What to do when the object of your passion is a man who has made a lifelong commitment to God and chastity? Consider a serious church: peaceful and elegant, a place to meditate on your beliefs and spirituality. A woman arrives and sits in the confessional to confess. The priest is unprepared to deal with her misdeeds. She tells him about her rapturous longing for a guy she cannot have because he has dedicated himself to God and accepted a vow of chastity. He is forbidden fruit, far and unreachable, yet he sits there next her, on the other side of the confessional grille. He is listening to her talk. Bit by bit, he finds himself obsessed with sexual desires. Will a man of faith resist against the temptation of desire?
Fleabag is one of my favorite shows, so I was dying to make an XConfessions-spin on the hot priest character that you can’t help but lust over…
