Fetishism and Christianity

[steviet]

I have attended church almost my entire life, mostly Baptist conservative ones. I have also had a diaper fetish that started at 5 years of age. The struggle to live a life that pleases GOD and still enjoy my diaper fetish has always been a struggle. I believe that GOD's love for me and ALL of us is unlimited. Every human is imperfect but we are all loved by GOD.

I recently wore a diaper, or rather a pull up, for the first time since i was a baby, and it finally made me realize how this abdl part of me is an exclusively sexual thing. I tried wearing it to bed, but it didn't feel good, i didn't feel "safe" or any of the things i usually hear about little space.
It made me realize that diapers are nothing but an object of sexual desire to me.
This however made it difficult for me to accept it. I've tried to persuade myself into thinking that my desires for diapers was a "good" thing or an outlet for something, but suddenly it has lost all it's value.

I am a christian and that has let me to believe that my sexual desires aren't going to lead me to any happiness or anything meaningful if it isn't grounded in love.
And if i'm truly honest with myself, this isn't love. It's a desire, desire for a meaningless object that brings me very temporary pleasure.
So I'm genuinely just curious wether any other people have had the same experiences and how they've adapted to this, especially with the morality of christianity?

I’ve read your post and most of the comments. And I’m wondering if the declaration “I’m a Christian” has been generalized into one type of Christianity. The umbrella of Christianity includes many types of doctrines/styles (ex: Lutheran, Methodist, Episcopal, and others). Each type believe their own version of the Bible and how they individually should live their lives based on their personal beliefs, millions of people practicing their faith, and defining their religion by the denomination they choose to follow. Hopefully you will be able to find peace within yourself and where your moral/spiritual compass leads you to do.

I love the perspectives being expressed here. I too am ex-Christian. I love the things that Jesus teaches about how we treat each other. I’m a follower of the secular Jesus, closer to a Jeffersonian Christian, I suppose.

“Love thy neighbor as you love yourself.”
“Forgive as you are forgiven.”
“Don’t point out your brother’s wet diaper while you have a mess in yours.” (I might be paraphrasing a bit.)

Other than that, I have nothing but contempt for religion. What caused me to leave the faith is how it harms people, chief of those harms being self-harm, and worst of all how everyone is either in denial of that or just accepting that it’s the way it should be… or even that the suffering is “good”. **Cringe**…

The advice about religion encourages fragmentation of yourself into higher and lower aspirations and natures is something I hadn’t heard before, but it makes perfect sense. That’s the best perspective I’ve heard on the subject in a long time. Indeed, be whole and dispense with the artificial dissonance between your body, mind, and soul.

My advice will always be to find yourself outside of religion, to take the qualities that make you a good human being, and let the eternal consequences fall where they will. Your religious support group of family and friends will react negatively, but it’s a reaction without understanding. That’s the only way to be genuine and to live without a fear of punishment to spur your goodness without a scripture constantly reassuring you that this arcane ritual of appeasement is how you define righteousness.

And for those of you who can’t shake the fear of eternal punishment, let me offer you an alternative to the idea of death being the end that’s not couched in comical ideas of cities of gold or lakes of sulfur:

Build an afterlife in the memories of those who know you, and store up treasures there through generosity, support, and authentic love. That’s the only way you can KNOW you will live and love beyond the span of your natural life. As you enrich others and build them up, you will become a part of their story, and they will live on in others, and you in them. Long after your name is forgotten, your essence will continue to join in building to ever greater highs. Only then can you rest truly in peace knowing you left things better than you found them.

Interesting perspective. Thank you for sharing. I never said what my personal religious affiliation is, but find it interesting to learn about others.

I'm just an "normal" IC person (Although some of abdl stuff is interesting). So I guess I'm kind of like a vinilla guy. As for religion, I'm a "candy" Catholic. Which means I like some parts of it and other parts I don't (like abortion - it should be a woman's CHOICE). I was born in a strong Catholic family. And I like it. But I love going to other churches (faiths). I've gone to synagogues and other temples (Baha'i, Buddhism and Hinduism). All of them give a bit different thing then just Christianity. I do like the Episcopal church (mainly because they include LGBTQ people - I have a gay brother). I also have atheist friends. They're cool too.

We all live in a world where not everything we do is pleasing to God & Jesus. Here's how I cope with it. (1) Realize who's really in charge around here--God & Jesus--Accept Jesus as your Savoir. (2) Realize that God & Jesus understand our personal weaknesses, (I agree with Dogboy), will forgive a certain amount of sin. Sins that hurt other people or set a bad example for children are significantly bigger sins than ABDL/ adults wearing diapers by choice without medical reasons. (3) Be a contributor to society, not a drag on society--useful employment, running a business and or extracurricular activities that help other people. Help other people when and where you can. (4) If you are AB, DL, or ABDL, enjoy wearing diapers and don't let guilt or shame get you down--Denise PS--I'm a guy

Not to be facetious but should this really be a concern? An expectation that everything should be pleasing strikes as very immature, certainly moreso than divine.

