Armpits Fetish
You find her lips in the dark, and she inhales sharply, inviting you in. As you grab her butt and slide your tongue in, she lightly sucks it before biting your lip. Moaning in arousal, you kiss down her neck, tasting the tangy salt of her sweat—exciting and maddening. Steadily lifting her arm, you reveal wisps of moist hair. Desire surges as you dive in, filling your senses with the smell of her sweat. Your tongue reaches out, tasting her, and your body tenses with need.
In today’s consumer-driven world, exaggerated “hygiene” practices are common.
Social media influencers promote body hair removal, and countless products claim to eliminate natural body odors. Yet, the armpit fetish remains a lesser-known kink. If you’re drawn to body hair, especially armpit hair, you’ve found the right article. Here, we aim to break the stigma around armpit fetishes and offer insights into this unique preference.
We encourage you to go into this article with a mind willing to learn and unlearn. Prepare yourself for an exciting journey into the world of armpit and hair fetishes!
Are You Wondering Why You find Hairy Armpits Sexy?
Armpit fetish, scientifically known as maschalagnia or axil(l)ism, sparks sexual arousal from the underarms, commonly called armpits. People have always found various body parts attractive, and the armpit fetish specifically draws interest to a partner’s underarms, whether a woman’s or a man’s.
Several factors intensify this kink. They include trichophilia (attraction to body hair), pube-philia (attraction to pubic hair), power play, and curiosity, among others.
Trichophilia is the sexual attraction to hair. This term can also be applied to hair in the underarms.
Pubephilia or genital hair fetish is the sexual arousal caused by hair in public regions including the underarms known as the armpit.
Power play often enhances sexual arousal, and the armpit fetish is no exception. Many find dominance in sexual interactions a huge turn-on. In armpit fetish scenarios, the dominant partner can intensify control by pressing the submissive partner’s face into their armpits, sparking arousal.
Curiosity often drives exploration into sexual acts that defy conventional norms of what’s considered “normal” or “sexy.” Often, the excitement and pleasure come from engaging in activities that society might label as odd or unusual.
What Makes Armpit Fetishes So Damn Hot?
Odors have always played a significant role in sexual attraction, often on a subconscious level. Scientifically, during a woman’s ovulatory phase, odors from sweat-heavy areas like armpits can increase testosterone and decrease cortisol levels in men. This boost in attraction can aid the fertilization process.
Why do many find underarms attractive? Here are a few reasons:
The Sweet Sweaty Smell
The armpit, a focal area for sweat, is also a hub for body odor. For many, the scent released during sweating is erotically charged. This attraction to body odors extends into a broader smell fetish, where the natural scents of a partner can deeply stimulate another’s senses.
Sweat Makes You Wet
Sweat releases pheromones, which can enhance attraction. Pheromones like androstadienone, found in armpit sweat, not only boost mood but also have sexually arousing properties. The sight of sweat on hairy armpits is also seen as sexually appealing.
Warmth and Hair
Armpits retain warmth, which enhances their appeal when touched. Additionally, the presence of hair in armpits is often seen as attractive due to the visual appeal of the hair strands.
Good Ol’ Fashioned Masculinity
The growth of pubic hair marks puberty and is considered a symbol of masculinity, making hairy pits attractive to many.
Show That You’re in Control
Dominance excites many during sexual role plays. In armpit fetish play, a dominant partner can boost arousal by pressing the submissive’s face into their armpit. This incorporates a smell fetish, intensifying the experience.
Wondering How You can bring Your Armpit Fetish into the Bedroom?
Well, communication and consent are key when exploring desires in any relationship, whether it’s monogamous, polyamorous, or purely sexual. It’s crucial to ensure both partners’ needs are met in a safe environment.
To safely introduce armpit fetish play, start by asking questions to establish comfortable boundaries. Examples include:
- “Do you like this?”
- “Are you okay with this?”
- “How does this feel?”
- “Are you comfortable with this?”
- “Does this feel good to you?”
Tip 1
Be Concsious. Always take note if your partner expresses displeasure. It’s important not to dismiss these signals but to respect them to maintain a safe atmosphere.
Tip 2
Enhance sensations. Armpit fetish stimulation often comes from the smell and taste of the armpit. Enhancing these sensations can involve licking, kissing, and smelling your partner’s armpits, along with engaging in sexual acts involving the underarms. When starting, licking and kissing the armpit can be enjoyable. To ensure comfort, avoid using deodorant or other odor-blocking hygiene products for a few hours, or even days, before intimacy.
Tip 3
Keep it natural. To preserve natural body odor, consider reducing your usual showering routine before sexual encounters. Also, discourage shaving to keep body hair intact, explaining to your partner how this enhances your pleasure.
Tip 4
Anticipation. Sexting pictures of your armpits can also heighten sexual tension and anticipation.
Tip 5
Bagpiping. This type of pleasure is inclusive of all genders and can lead to an act known as “bagpiping.” Named after the musical instrument because of the similar technique used, bagpiping involves stimulating the penis with the friction of an unlubricated underarm, providing unique sexual pleasure.
What Body Odor Can Add-On to Your Relationship?
Change, they say, is the only constant in life. It can be both positive and negative, but deviating from routine certainly keeps the world spinning.
Human sexuality is fluid, making sexual exploration vital for the health and longevity of committed relationships. Exploring a fetish, like the armpit fetish, can transform your outlook on sex and might just be the spark needed to ignite your relationship.
To ensure your exploration goes smoothly, always obtain your partner’s consent before engaging in any sexual fantasies. Engage in sexual acts safely to minimize the risk of injuries, and communicate your sexual needs and fears openly. Create a space where your partner also feels comfortable sharing theirs.
These steps lay the foundation for a stronger relationship, a healthier sex life, and more pleasurable experiences with your partner.
Having been in the fetish industry for a long time, I’ve heard from many how exploring the armpit fetish has deepened their connections with their partners. They’ve discovered that by setting aside societal norms about what is acceptable and what is off-limits, the quality of their sex lives has significantly improved. I’m genuinely happy for them and hope their happiness continues to flourish.
How Playing with Armpits can Boost your General Well Being
Closed mouths don’t get fed. If you keep your sexual needs and fantasies to yourself, you’ll miss out on fulfilling them. Be assertive! Everyone has needs, and yours are just as valid even if they’re different from what most people might expect. Clearly communicate your desires with your partner, listen carefully to theirs, and together build a space of love, trust, and sexual freedom.
Explore beyond the basics. Whether it’s neck fetish, body worship, smell fetish, hair fetish or more adventurous kinks like suspension or pee fetish, exploring these can deeply enhance your connection and broaden your sexual horizons.
Liberate yourself from societal judgments. The only limitation we recognize is refusing to safely explore and embrace your full sexual expression.
