Daily Mail headline - 'Lust is key to all of the Bible's famous marriages': “Controversial rabbi claims that sex and desire is more important than love. May 2014 Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, an author and former New Jersey congressional candidate, has written a new book on the topic called Kosher Lust, which was released on Thursday. The title focuses on how famous relationships in the Old Testament used lust to create a lasting bond. ‘All of the famous marriages of the Bible are lust relationships, not love relationships,’ the 47-year-old father of nine told the New York Post of his theory. ‘Just look at our patriarchs. Jacob waits seven years for Rachel and for him it feels like a few days. The first thing Rebecca does when she meets Isaac is veil her face,’ he added.

I claim in this book to be the first man ever in history to answer that question!" Rabbi Shmuley Boteach