Yea it was the same for me. I have always wanted to wear diapers; I've been stuck with these desires since i was 4 years old. Started experiencing the same thing you talked about when i was 17. Im still just trying to figure it all out myself.

I can relate going through same thing

 

[Str88jacketabdl]

I missed the line that said thou shall not wear plastic and paper pulp filled underpants in the Bible. Also missed the line about forbidding being tied up and beat.

I hope being kinky isn’t a mortal sin. Lol

 

[Fattrick]

Super interesting topic to me!

I'm not Christian and really don't know very much about it... I REALLY hope I don't say anything that upsets anyone and I'm truly sorry if I do and if I do I would greatly appreciate being told what I said that I shouldn't have.

Here's my question... I'm going to assume the Bible doesn't specifically say we shouldn't be AB/DL but is being kinky a sin or frowned upon type of thing?

 

[dogboy]

The Old testament in Deuteronomy speaks about a man not wearing a woman's clothing and visa versa. But it also says it's a sin to wear clothes made of more than one material....like blended cotton and polyester. It also says one shall not built a structure on their roof....like a church steeple. So I don't put much credence to Old Testament law.

Thanks for the info!

I'm not surprised with the no wearing of the opposite gender clothing... if anyone knows why more then one material is wrong I'd absolutely love to know! I can't even wrap my head around how the idea that clothes should never be made using more then one material could have come up.

I've heard the idea that some of the things that have been incorporated into religions has happened because of health and safety issues... like not eating pork because centuries ago pork might have been causing sickness and death and ppl may have associated that with being punished because there wasn't any understanding of food safety back then. I wonder if not buiding anything on a roof started because ppl tried building on their roofs but the roof wasn't able to support what they built so it collapsed... an act of God.

I agee. I'm sure there are interesting and historic reasons. It's possible that people from other religious believes wore clothes made from multiple materials so it may have been more of a statement denouncing false religions (their belief) and the clothes materials represented that religion. It's also possible that people who built structures on their roofs were seen as a mini ziggurat. The most famous ziggurat was the tower of Babel. In Jewish law, there's always a reason. Now in the 21st century, those reasons no longer apply.

I know I could Google it but I find having someone answer a question is always better so... what's a ziggurat? Other then an incredibly cool word lol

 

[messydiaper]

Post-Christian here. I'm not abandoning the teachings of Christ. I'm still a follower of Christ. I'm just done with the other nut-jobs who "follow" Christ and tell everyone else what they can and can't do. We are humans. We are born. We live. We die. Let's just treat each other nicely while we do that

Hi I understand where you are coming from. I went through this but stayed inquisitive and then explored some more, I found a babysitter and to explore, well when someone else put my diaper on me it became a total different scenario. I continued with going to bed with a diaper on and eventually got used to it, my desire kept growing so this is why I explored. Eventually I told my partner and now she puts my diaper on and changes me etc. I would not change it. Yes the sexual urge still comes but has subsided and getting less with time, as I have accepted my desire to be a AB is real and needed.

 

[Newbaby110521]

As a Christian myself I have wondered about my ABDL lifestyle and how it relates to my faith now I may have published here before but things change so I’ll say where I am now. Due to certain changes in my life (planning a new room) I have moved my ABDL stuff into a area of the house not often visited by anyone so they don’t find anything by mistake. The urge to wear is still there but it’s not as strong this may be because it’s harder to get to the stuff or it could be that I don’t need ABDL in my life anymore or it could be a temporary thing. So until I know for certain I’ll keep the stuff. However, I have wanted to cut the sexual element of ABDL out of my life so I recently decided to cut all sexual stuff out no masturbation, no reading erotica, no watching sexual videos (be aware these videos are not porn I have never watched porn) and similar it has been three days since that promise and I have kept to it I know it’s going to get harder but if I can kick the habit if and when I get back into ABDL hopefully it will be the innocent escape I want it to be. I don’t think ABDL overall is a sin even if it sexual the bible is not embarrassed about sex just read the Song of Songs. But God created sex and the physical pleasures that come with it be enjoyed in its proper context how different people decide that is their choice it’s not my job to police what happens in your bedroom! But if you are concerned about your ABDL lifestyle and you are a Christian try the first thing that we should do but is often the last: pray. It won’t nessacarily give you answer (although it might) but it gives you a chance to get things off your chest.

I guess you saw the answer. I've seen pictures of some of these ancient building/towers and they're fascinating. Like the tower of Babel, I think the idea was building something tall enough that at the top, you got closer to God.
