Omg I shagged the vicar

BC for this one!!

last summer I moved to a new village with my 2 teen DC’s following my divorce. I’ve made a real effort to integrate into village life and joined a cycling group which I love.

a couple of new members joined a few months ago, one of whom is the vicar from a nearby parish. He’s 39 single. I’m 43.

on Friday we all met for drinks snd I ended Ho inviting a group back to my house. Kids are away with their dad. We all had a few more drinks at my house before people started heading home. There’s been a little bit of flirtation between me and the vicar and it ended up just me and him- we had some more wine and he was being very complimentary and was clearly trying it on. We ended up kissing and I’m afraid that I ended up shagging him on my kitchen sofa. Very out of character for me.

im now mortified that I have to see him at cycle meet this week. My friends think it’s hilarious but im worried he’ll think I’m loose and common. 😲

Given you are single and presumably (?) not a practising Christian, sounds fine to me.

Given he is in a position of leadership and is a practising Christian, I think his behaviour isn't right. Although we are all human of course. I also know a variety of vicars/Christians - some don't even believe in God, whereas for others sex outside of marriage would lead to lots of difficult guilty feelings and issues.

I do think yabvu to share it with all your friends and the internet.

I would have thought a belief in God was pretty much a requirement of the job.

To be honest, this also crossed my mind. Although OP did say he was from a nearby parish and not HER vicar, he simply attended the same cycling club. And his occupation just happened to be "vicar"

He might aso just have the outfit and is into roleplay.

Dorothyperky · 31/08/2026 15:21

I knew two vicars very well. My mother's best friend from university, film star looks and a Catholic priest of mine who is an ex C of E vicar.
Both very funny and very normal.

I'm a Christian but I don't think abstainance applies in this day and age. I think a lot of priests end up on the drink because they're lonely.

I hope the OP hasn't told her friends because someone will squeel.
A couple of 'our fathers' and you'll be grand.

And channel Mrs Doyle.

MyballsareSandy2015 · 31/08/2026 13:29

Are vicars allowed to do that … thought sex before marriage was a sin.

Regardless, sounds fun OP 🤣

The 11th commandment is don't get caught. Looks like it's been broken. With dramatic posts like this I always wonder if it's fictional. More fun to believe it, though.

You better hope the population picks up soon then or King Charles may order fornication under his command.

Assume you are without sin yourself to cast such stones.

lol! I’m not a Christian so not bound by that teaching.

I do reserve my respect though for people who do the work of practicing what they preach, or are paid to represent.

And fornication and adultery are sins in all the three main monotheistic religions ( Judaism, Islam and Christianity).

Maybe you will be even more mortified when this 'impossible to identify vicar who is single, 39, lives in a village and is a member of a cycling club' is outed and finds out from gossip fuelled by your friends (who you have told ) and possibly MN, that you have revealed his sex life for the whole village to find 'hilarious;

It's the gossipy 'oooo er' that I find lacks class. and if I were him I would be very disappointed, if not furious.

I didn’t realise OP was vulnerable. I missed that bit.

She doesn't sound very vulnerable. But how do we know because the only information is what she included in this thread.

But if he is open to having sex on a casual basis presumably OP isn't the only woman he has had sex with and we have no idea about what his standards are as regards who choses to have sex with. He certainly doesn't come over as somebody with any principles.

It should be - tbh I was pretty shocked and saddened to meet one who didn't. They weren't an older person who'd lost faith either, they were young and never believed it. No idea why they decided on that career, it's not known for the money! I'd feel weird having a job in which I constantly had to profess believing in something I didn't believe in, and encouraging others to do it too.

Oh stop blaming OP.

She’s perfectly entitled to talk about who she’s shagged. If he’s embarrassed by this because his chosen vocation. means initiating casual sex with a woman he’s not even dating, let alone in a committed relationship with, is embarrassing for him, and possibly career damaging, then that’s on him, not her. It’s him who needs to think more carefully about his actions, not OP.

He’s the one who needs to think more carefully about what behaviour is ‘classy’ for a Minister of God.

Muhammad consummated marriage with a 9 year old child and Lot impregnated his daughter's. I'd say fornication between consenting adults being a "sin" is at best hypocrisy when paedophilia and incest is accepted and glorified.

Floopsy · 31/08/2026 15:34

You've done nothing wrong. Don't worry about him thinking negatively of you. He's something of a loose Canon himself.

Christians regard incest and paedophilia as sins. I have no intention of entering further into one of those tedious discussions where someone declares what they think Christians should believe and then attacks them for that, not what christiands actually do believe. Bore off. Have that argument with yourself.

Haha I thought about that too! Must be a nice, big kitchen to accommodate a sofa.

It’s always been my dream to have a kitchen big enough for a sofa. (Not to shag the vicar — or anyone else — on, you understand. Just to sit on. In comfort.)

It's possible to believe in God without considering premarital sex to be a sin.

Ritasueandbobtoo9 · 31/08/2026 15:39

Just wondering if the Vicar has BAPtised any other ladies of the village. Do you know if any others have been blessed by his fingers???

DrWatsonsWalklingStick · 31/08/2026 15:42

I'd have thought he's more likely to be embarrassed. He's a VICAR.
Btw, is sofas in kitchens a thing? Don't they get greasy and smelly from the cooking?

Yes i must admit to being surprised that people think this is so funny.

OP can have sex with who she likes but if the vicar really goes round having sex with random women on their sofas then i think he is in the wrong job. Iwoukld have thought his alchol consumption was quite questionable as well.

Vicars are allowed a life too. Unless I've missed something, the OP met the vicar outside of the church and there's no mention of her being a churchgoer herself, so it's not as if the vicar is taking advantage of a Parishoner.

Lust is one of the 7 deadly sins, but those were a later invention, not the teachings of Christ. Most societies condemn sexual immorality but you don’t need religion for that. What Christ was concerned about was belief.

Cdm - clergy discipline measure. They aren’t supposed to shag the parish. Obvs everybody makes mistakes but )like doctors) vicars are held to a higher standard.

Conveniently the OP says he is from a neighbouring parish...

Lavenderandbrown · 31/08/2026 15:47

well op you are one lucky woman because based on this thread….
you managed to find a not gay not female unmarried vicar to have consensual sex with on your couch in your fabulously large kitchen.

In was single in my 40s post divorce. Absolutely the best 10yrs of lots of sex (mostly but not all in a relationship) so enjoy. I also at 40 post divorce with 2 dc said…oh I’m done pretending to be a virgin and really didn’t care if my neighbors noticed the coming and goings
and more seriously maybe he is very very attracted to you and this was quite our character for him and this may go ♥️♥️♥️

It's goady.

I don't believe in God at all but there's lots of people pretending to care about Religious scripture using things from archaic texts with a particular translation to start arguments online.

I even saw someone recently saying the God of the bible was a paedophile and a rapist as impregnated Mary (without sex if they knew anything about the story) without her consent.

It's odd and the point is usually antisemitic or Islamist.
