Muscle worship is typically engaged between an individual that has a desire to see a muscular person show off their bodies and potentially exhibit the implied strength and dominant potential of themselves with them. Muscle worshipping, although seemingly straightforward, is practiced in a number of fashions and can be enjoyed in a number of ways. The best way to categorize the forms of muscle worship are passive and active engagements with muscular individuals. It should be noted that both men and women can act as the worshipper and worshiped in these sessions.
A form of passive muscle worship is just the simple appreciation and admiration for muscular individuals in social settings, such as at a store or on a bus. This voyeuristic aspect is very easy to engage in and some individuals may even sign up to gyms in order to see individuals that have large muscles in a very muscle-focused environment. Another form of passive muscle worship is attending bodybuilding competitions or having personal one on one sessions with a bodybuilder so that they can show off their bodies to you in a direct and non-voyeuristic fashion.
Forms of active muscle worship typically take place in a sporty environment, with contact often being utilized between the worshiper and the worshipped. The muscle individual may request to be touched, massaged, kissed or licked over their bodies and in specific areas with heightened muscular definition (such as the biceps). As a more direct form of muscle worship that utilizes domination and submission, a person may be held in a number of different wrestling holds or just be squeezed in order to experience the physical strength and power of the person they’re worshipping.
Two words are uncommonly used to describe muscle worship, but represent the most prevalent and accepted terms that are associated with the fetish. These are sthenolagnia, which means to be sexually aroused from the display of muscles, and cratolagnia, which means to be sexually aroused from the display of strength.
One particularly interesting and noteworthy case of muscle worship is through the exploits of both a consensual and criminal nature of a man known as Akinwale Arobieke, also known as ‘Purple Aki’ by locals in the Liverpool region. He has been arrested and charged numerous times for various unsolicited attempts to touch and feel the muscles of people in public. He even had a court-ordered ban for touching, feeling, or measuring muscles as well as asking people to do squats in public. He is a bodybuilder himself and has been in prison numerous times for various offenses related to the practice of touching people’s muscles.
