Do you ever feel "guilty" for having this fetish/attraction?

Feb 13, 2024 - permalink

Yep. Simple as that. I am in my 60's, and I have been attracted to muscular women since junior high school.

I used to be, but you cannot help what turns you on. Even in a relationship with a non muscular woman, they cannot expect you to stop finding muscular women hot. If they feel bad about your attraction, that’s on them. This comes from a life time of women getting offended by something I cannot help. Life is too short to feel guilty about stuff that is out of your control.

Yes, I am 22 years old and since I was a child I have had a very strong attraction to muscular women. Sometimes I feel guilty because I'm a normal Christian boy and it's like I have this dark side that leads me to those desires, you know. But I know that deep down I don't want to change because it's like I was born with this.

27 year old Christian man.

Loved muscular women as long as I could remember. Told all my exes and one got really mad.

To begin attracting a girl who was big-big (I don’t like a little biceps and abs, I love fbbs), I undertook bodybuilding and began training at 15. Now I’m 220 at 6’, I run test and primo.

Now I’m engaged. Great girl who also pursues bodybuilding to its fullest. I’m witnessing the growth of a budding fbb and living out my fantasy every day.

I feel 0% guilty. I am her coach and an endless well of knowledge for her programming, diet, and anabolic routine. She’s very grateful for me.

I don't feel guilty because I think people have a lot of different tastes. I like beautiful women and in addition to these traditional beautiful women, I also like muscular women. I have a friend who likes fat women. It doesn't bother me at all that he likes fat women. I have another friend who is attracted to red heads. I figure that everyone has their own tastes. Think of it this way, do you know anybody who criticizes a man for loving beautiful women.

A fetish is an arbitrary concept (alters with contemporaneous, societal tropes) so any guilt attached to it, should be arbitrary too. That's my take on it...

I do feel guilt when it comes to this. It wasn’t always like that though. Female muscle had been a part of my life for over 35 years. I think I was maybe between 9-11 when I first saw a woman with a built physique. Now that I’ve been married for 17 years to a woman who has never shown interest in training like this or gaining any muscle I feel like I sold myself short in my earlier years. Not pursuing my interest in women like this but rather just looked at them as unattainable and strictly fantasy. I did my first session on the late side. 2013 I think was the first. Before that it was kind of innocent. My wife found out about a session I had and we had a rough patch following that. I did several other session after that she doesn’t know about. The guilt was building My kids were born the first part of 2013 and with twins it was non stop during the early stages. And it really hasn’t slowed down since. My sex life with my wife is lacking. Lots of factors. Kids. Work. Getting older. Who knows. But I turn to this, to cam sites, and others, to replace what I miss from her.

I could go on and on but I’ll save you all. This would have cost me a few hundred bucks to say to someone laying on a couch Can’t wait to hear the feedback

I was guilty about 10-12 years ago due to to the point that I settled in a relationship. Despite meeting many beautiful women that are my time, I caved into the pressure. As time went on, my fetish turned into what I'm really attracted to. As a result, I became unhappy and ended that relationship.

I'm not guilty anymore as I realized about recent months of reflection of my dating history and short encounters that strong, muscular preferably tall woman is what Ive always dated and attracted to. I know what I wanted the entire time but it didn't cross my mind.

In fact when I was around 13, 14 years old my girlfriend at the time was muscular (awesome abs). I'll discuss more in another thread

I'm in ok shape but am underweight and the physical activity I enjoy doesn't involve the gym or lifting weights. Nor could I really see myself ever adopting the kind of lifestyle these women have. I just don't think I have the desire.

So yes, I feel guilt in the sense that if people knew of my attraction to these women, anybody would see that it's a purely sexual thing that has nothing to do with my own lifestyle. Invariably, this would make me look weird.

I have never felt guilty per se about my attraction to muscular women. Only embarrassed a lot when I was younger, to the point of shame and self resentment even; like sometimes when some of my family members saw some tabs or history on our pc growing up (rookie error I know) and another time when I had friends over mine when growing up (I had lots of drawings I used to do of muscular women in my early teens lol). My family didn't really care, my mum found it funny/endearing and reassured me its totally fine. But some of my friends did briefly tease me about it, which is fine, was just banter really! They even forgot about, it didnt beomce something that defined me as a person. But it did make me feel a bit embarrassed, and I remained to keep this fetish hidden for many years.

