I’m Baptist and don’t let it get in the way. I’m pretty sure Sister Julie is a nice person on the streets but behind close doors she’s a real freak. Don’t worry about it live your life and you do you.

Agnostic. About as close to an athiest you can be without actually being one. So I’m pretty open minded but very skeptical.

I’m Catholic and I have thought about my fetish in relation to religion before. Sometimes it’s distressing to believe that I was created in the image of a glorious God and yet have this silly, dirty, fetish. Christianity of course has a long history of opposing the sinful body to the divine spirit. So at the end of the day I don’t think having this fetish is any different re:Christianity than experiencing any of the other carnal appetites, whether it’s sex hunger or wealth. Did Jesus burp? Did he desire sex? If he was fully man as well as fully God, then yes, he did. And that’s part of the beauty of my religion, to have a God who humbled himself to experience the commonest form of humanity.

The Bible and some theologians I read like Thomas Aquinas are clear that things like fetishes are just a part of human nature (and there are people in the Bible who do WAY worse things than fap to burp vids lmao!) and I believe that these more ā€œhumanā€ parts of our human nature exist to help us better recognize God’s mercy for humans even though we’re flawed beings.

Aquinas was against masturbation, just FYI. Gollum! Gollum!

Did Jesus burp? Did he desire sex?

The real question be, could baby Jesus move objects with his mind?

Athiest, religion doesn’t interfere with anything I do lol.

I grew up in the bible belt, so aside from masturbating behind closed doors to my fetishes I never even ā€˜came out’ about my orientation to anyone until I was 23.

Even past contending with the gay/christian battle, if you survive that down here (I don’t follow any more but somehow I still feel a bit connected to it), now you have this fetish that a partner may or may not be accepting. My dating pool is a small percentage of a small percentage of a small percentage it seems.

It took me a long time to accept this fetish, and a big part of that is definitely that I was raised catholic. Even after I left the religion (I’m an atheist now), which ended up being my first step toward accepting myself, I still felt a lot of guilt in everything regarding my sexuality for a long time.
