Platonic Relationships [mp3 download] by Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky
This tape caused a sensation when it was made, and has been a collector's item for years.  Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky is an extremely popular teacher in Jerusalem, whose side-splitting humor makes it difficult to decide whether you are being educated or entertained.  His Motzei Shabbos shiur attracts hundreds of people weekly.  Before coming to Israel, he was an NCSY director on the East Coast. This tape records his remarks to a group of American seminary girls in Jerusalem.  He holds nothing back as he explains the Torah's view of casual friendships between members of the opposite sex.  Only someone this funny could afford to be this frank.

He has many other tapes available for purchase.  You can get a list of them by sending an email request to orlofsky at netvision.net.il
