DEFINITION OF MUSCLE WORSHIP

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!

HISTORY OF MUSCLE WORSHIP

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.

And you know what else?

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).

Which leads us to our next point.

MUSCLE WORSHIP AND MUSCLE GOD AMBROSIA

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.

MUSCLE WORSHIP ACTIVITIES

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.

These include:

Touching
Stroking
Licking
Caressing
Kissing
Petting

MUSCLE WORSHIP ROLES

There can be roles involved with this activity but not always. Sticking to the traditional definition of muscle worship, here are some related points:

Usually, the person being worshiped is involved with body building or athletic training (i.e. gym).
The worshiper is often smaller in size. Less common are two guys who have the same build (but it does happen).
The guy being worshiped is usually considered to be the “dominant” person or the “Muscle God”.
Verbal commands by the body builder and submissive behaviors by the worshiper are often part of the experience.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR THE MUSCLE GOD?

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.

GROUP MUSCLE WORSHIP

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.

Here are some related points:

It is believed group male muscle worship has its origins during the early 300’s, during the previously mentioned Hellenistic age.
Group worship takes place in the current era when one considers male, muscled up male dancers who put on “shows” at various gay nightclubs.
The man being worshiped does not need to be “gay” in order to partake in the group (see next point).
Some forms of group muscle worship take place online. For example, Facebook groups like “The Real Muscle Gods”.

GAY FOR PAY AND MUSCLE WORSHIP

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:

No touching private parts
It’s OK to caress but no kissing
No self-pleasuring allowed

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).

FINDING MEN FOR MUSCLE WORSHIP

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:

Hook up apps
Craig’s List
Kink and Fetish focused websites
BDSM portals

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.
