I think I was about 12. We went skiing with our church for a week. On the buss we started to talk about strength and muscles. I was a skinny kid and knew that alot of the girls where stronger than me. I turned me on. The other boys said the usual boys are stronger and so on… This one girl said m; No not always. Mum is realy strong and has big muscles. I had never ever thougth of her mum as strong or with muscles. She asked her mum to show is and she rolled up her sleeve and flexed a super round, peaked bicep. Maybe 13”. We all just dropped our jaws and stared. I so wanted to feel it. I never saw her muscles again but this started it for me.
At about 11 years old. Bodybuilding competitions were broadcast on TV, in the early nineties, in Russia it was still exotic. And after the men began to show women bodybuilders. And I was lost forever. I suspect it was a cut of different competitions from different years. Memories are extremely blurred, I remember in essence only a feeling of absolute aesthetic shock. It’s like I’m seeing an ideal that I didn’t even know existed.
I am not sure it happened in steps I was always attracted to powerful women before I even knew what sex was i remember taking a barbie doll and having her beat up my action man I was maybe only 4 years old I would like it when there where cartoons with women with superpowers
I saw the infamous xenia onatopp in goldeneye when I was 6 that confused me a lot about sex and gave me my scissor fetish I grew up just before internet was easy to access so I would watch sports like diving and gymnastics and I noticed that I really liked the legs of the women
when I was 12 we got a laptop so I could get some privacy while online but I did not want to visit real porn sites because I shared the laptop so I looked up the same sports videos and I found a lot of nice videos and images of fbbs and I fully embraced that I am into strong women
… I remember in essence only a feeling of absolute aesthetic shock. It’s like I’m seeing an ideal that I didn’t even know existed.
Exactly! I was in high school — so most probably this was in 1976 or 1977 — and my parents were watching 60 Minutes on the big old color TV in the family room. I happened to wander into the foyer next to the family room, and I could see from an angle that 60 Minutes was doing a segment which included interviews with pioneering female bodybuilders. I was awestruck. I heard (but could not see) my parents as they groaned, “Ew, gross.” So I stood silent and still — and transfixed — and awed — in the foyer through the entire segment. My parents had no idea I was watching. And so yeah: “I remember,” as our Russian friend says, “ … a feeling of absolute aesthetic shock. It’s like I’m seeing an ideal that I didn’t even know existed.”

That about sums it up. Like seeing a dragon or unicorn in real life. I never even imagined women could build bodies so magnificent, that it defied all logic. I hope heaven holds a special place for those of us who were never blessed to love and be loved by one of these beautiful human beings.
I was 12. We had just gotten the internet and I discovered Lynn McCrossin at Impulse Productions. A little more searching and found Colette Guimond. I was hooked from that day forward.
Two events-- Esquire July 1975, the "Viva Machisma!" pictorial. I've never been able to find it since, and I don't remember her name, but I remember the first female bodybuilder I saw. I was 11.
And of course, that episode of Real People on NBC, featuring Laura Combes!
Best guess would be somewhere between 10 and 15. That would be the FBBs of the late 2000s and early 2010s. I really liked Johanna Dejager back then, but I don't know if she was from the late 2000s or earlier. There are two early events I remember. One was my swim coach, she, had that typical swimmers build. Wide shoulders, narrow waist, long lean muscles. The other was from when we had our lunch break in school and it was raining so we stayed in. People started armwrestling and a few of the guys were even beaten by a few of the girls. I eventually started looking up videos of the "strongest women in the world" on YouTube and that was it. I was hooked!
I was 18. I was kind of on the fence before then, sneaking a watch of Gladiators, Kiana Tom, or fbb contests on ESPN, being weirded out but also aroused and fascinated.
When I hit college and discovered USENET's alt.amazon-women.admirers, and uudecoded my first JPEG (it was of Lenda Murray), it was all over for me.
I always liked a fit body on anyone, but I think I really got into it when I was 11-12 in 2008-2009, I used watch fbbs on my phone, I really liked Alina Popa and Heidi Vuorela, at that time Heidi wasn't this big but super defined I remember her working out in a guns & roses tank top
I can't age it that well and can't even tell the exact moment or episode that turned me into the muscle women direction. I can remember few frames in my head since I was a kid, but every time a girl was strong or could show muscles - mostly accidentally - I was turned on and something exciting was happening inside of me. I was just a child to recognize what was going on but growing I realized I was only attracted by muscular girls. I'm pretty sure some small episodes happened in my very early years leading me to feel attracted by muscles but hard to identity one in particular. Something I've been wondering about all my life is if I was just born this way or just something happened that I can't remember. It doesn't matter that much, I'm happy with it and do not regret but it was hard to understand myself during my teenage years when all the other guys are were going crazy for naked girls with exposed boobs and I was not interested at all. Kinda feeling cool having different tastes than average tho :)

Wow... if I had to write something, I'd write exactly what you've written
At first I didn't quite know, just every time I saw some girl powering up in some tv show (like when Olivia took the spinach in Popeye ,she hulk or any strong girl content) I was fascinated but also didnt want anyone to know as I felt ashamed.
