Do you appreciate beautiful muscles on others’ bodies to the point of worship?
What Is Muscle Worship?
Muscle worship is the admiration and touching of another’s muscles and may involve kissing, massaging, or wrestling and other displays of strength. It’s a form of BDSM body worship, and the worshipper in this context is often a small or skinny submissive who reveres the muscles of a large, strong dominant.

Muscle worship and muscle fetish is seen across all genders and sexual orientations.
Muscle worship is popular and has its own place within the gay community wherein some men will only date or have sex with other men who work out. Some women may be attracted to trans men who bulk up. For some cis men, a preference for a juicy booty has been replaced by a strong muscled rump.
Muscle Worship as Fetish
A muscle fetishist will be sexually aroused at the sight of muscles or anything associated with muscles, such as bodybuilding, bodybuilding competitions, muscle flexing and posing, arm wrestling, massaging muscles, or simply touching muscles.
First and foremost the muscle fetish begins with the aesthetic of body muscles, how they uniquely look and feel differently. Size of muscles and which body part muscles one is attracted to will depend on the tastes of the individual fetishist.
Building muscles is hard work through daily discipline and practice, so part of what attracts fetishists is often the respect and appreciation for the dedication required.
Some fetishists have favorite muscles, just as body worshippers are partial to a specific part of the body. They may be satisfied with muscled calves if this is also a favorite body part, or a abdominal six pack might be all they need to get off. Other muscle fetishists like whole bodies that are shredded.

10 Ways to Worship Your Muscle God or Goddess

1. Undress their Muscles Slowly

2. Watch Your Muscle God or Goddess Pose
There is a big difference in appearance between a “soft” relaxed muscle to when it is taut and flexed. That transformation can be part of the turn on. You may need to ask for your lover to flex or they may enjoy flexing because they know it turns your crank.
Posing and flexing can be a simple walk-by, look-at-me moment, or it can be a scene on its own. Perhaps they pose while in states of undress, or roleplay as though they were in a bodybuilding or modeling competition. Maybe they’ll take direction from their admirer or give consent to nude photos!