Now I'm completely open about it to people I'm close with and I'm super grateful that 'muscle mommies' are trending on social media, as it's become alot more normalised to have this fetish. Also I have figure there's ways of making it seem more normal; since i'm now a gymrat myself, I just exclaim that I'd want a girl thats also into the gym and that each gender has muscle already, so it's not weird to like muscle on girl and any arguments against are outdated in todays society!

The point about liking womens physiques that are mostly achieved via PEDs is interesting though. Women are also highly guilty of this, since mens body standards has skyrocketed, I remember when Toby Maguire transformed in Spider Man 2002, he looked pretty jacked, now that physique would be percieved as skinny/lean.

I feel its symptomatic of western society going wrong, which it is on many levels. Like the fact that we feel weird if we leave the house without our mini computers in our pockets, how it's 100% normal for girls to have constant face paint on and now inject plastic in their faces, how we ingest processed food on the daily (tide is shifting on that one), also the normalisation of birth control is a controverlsial one, don't get me started on AI. My point is, is that there's so many parts of modern society that's unnatural, it's no surprise that we also fetishise unnatural physiques imo

I'm also Christian but I don't think you should feel guilty if you are not objectifying women. God created men and women with muscles. That's why I see nothing wrong with being attracted to muscular women from a Christian perspective if you don't lust over them and objectify them. I see them as people who worked hard to develop their physiques.

I don't feel guilty because I think people have a lot of different tastes. I like beautiful women and in addition to these traditional beautiful women, I also like muscular women. I have a friend who likes fat women. It doesn't bother me at all that he likes fat women. I have another friend who is attracted to red heads. I figure that everyone has their own tastes.

Totally agree! Liking muscular women is a personal preference, no different from liking women who look a certain way. Even people on this site have different preferences for the type of muscular women they want based on the polls.

I wouldn't feel guilty unless I was seriously pursuing a sexual/romantic interest with an FBB behind my wife's back. I feel like it's a tough thing to be super-attracted to, though. It's a super-specific attraction, after all.

This is me. Never had a session though. Came real close a few times.

Honestly, but why should someone ever feel guilty for having a certain type in girls? I just dont get that, like a friend of mine is more attracted to chubby girls, its just a personal preference, if anyone is giving you weird looks for it, your not the problem, they are

Maybe I don't explain myself well, it's not that I feel guilty for the fact that I like these women but for the thoughts and desires I feel when being in their presence or seeing them on the internet, it's like something very strong that I can't control.

Saying “I like fit chicks” is easy and honest and since I’m a competitor, nobody bats an eye.

Feb 28, 2024 - permalink

Sometimes I feel guilty, especially since most muscle women treat us like freaks. Lately, I've been struggling with the idea of expressing this attraction through a relationship. I'm less into fitness, more into art, so it'd probably be obvious that my interest comes from being a "schmoe".

because there's a difference between having a type and having a fetish. guilt is a response to shame, and if you feel ashamed about your sexual interests there's most likely some psychological origins/explanations (see: zarklephaser's various comments on various forums)

+1 Pretty much everybody around me knows that i'm falling in love with crossfit & fit girls pretty easily. The bigger the better and I dont hide it. Then fbb's like olympia level are 1st very rare 2nd not having long careers for most of them and if you ever are lucky to date one, their lifestyle might be totally unadapted for a random guy (all day at the gym diet all the time etc...) so in that case it only remains a fetish. Then if I was dating one I would't hide neither feel guilty for that!

Like for everything it is easier to buld a relationship if you share some common interests. A fbb has her whole life revolving around the gym so if you re not into training at all then that might be awkward.

In my limited experience, over a long life span, I have come to two conclusions.

When I've been with a woman, who was naturally buffed but not approving of her genetic muscularity, they opposed my attraction to their development. They almost treated me as a weirdo.

However, when I've been with a muscular woman, who worked hard, lifting weights for her physical development, my attraction and obvious approval, made them happy. They almost seemed empowered by how I reacted to their muscularity.

The only times I have ever felt guilty, was during intimacy with a non-muscled woman. My guilt was due to having to fantasize about a particular muscle girl, to get me going.

Feb 28, 2024 - permalink

I've often struggled with this myself.

I have in the past but more so out of fear of being called weird for liking muscular women