When I started getting aroused by girls in general, I was mind blown by most of the regular models, like clothe models, and it was really popular in the nineties, it was the time of models on TV and magazines. So I look for any sign of great bust or ass, but I was crazy about boobs. From regular boobs to silicon boobs monsters, I kind of went that way. Love any silicon boob baby in every production available.
So I started noticing a trend, the models that was more into fitness was the ones with the hotter bodies. Onces I saw an interview with a "body double" of some female actress. And her face was fine, "not a model" or "not an actress", but her body was just a work of art, it had like some extra mass that went just in the right places, a beautiful skin.
So I went from fitness and kind of reverse my path into the she-hulk fantasy.
I would say around the age of 13, 14 in 2003/04 time frame. when I started watching WWE. Attitude Era had passed but I became a super fan and started watching old ppvs.
Joanie Laurer (Chyna) caught my attention. She was strong and beautiful. I was instantly attracted to her. She was booked really well too at the time. Winning the intercontinental title and other cool stuff.
Nothing more to it. I didn't experience any existential crisis like most of these threads turn into. I was just a fan of sport where you are supposed to like and cheer your "heroes" and she was an underdog pioneer. Doing something that wasn't done before.
. Adding some pictures. We need some in this thread I think. .
I was around 10 or 11--
My 6th grade teacher used to keep Popular Mechanics mags around the classroom and they had the Total Body Gym or Bowflex inserts. Around the same time I sometimes had trouble sleeping and would be up in the middle of the night watching those old infomercials or exercise classes where there was usually one very fit woman. Muscle and Fitness and Flex mags used to be at the supermarket too and if I could sneak away to look at them I would. This was right at the internet boom and I started looking at the old Boomerflex, Femflex, FemSport sites.
There are a couple earlier instances when I saw a competition or two on tv but they happened so fast I never really got to look into it. I was also younger, and the internet didn't exist really so that was the end of that.
idk, it was somewhere in primary school i think i was like 8. ive read some power ranger comics and the female rangers were depicted as muscular, that was when it hit me
My first memories go back to when I was 10. One of our neighbours was a male bodybuilder. He had muscle magazines and this is where I discovered, I think for the first time, female bodybuilders.
But even before, I think around 9, I started to feel something special for strong/tall/thick women, although I think I was not aware of the existence of female bodybuilders yet.
Since then, this has literally never changed.
For as long as I can remember, muscular physiques and strength amaze me. Even in my earlier childhood, my favourite cartoon characters were muscular ones. But back then, naturally, I had no idea what attraction is. That only lasted up until 9 or 10 years of age. Then puberty kicked in. I started to get aroused by female bodies. I was constantly finding myself staring photos of girls in bikinis on the internet. Then somehow, I came across with this photo of Cindy and Britt:
My eyes popped out of their sockets, I was shocked. My heart was galloping like a horse. I was feeling attraction, but much more intense than before. Their strong and curvy muscles took my breath off. I was literally drooling before their beauty. I had no idea that female bodybuilders existed back then. I had saved and admired this photo for months and it's still in my archive.
Then I started searching for muscular girls instead. Back then I couldn't speak English, so I only found a handful of photos and videos of muscular girls. Some of the earlier girls that I've found besides Cindy and Britt were : Nicole Berg, Mz Devious, Nikki Fuller, Erica Cordie
I've watched their videos for dozens of times and every time I watch them, I was getting excited like the first time. These are some of them:
Nicole : https://youtu.be/279Hx_X_upQ https://youtu.be/s9h7ACmWu4A (this was instantly turning me on)
Mz Devious: https://youtu.be/pRUk6m-t9UY (this still raises my heart rate lol)
Nikki: https://youtu.be/gfqbpqj0BlM https://youtu.be/TxxUmibEy9Q
Erica: https://youtu.be/hya95mjsFEw https://youtu.be/76BCBotwDh8
My female muscle love started with FBBs at the beginning. But now I'm more into bikini and figure girls.
Sorry for the long post but this is an important part of my life 😅
I was 14 (or maybe 15) when I watched Ballistic with Cory Everson on TV. This experience shifted/expanded my interests from feats of female strength towards female muscles. Later I watched Nemesis II Nebula with Sue Price on TV, then a few fitness championships on TV and, finally, the internet made tons of material available.
Now I prefer the 1980's bodybuilding (contests and competitors) over that of the later decades.
I was very surprised at the varying ages some of us were when we became enamored with a female with muscles. Maybe they didn't actually take our soul but I cannot be without it. It seems the older guys, like myself, discovered we loved a girl with muscle at a very early age, 7 for myself. A lot of you seemed to be in your mid teens and female bodybuilding, got your undivided attention. Growing up in the 60s like I did, there were zero female bodybuilders. The only muscular females were circus performers and certain athletes. I was very fortunate to have maybe half a dozen girls in my high school with muscular arms and terrific biceps. One particular blond with gorgeous biceps used to brush her hair daily and those strokes through her long blond hair made her right biceps roll up into a perfect peak. She sat right in front of me. The only time she ever flexed was when she told the boy next to her, that her muscles were funny looking and she half flexed to show him. Nothing "Funny Looking" about her biceps. They were very developed and peaked. Hair brushing, tussling with their hair, that's about the only way we'd see female biceps way back then. How about the rest of you? How old were you?
