The Blog of an Orthodox virgin
April 4, 2020 1:10 PM   Subscribe

Years ago I read a great anonynous blog by an Orthodox Jewish woman who was unable to be matched with a husband of her liking in her community, so she expected to be single for life. She wanted to experience sex, but couldn't figure out how to do it without compromising her values or safety. She wrote thoughtfully about this predicament. Anyone remember what the blog was?

Pretty sure I actually found it via Mefi, but my searches aren't turning it up.
Maybe the word Frum, or another Yiddish word, was part of the title.
She was secretive about her location, but I think she was in North America.
Maybe it's from 2010 or thereabouts?
I think it was a Blogspot blog with a simple template.
Thanks!

I remember this and I'm almost sure it was here! I'm thinking it was a link within the conversation of another post if that helps at all.

So glad that you asked about this! I was actually thinking about this recently, since I watched a Netflix show about an Orthodox woman, and I'm glad to re-encounter it.

Response by poster: Watching “Unorthodox” was exactly why I thought of it!

Wow, I have just read her entire blog this morning. That was so powerful to read. I'll be thinking about it for a long time. Thank you for posting about this, and to the people who found and shared the link.
