„The proper sexual relationship, built on holiness and uprightness, apart from building and perfecting the future of the world, affirms by this very act the present as well... But the wicked, who corrupt their way, cause the precious wealth in which the blessing of the Lord dwells to perish into oblivion.”From Ein Ayah, Shabbat 35
Judaism, unlike Christianity, did not reject sexuality. Sexuality is what drives the world and that by which a person builds a future. But this immense, raw force can be destructive when it is not activated properly. Sexual assaults are a vile thing, which the Torah and Judaism have opposed throughout all their years, erecting safeguards to save from it. One who uses the power of sexuality to destroy souls is a wicked person.
