For those who have a religious affiliation, how do you approach ANR? How do you keep your covenants/vows/commitments religiously while seeking an ANR lifestyle and partner?
Do you struggle and if yes, how do you manage your desires and struggles?I was recently asked and I found it such a wonderful question, I thought I would open it to everyone. Without open communication, we do not grow. Further, communication opens us all to support. My God did not hide from hard topics, why should I?
In responses, please know we respect each other and listen. We do not have to agree.
June 14, 2026 at 11:58 am #758099Well thats excellent question. To me personally, its just between me and God, and i dont push my belives to others. Same would go if i ever will find a partner. Her religion, belives are hers. She can worship if she wants. I dont think any religion would or should condem ANR, people who preach may condem it, but that is just their bigotry.
That takes everything away, besides ANR is best and pure way to be close to other, to be kind, respect and cherish life.
We do have to be nice, respect an honor others religious what ever they are same as we do for life.June 14, 2026 at 12:45 pm #758103My religion (TST) does not see indulgence in this way to be a problem if both people consent to it 🙂
June 14, 2026 at 1:10 pm #758107That’s a good question @hinh
I’m not religious per se but I don’t ‘throw the baby out with the bath water’. Though I absolutely defend anyone’s right to their own beliefs.
For me, I believe in an ultimate reality as being non-dual and from that standpoint it is amoral, not immoral but beyond morals.
However, earthly experience calls for dualism, necessarily, life could not exist without opposites. I like to look at ‘life’ in all it’s glory, through the lens of Hermeticism which is not religious. There is simply action and consequence, not good or bad.But…I do still find myself occasionally drawn into the dualistic way of thinking because of my early and societal programming. With right/wrongs come the feeling of forgiveness; which is one of the best feelings on earth, true love. Being utterly betrayed and used and destroyed and then, eventually, forgiving is a sublime feeling. But it’s just an ego trap.
I guess for guidance on how to live, I go by the golden rule, ‘Do unto others as you would have them do to you.’ xx

If scripture changes things for you, Proverbs 5:19 poetically suggests:
“A loving doe, a graceful deer— may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be intoxicated with her love.”
