I remember hearing somewhere that Jewish couples have sex through a hole in a sheet when the woman is menstruating? Is this really true. I am not a weirdo, i'm just curious.

No. That's an old but very popular myth. In the strictest sense, Orthodox Jewish men aren't even supposed to come into physical contact with their wife if she's menstruating. Some times they will not even pass objects directly to each other. It's 'unclean'

That's a new variation.
The truth of the matter is that Jews, either Orthodox or otherwise, do NOT do this.
However, regarding menstration, religious Jews will not have relations at all during that period.

This idea spread as an old wives tale in England, but applied to all women. I know because my uncle used to think this. He was just ignorant!

They don't have sex when the woman is on her period. She is considered "unclean" and can't even cook for the family. This mainly applies to ultra orthodox Jewish people.

I don't know if this is true .... but what you are saying sounds vaguely familiar so I think I have heard it too.
So don't worry you're not a weirdo.

I think I heard something like that too. It has something to do with the women being impure while she menstruates! Can you believe it?
