Another unpopular opinion

Aug 10, 2024 - permalink

The "sport" of bodybuilding seems undignified when compared to actual athletic endeavors like the Olympics and even Crossfit. Think about it... women work on repetitive, targeted muscle exercises for many years, obsess about everything they eat, post incessantly on social media with carefully posed photos announcing how many weeks out from the next contest, inject themselves with male hormones to make their muscles even larger, starve themselves to the brink of ill-health to make their bodies look like anatomical drawings (except for the usual breast enhancement surgery).

The human endocrine system is delicately poised and doesn't respond well to tampering, so most of this growth injecting could have far-reaching consequences that take years to show up. Look how many paragons of health (like Katie Lee) have had terrible, life-threatening health problems early in life. It's a very dangerous thing to mess with because they increase the likelihood of cancer, among many other potential dire consequences.

For these shows (for which they pay an entry fee in hopes of getting a "pro card," which isn't really a credential so much as a level-up that allows them access to more extreme contests), they dye themselves dark brown, pay hundreds of dollars to have their makeup look like something a drag queen would do, pay hundreds for a non-functional bikini and high-heeled shoes, all so they can walk out on a hotel ballroom stage where a group of "professionals" sit in hotel chairs and mark down what is wrong with them.

If they are really lucky, one of the established site-owning men (or Annie Rivecchio) will engage them for a photo shoot or invite them to a cam site where they can flex their muscles while men like us masturbate because we have a muscle fetish. Or they can go all-in like Lee Keyrouz or Gracie Parker and make thousands on Onlyfans by selling subscriptions, but they better hope that they retain their current liberal attitude about being a porn star because those movies and images will last literally forever and potentially be seen by millions of people. If I saw Carina Thompson working at a car wash I would recognize her even though it's been thirty years since I bought her video. Dame with Debbie Kruck.

Add to this the fact they might get cancer and lop quite a few years off their life because of the steroids.

I mean, I'm glad because I have had an almost crippling muscle fetish since I first read about Katie Sandwina in the Guinness Book of World Records when I was nine. I have always been attracted to muscles, but never to dicks (which is how I know I'm hetero with a kink instead of gay... it's one thing to fantasize about muscle, but it's quite another to put your buddy's cock in your mouth).

I watched Laura Coombs on Real People when I was 14 and literally came in my pants. I got every issue of WPW when it was hot off the press, and the first thing I looked for on the internet was "female bodybuilder." I dated one for a while, but when I realized how crazy she was I lost interest and came close to getting a restraining order when she refused to accept that I was breaking up with her. That's when I realized I could have imaginary sex with any and every FBB I could look at, and the minute I came they would vanish until next time. I know every FBB from Katie Sandwina to Pudgy Stockton to Bev Francis, all they way to Peyton Dutcher to Manon LeFebvre (my newest favorite).

I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on my fetish, but I don't kid myself. This is abnormal. That doesn't mean I will ever change. I never talk about it, never share it. It's nobody's business but mine, and it stays in my fantasy realm like all good fetishes should.

What do you think?

I just think fbbs look very attractive and being stronger is an advantage. but becoming an fbb is clearly pushing the human body to the limit so that is why they are so rare. some fbbs end up dying young because of heart attacks and other issues. but others seem to age well and remain strong and fit and sexy even when they are very old. so I think women can be healthy and super muscular but maybe not at the most extreme levels. I am also a big fan of other types of athletes bodybuilding is all about looks so they are the most attractive. but crossfitters are almost as sexy and I can say the same for all types of female athletes. looks like you personally had a bad time dating an fbb and you wasted a lot money on porn or sessions. I only spend maybe 50€ on a bunch of paysite videos and even that wasn't worth it. so I understand why you have become cynical about fbbs and dislike the sport now

You have explained this 'interest' in muscular women extremely well Untergr8. By being so open and so very competent in touching upon all of the main themes, and in so very few words (amazing actually), you have touched many if not every GWM fan deeply. Thank you for opening your heart to us. Everyone on this site will be thinking now.

We appreciate you sharing, I know what you mean, mine was Janice Ragain and Lori Bowen when I was a teenager. I was mesmerized by them and thought I wanted to marry a woman that looked like that. But my first 'holy sh*t' moment where I gasped out loud, that even made me steal the magazine, was the June 85 WPW cover with Krista Parr. I literally stole that magazine risking arrest, and tried to be alone as soon as possible.

