Muscle worship (also called sthenolagnia ) is a form of body worship in which one participant, the worshiper, touches the muscles of another participant, the dominant , in a sexually arousing manner. The practice of muscle worship can involve various wrestling holds and lifts , as well as the rubbing, massaging , kissing, or licking of a dominant's body. Although muscle worship participants may be of any gender or sexual orientation , the dominant (often a professional bodybuilder , fitness competitor , or wrestler ), is almost always an individual with either a large body size or a high degree of visible muscle mass, while the worshiper is often, but not always, skinnier or smaller. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

The Encyclopedia of Unusual Sex Practices lists sthenolagnia ("sexual arousal from displaying strength or muscles") and cratolagnia ("arousal from strength") as paraphilias associated with the practice of wrestling for erotic purpose, although there have been no studies concerning them. [6] [7] Forensic and Medico-Legal Aspects of Sexual Crimes and Unusual Sexual Practices, the 2008 comprehensive monograph of Anil Aggrawal , only defines the two terms, and does not provide any additional information. [8]

As with many BDSM -related practices, the amount of force and pain involved depends on the desires of the participants. While some dominants might use their size and strength to pin a smaller worshiper, thereby forcing that worshiper to come in contact with the dominant's muscles, others might only display their muscles and allow a worshiper to touch them. [5] People who participate in muscle worship generally find the practice sexually arousing, but some male bodybuilders offer muscle worship sessions only for monetary gain, as bodybuilding does not always guarantee a steady income. For well-known competitors, this can also draw in fans who want a chance to meet with and touch the muscles of bodybuilders whom they idolize. [5] [9]

Muscle worship is a fetish among some gay men, giving rise to a number of websites that display bodybuilders posing for admirers and offering private online posing shows. [10] [11] There are also sites devoted to women who enjoy worshiping male bodybuilders. Many other sites are oriented towards straight men who enjoy worshipping female bodybuilders and other fit, muscular women, either virtually or by arranging for in-person sessions.

"It pays well, and many guys are either doing it right now or have done it in the past. Even Arnold Schwarzenegger was rumored to be into this shit."

— Bodybuilder Gregg Valentino about muscle worship. [12]

In his book Death, Drugs, and Muscle: Surviving the Steriod Underworld , bodybuilder Gregg Valentino called muscle worship a "taboo subject in the world of muscle ," and noted that Arnold Schwarzenegger might have participated in muscle worship sessions in the past. [12]

In her master's thesis, Margaret Bourke-White considered Wilkie Collins' Man and Wife (1870) "a satire on muscle worship," as Collins criticized the excessive "glorification in England...of the mere physical qualities which an Englishman shares with the savage and the brute...[t]he manhood and muscles of England resemble the wool and mutton of England ..." [13] Therefore, muscle worship has also been used in reference to athletocracy, the preference of coaches towards elite athletes, as Arnold Lunn condemned the "school tradition of muscle worship" his novel The Harrovians (1913). [14] On a smiliar vein of criticism Kōbō Abe's The Ark Sakura (1984) contains a quarry populated, in part, by the Olympic Prevention League who shout "Down with muscle-worship!" [15] Another critic, Jean-Marie Brohm, holds that muscle worship is part of the "dominant ideology of sport, writing "[a]ll the values of the capitalist jungle are played out in sport: virility, sexual athleticism, physical dominance, the superman , muscle worship, fascistic male chauvinism , racism, sexism etc." [16]

Dance critic John Martin maintained that late-19th century dance focused on muscle culture, when "[e]very boy wanted to be a Sandow , and the muscle that was somehow of primary importance was the biceps." Martin further derided that "when certain spectacular muscles are developed to inordinate size they merely interefere with movement and the body becomes muscle bound." [17] In researching for his 2002 book, Skipping Towards Gomorrah , Dan Savage received an advance from eventual publisher Dutton to explore the Seven deadly sins , which included paying "a male escort with a body like an SUV whose specialty was "muscle worship" and who liked having his feet kissed for $500 an hour." [18]

