Horny Jewish Teenager

Now i have never been jewish but i have known a jewish friend. He was never as horny as Alex Portnoy in the book Portnoy's Complaint. That guy is so horny it breeds self-hatred because masturabation in the Jewish culture is forbiden. So is marrying/having sex with a shische (i know i messed up the spelling) which is a non jewish woman. Portnoy has multiple issues including his love is his mother and his renouncement of his religion, but i can make a correlation between Portnoy and Allen. Allen's characters in his films have a wide variety of nerosies which is something that Alex Portnoy could relate to. Woody Allen married his kinda sorta step daughter, which you can say mirrors Alex's fascination with his mother as a child. The difference is not the relation by family, but the simple fact that the age of the two individuals is changed. In Allen's case he was older, and in Alex's case he was younger.
