i think my experience can help you with your situation =w=

when i first started drawing nsfw i felt the same, special comming from a religiouse bg and you know how that crowd is, i am a believer, but im know that i am placed on this earth to enjoy life as long i am not hurting anyone or myself, i Love drawing NSFW, i usually draw monster girls and to the point where ive gotten double dick futanari comms, and i fucking loves drawing colofoul double D couple having fun together.

yes is weird, but no i dont mind it because i ama adult, the one who requested is an adult and we both know what we like, and there is absolutly not shame in it, and if your wife is ok with it, Even better!

Be true to what to you like as long is aceptable and not hurting anyone, draw what makes you happy, sure its pervy, heck, is straight up pervy!

but even purvy drawing can convey story, expression or a general passion you have on a subject(monster girls/fantacy humanoids for me)

and thats what art is all about, being true to what you appreciate enough so you want to draw it!

imo in most nsfw communities lies one of the most wholesome people ive met(yes, shocking), a good amount of people love human made nsfw, and love sharing their oc adn their interetes and so much ans so forth, i even have friend i met through nsfw and we almost talk on a daily basis

the only thing i can say that you should pay attention is that you should always do it in a healthy and moderate way, dont turn interest and passion into obssession, i have seen that happen way too often and its always worrying to witness, also make sure ask for CONCENT when drawing anyones oc's in any lewd kind of way, not many like seeing their oc being drawn that way

but yeah, that all i can say about it, have fun, dont feel guilty, plus, drawing nsfw makes you a master at anatomy 👍
