Stop the presses! The hot Jewish girl is the new Catholic schoolgirl.
My personal Jewish network has been all a'twitter (pun intended) over an article published in Details Magazine's December issue titled "The Rise of the Hot Jewish Girl: Why American men are lusting after women of the tribe."
While tasty Jewish girls have been on the scene for quite a while now (Natalie Portman, anyone?), this article is the first I've seen which suggests that the quest for a Star of David clad sexpot isn't just limited to nice Jewish boys from Long Island.
According to Details, desire for the JILF (Jew I'd Like to F*ck) is more widespread than ever. Hell, apparently 'frum porn' is even a thing, boasting a devout non-Jewish following. And don't think it isn't lost on me that the article in question was written by one Mr. CHRIST-opher Noxon.
While the existence of Jewish-themed pornography disturbs me on a deep emotional level (bagels are for eating!), it does bring up an interesting question. Could the gentile attraction to girls of the hot and Jewish variety be due to its inverse? Do Jewish girls have a fetish for goyishe boys?
Of course, this question stems from personal experience. Despite my best efforts to date Jews, as chronicled in my piece for Washington Jewish Week, nearly every one of my major emotional relationships have been with shaygitzes. Much to my mother's dismay, I assure you.
Why is that? My Judaism is extremely important to me and plays perhaps an intimidatingly large role in my life, both personally and professionally. I agree with Jewish community leaders who warn that intermarriage is an alarming and problematic trend. Why then can't I just settle down with a Jew?
Perhaps it's the thrill of going after something I'm not supposed to go after. Maybe Jews seem too familiar and unexciting. Maybe I have a thing for that Anglo look. It's probably a combination of the three.
Or, as Details would have us believe, those non-Jews have just been going after me especially. It's their fault, Ma.
Those Jewish boys had better step up their game; there's a lot of competition for us Jewish girls these days.

JILF! Never heard that, learn something new everyday. Great article.
interesting article!
Very interesting, Rachel. I read the article in Details and it made me think of artist Maya Escobar's work. She deals with the "stereotyping of identity" (she's Jewish, Latina, and a woman). Her video of a "Jewish Girl" is obviously exaggerated, but unfortunately somewhat familiar to anyone who attended our university

ha!! that is too funny, but anectdotally, I've def. seen this. I think the opposite is happening for Jewish males though - check it out: http://www.salon.com/ent/feature/2006/07/10/cool_jews/index.html
sweet article. i'm going through the same thing. why cant there just be more awesome jewish men in dc who want to date us awesome jewish girls!!
^^oh there are plenty I assure you...
Very interesting- I wouldn't say I'm attracted to Jewish girls because they are Jewish but on more than one occasion I'll find that a girl that I find attractive happens to also be Jewish.
It's really a shame though that most Jewish girls want to really meet a nice Jewish boy- I already think I'm worse off because I'm Asian, now I'm also worse off because I'm not Jewish!
"Tay-Sachs disease, the most well known Jewish genetic disease, is an inherited metabolic disorder. The basic defect in affected children is the deficiency of an enzyme, hexosaminidase A. Without Hex A, a fatty substance called GM2 ganglioside accumulates abnormally in cells especially in nerve cells of the brain. This continual accumulation causes progressive damage to the cells. There are two forms of this disease, the well known infantile-onset form and a lesser known, late-onset or adult form designated "chronic GM2-gangliosidosis".
Both infantile and adult forms of Tay-Sachs Disease occur more frequently, though not exclusively, in a defined population. A person's chances of being a Tay-Sachs Disease carrier are significantly higher if he or she is of eastern European (Ashkenazi) Jewish descent. Approximately one in every 27 Jews in the United States is a carrier of the Tay-Sachs Disease gene.
The disease is transmitted through heredity. Both parents have to carry the Tay-Sachs gene for there to be a possibility of transmission to their child.
If both are carriers:
· There is a One in Four chance that the child will inherit the Tay-Sachs gene from each parent and have the disease."
Branch out.
"I agree with Jewish community leaders who warn that intermarriage is an alarming and problematic trend."
This strikes me as so weird.
I do not appreciate Jewish community leaders attempting to deprive me of my sweet, supple Jewesses.
