity isn’t measured by sexual conquests.

It’s measured by the ability to be vulnerable, to surrender, to love without fear of judgment.
