Hi everyone!

​

I'm a new Christian and new to this forum. I have a lot of questions to ask, but this is the most burning one. I like to write stories, and I have a tendency to use characters in my stories that are disabled in some way. I also have an attraction to guys who are disabled. It's not a sexual attraction; it's just that I find them attractive, which is why I use them in my fiction. I've sometimes heard this attraction being referred to as a fetish, which I know is a sin. I'd like to know what you guys think about me continuing to write fiction with disabled protagonists. If some people (not necessarily Christian) call the attraction a fetish, does it make it a fetish and in that case a sin against God? I ask this because I'm not very familiar with the Bible, so if anything is said relating to things of this nature or any related topics, I have absolutely no idea. I just want to do the right thing. I apologise to anyone who may be offended by this post. That's not what I intended to do. I'm just searching for an answer that will help me make a wise decision and be a good Christian.

Thanx all...

alice

Hello!
Having an attraction to something does not mean it is a fetish, necessarily. A fetish is when it becomes an obsession, sexually, and interferes with your daily life. If writing about disabled men is what you like to do, then do it. If you start becoming sexually attracted to your characters, who aren't real, or more obsessed with them then real life people, I'd advise seeking help from a pastor or another Christian you trust. Any fetish, addiction, or obsession can easily get between you and God, and this is where it can be a big problem. I hope this helps!
God Bless.

def. fetish: An abnormally obsessive preoccupation or attachment; a fixation.