If you’ve been out for any amount of time, you’ve no doubt heard of gay muscle worship. It’s a term that conjures up all sorts of mental imagery – from caressing biceps and kissing pecs.
But what’s it all really about? Is there more to adorning someone’s massive physique than mere touching? Moreover, do you have to be submissive to partake?
The answer to these questions and many more will soon be revealed. That’s because we’ve put together the very first muscle worship ultimate guide!
Gay muscle worship is no different than any other form of muscle worship. The clinical name of this activity is sthenolagnia : a ten-dollar term for getting aroused by a person’s muscles.
Specific to men who are attracted to other men, we define muscle worship as a male who gets turned on by well-built jocks, wolves, daddies , otters and bears!
The exact origins of muscle worship remain elusive. A review of the historical literature suggests it may have its origins during the time of ancient Greece; sometime around the early 300’s, BCE. Historians refer to this period of time as the Hellenistic age.
Bear in mind this was a time when homosexuality was very much part of the ethos. In fact, one of the greatest ways to pay homage to a male Greek God was to emulate his appearance.
When you look at the statues, paintings and carvings of “Andres” deities from the era, you’ll notice most all of them are muscular and defined.
Perhaps the best-known representation of muscular Greek men is seen in the mythical hero Hercules; son of Zeus and with a mortal mom named Alcmene.
Hercules was rumored to be extremely muscular and defined with an enormous appendage.
Legend has it Hercules was also into men. Well, perhaps bi. See this book on Greek legends to learn more.
Not to get off track but it was believed that one of the best ways to obtain male virility during this era was to obtain the ambrosia of the man, directly from the source (read between the lines).
Many people assume that muscle worship is all about adoration of brawn. Sure, some of that is true but in terms of history, that’s not what this activity was all about.
Instead, muscle worship – man on man – was a powerful form of foreplay. Here, a guy (or group of guys) would spend hours stimulating a given muscled up male and literally edging him to the point of eruption.
Some sessions are said to have gone on for hours. When the guy being worshiped could no longer contain himself, he would release a powerful stream of fluid.
And that white gold [as they termed it] didn’t go waste! Instead, it was eagerly swallowed by the worshiper to obtain his stamina, strength and power!
Now let’s look at muscle worship activities, which haven’t changed all that much since the time of the ancient Greeks.
When it comes to muscle worshiping, there’s no hard and fast rules. Generally speaking, there are a number of activities that fall within the brawn adoration spectrum.
There can be roles involved with this activity but not always. Sticking to the traditional definition of muscle worship, here are some related points:
It is probably obvious what the “worshiper” muscle gets out of the experience. But what about the man being kissed, licked and touched? How is he turned on?
The answer is simple. Guys who enjoy having other men worship their muscles find the experience highly satisfying. This is why some therapists prescribe “body worship” as a form of intimacy counseling with troubled couples.
Simply put, being worshiped is a huge compliment and an affirmation of their hard work at the gym.
It is not uncommon for groups to take place as part of muscle worship. This point is particularly true during “group scenes” that some people put together on popular hookup apps.
To make extra money, some self-identifying straight body builders do allow themselves to be worshiped by gay men. In its purest form, this constitutes a form of gay for pay .
In these scenarios, the heterosexual man allows himself to be touched in exchange for a set dollar amount. The cost of such worship is generally pre-determined.
Most straight guys who allow other men to adorn them set boundaries. Some examples include:
It’s important to state here that the examples provided above are just that – examples. Some heterosexual men may be perfectly OK with these activities.
It just depends on the guy and the level of trust he has with the worshiper(s).
If your goal is to find a muscled-up guy to worship, you won’t have much difficulty. That’s because there’s plenty of men who enjoy this activity and find the experience fulfilling.
Common places to find guys who like being worshiped include:
As a side note, some men get into other guys checking out their bodies and even pleasuring themselves while doing so. But it’s always a good idea to ask if it’s OK to touch – even when someone is putting on a show.
Just for fun, we’ve published a poll below that asks you to share your experiences with muscle worship. It’s not scientific but it can be used as a gauge of what your fellow fun seekers are into.
There are several myths regarding muscle worship. It would be impossible to list them all but we’ve tried to include the biggies.
Worshiping muscle among men as an erotic activity has been going on for hundreds of years. Its historical roots seem to trace back to ancient Greece.
Muscle worship also took place among Nordic Vikings during a time when being gay was a way of life.
