vice | "I feel a special frisson with muscular women. The idea of a woman
being stronger than me, and the sexual possibilities that that entails,
is something I find extremely exciting."
Johnny, 37, is a
technical trainer with the British Army. As a conventionally handsome
guy in decent physical shape, Johnny is one of many men in the UK who
engages in the otherwise unconventional practice of muscle worship. Also
known as "sthenolagnia," muscle worship is a sexual paraphilia where a
person becomes sexually aroused by touching and "worshipping" the
muscles of a more physically dominant partner.
Male worshippers like Johnny are referred to in the muscle worship
subculture as "schmoes." The dominant women they adore are their
"goddesses." Although most schmoes can be found happily swarming around
the fringes of your local bodybuilding show, the erotic pleasure they
find in the strength and appearance of hyper-muscular women also
motivates them to seek out female bodybuilders for private sessions
where they can put those muscles to the test. These sessions can take
place anywhere from Airbnb apartments to, on special occasions, the
schmoe's own home. For many goddesses, sensual touching and wrestling is
as far as it ever goes. For others, sexual intercourse is also an
option.
"I've had several sessions," says Johnny. "They work out
at about £350 [$453] per hour. Some guys like to engage in serious
wrestling matches with the girls, but my own preference is for playful
wrestling while encouraging the woman to show off her strength by
lifting me and putting me in holds. The vast majority of sessions I've
had have ended in full sex. Some girls are known for always providing
sex. Others claim not to; but, in my experience, if the chemistry is
good in the room, good things invariably follow."
Johnny goes on
to explain how a surge of additional "goddesses" have become "available"
to him recently, as the direct result of rule changes to the sport of
women's bodybuilding.
The International Federation of Bodybuilding
& Fitness has removed the women's heavy-weight category from the
biggest global competitions (the Olympia, the Arnold Classic, and the
World Championships) and replaced it with Women's Bikini—a weight class
designed for lighter, more traditionally "feminine"-looking women. As
the larger athletes are being phased out, many find themselves wrestling
with men like Johnny to make ends meet. "There's barely any money in it
for women," says Wendy McCready, "even when you do turn pro."
