Muscle worship
“I remember a story about two of my friends, Jake and Liam, who met partly because of muscle worship. Don’t worry, I got their consent. Both Jake and Liam willingly shared their experience so I could pass it along to you.
So, one evening, they were both heading to Finnish sauna after the gym. As soon as they stepped into the sauna, they realised there was just the two of them, two muscular guys in a small, steamy space. Their sweat covered muscles seemed to glow making everything literally even hotter.
Jake was the first to notice that he was looking at Liam’s almost naked body, with just a towel hiding his intimate parts. His muscles were visible and pumped after the gym. I guess it surprised him a bit how attracted he was to that.
Turns out, Liam was having the same thoughts about Jake. I mean, they’d been looking at each other’s muscles with admiration and respect at the gym as well, but this was different. They both realized that something was shifting between them. It wasn’t weird though, it was their curiosity was pulling them in.
I won’t tell you all the details on how they were pleasuring each others sweaty bodies. I find it fascinating how deeply people can be drawn to something as simple as muscles.
All I know is that they’ve been enjoying each other until they couldn’t sit there anymore, they then continued exploring their bodies in the shower… The whole sauna thing intensified how they felt in that moment…
After that, they started to talk more openly about it, excited about where it might take them and how it added this fun new thing to their relationship.“

What is Muscle Worship Kink?
The kink known as muscle worship (sometimes called sthenolagnia) features an intense sexual arousal to a partner’s strong body and visible muscles.
People often confuse sthenolagnia with cratolagnia. While they are both listed as paraphilias and unusual sexual practices it is important to distinguish between the two terms.
One refers to sexual arousal from displaying strength or muscles—sthenolagnia. The other refers to sexual arousal from power or dominance—cratolagnia.
Muscle worship has been a part of the bodybuilding world for a long time, going back to when bodybuilding became popular. It’s not only about admiring someone’s muscles, but can also include a respect, admiration, and, for some, even sexual pleasure. People who are into muscle fetish might get sexually aroused and enjoy touching, feeling, or even kissing a bodybuilder’s muscles, while others are content with just watching them flex and pose, either in person or through online videos.
In short, muscle worship varies from person to person. Some see it as pure admiration of physical achievement, while others incorporate it into their sexual desires or fetishes. It’s a broad spectrum of interest that’s tied closely to bodybuilding culture.
What About Female Bodybuilders?
Muscle worship isn’t limited to men. Female bodybuilders also experience a unique version of this admiration. In fact this fetish is very popular among gay men, female bodybuilders but also straight men. It also attracts many others type of muscle worshippers.
From a psychological perspective, the attraction to muscular shape may come from admiration for physical power and resilience. Muscle fetish might make people feel safe by letting them find comfort in someone else’s strength.
For bodybuilders, especially females the attention they get from fans can be a form of validation.
Some enjoy being admired for their hard work, as it reflects the dedication they’ve put into building their physique. Although muscle worship isn’t always sexual, it can have an erotic side for some people.
Others simply admire the aesthetics of large muscles and don’t associate it with any sexual feelings. But for those who are really into it, the bigger the muscles, the better—whether the bodybuilder has a hairy or shaved physique doesn’t matter.
What is Visible Muscle Mass?
When we say “a lot of muscle,” it’s really about what looks big to you. For some, it’s bodybuilders with clear muscle definition. Visible muscle mass just means you can see the muscles easily because the person has built them up and has low enough body fat to show them off. For guys, that’s usually at 10-15% body fat, and for women, it’s around 18-25%. It’s all about how much muscle stands out and how lean someone is, which varies for everyone.
What are Muscle Worship Sessions?
Muscle worship sessions are private, often paid experiences where an admirer gets to appreciate a bodybuilder or highly muscular person up close. These sessions typically include activities like flexing, posing, or light touching, and may involve the admirer massaging or even kissing the muscles of the bodybuilder. The primary focus is on the physical admiration of muscular strength and development, which could happen in person or through virtual platforms, depending on the arrangement.
While some sessions remain purely about physical admiration, others may have a more erotic or fetishistic element, depending on the comfort and agreement between the participants.
In many cases, bodybuilders offer these sessions as a way to monetize their physiques, especially if bodybuilding alone doesn’t provide steady income.
How Do You Worship Muscles?
When it comes to how to worship muscles, it usually involves focusing on the visual and tactile aspects of the bodybuilder’s physique. The admirer may ask the bodybuilder to flex or pose, and then touch or feel the muscles as they are being flexed.
Some people prefer to simply watch while others want to be more hands-on, massaging the muscles or rubbing oils to highlight the muscle definition.
Mutual respect and boundaries are prioritised in these interactions to ensure both the bodybuilder and the admirer enjoy the experience. It’s not uncommon for these sessions to take place after bodybuilding competitions or in specialized settings where muscle enthusiasts can meet professionals.
Truth About Muscle Fetish and Extremely Muscular Women
Muscle fetish isn’t just about drooling over how pumped someone is, especially when it comes to extremely muscular women. Sure, the muscles are impressive, but it’s more about admiring the work and dedication behind them.
People often think strength is about treating others like objects, but it actually involves a lot of respect. Think of the effort behind those biceps! And for muscular women, it can be empowering to see someone admiring the hard work they’ve done.
So, next time you hear “muscle worship,” remember it’s less about the flex and more about the respect. And maybe a little about those sexy muscles—let’s be honest =)
Final Thoughts
Remember, if your first experience with muscle kink doesn’t go as planned—maybe you were unsure where to start, or felt a bit awkward—don’t give up on it just yet.
If you think it could be more enjoyable with a little more partner talk, more practice or a smoother setup, it’s definitely worth trying again.
Like most new sexual experiences, trying new kink can take a bit of getting used to, and that learning curve can be part of the fun.
Just make sure to prioritize what feels good for both of you and keep safety and consent in mind at all times.