I also agree that these women put themselves through a lot to look the way they do, and sometimes I feel kind of selfish for not thinking of the long term harm they sometimes do to themselves for the sport.

Unpopular maybe, but a lot of truth in there - thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I see bodybuilding as a celebration of the human body, with an extreme focus on it's overdeveloped muscularity. It is not healthy but fascinating for many to see what a body can look like and to which extent it can be trained.

Yes. bodybuilders are obsessive over their food, take PEDs and post physique pictures on social media, but those things also exist in every other sport (including strength sports.) CrossFitters (I am one myself) go through the same things (and yes, there is a lot of PED use in both elite and local level competitions.) When you train at a high level in a competitive sport, you are absolutely sacrificing training for health for the sake of performance, regardless of what the sport is. As someone who is not a bodybuilder and instead has only competed in non-aesthetic strength sports, I don't think bodybuilding is any more "undignified" than the other disciplines you mentioned.

I mean, I'm glad because I have had an almost crippling muscle fetish since I first read about Katie Sandwina in the Guinness Book of World Records when I was nine. I have always been attracted to muscles, but never to dicks (which is how I know I'm hetero with a kink instead of gay... it's one thing to fantasize about muscle, but it's quite another to put your buddy's cock in your mouth).

Uh, why the explicit explanation and detail about how you know that you are not gay? I swear, some people here really go out of their way to explain just how hetero they are. It almost feels more like projection. It doesn't matter, and nobody cares.

Again, why the all the explicit details? I'm sorry you had an abusive relationship with another bodybuilder, but (and please correct me if I am wrong,) but it sounds like you are assuming that that would be the case of all other women bodybuilders (I will add that I say that because I have seen other people on here claiming that all bodybuilders are narcissistic and bad for long-term relationships.

And it's not "abormal" in any sense of the word to spend money on things that make you happy, fetish or otherwise. I am sure that there are people out there who say that I waste money by spending a good amount of money on basically paper (I play Magic the Gathering,) but for me it's a good value because I enjoy it and it doesn't affect my ability to pay for my everyday basic necessities and living expenses. So long as you aren't spending to the point of it having a negative impact on your life, it's not an "abormal" or a bad thing.

I don't see bodybuilding as a sport, for me, it's a beauty contest! I'm not belittling the athletes' effort, just giving my opinion. I agree that it is an ideal of beauty unattainable without the use of some substances, but the same occurs in all sports. In any sport, athletes use substances in order to improve conditioning, whether for strength, endurance and or speed. The difference is that in bodybuilding, the results are much more explicit! I mean, runners reach impressive marks, swimmers and etc... but no one stops to think "Is it possible to achieve this result naturally?" In the case of bodybuilding, everyone knows that, of course, it is impossible to reach the physique of athletes, whether men or women. But anyway, it's a choice of the athletes themselves. Regarding my attraction to muscular women, I have always liked it. Since my childhood, even before puberty, I thought women with bodies full of muscles were beautiful. At that time it was much more difficult to find related material, so we had to hope that some competition was televised, that the subject was the subject of some report, or cartoons and movies. One of the first times I saw a muscular woman was in David Lee Roth's "California Girls" music video. I was also fascinated by the runner Florence Griffith-Joyner, considered extremely muscular for the time. I've been drawing since I was a child, and I still draw as a hobby. As a child, I drew muscular girls. One fine day, watching the cartoon ThunderCats, those wild characters appeared, the warrior maidens, which sparked my imagination and soon I took out my sketchbook to transform those characters who were already athletic into really muscular women. On this occasion I was really "excited" and whenever I finished the drawing, I thought "Can I make it more muscular?" I was making another and another drawing, the girls getting more and more muscular until... I came in my pants. It was the first time I had come and I was scared, because I didn't know what had happened. At that time, we didn't have as much information as we have today, there was no internet, sex was not a debated subject, anyway... I never had doubts about my sexual orientation, I was always sure about being straight, because as I said the attraction is for muscular women, not men. I talk openly about it, on my Facebook I posted photos of competitions and etc... My desktop currently has the photo of Leyvina Barros, but it already had Denise Masino and etc... Everyone who knows me knows and those who don't like it, fuck it! My last ex-girlfriend thought these girls were beautiful and was jealous that I liked this body type. She even said that she would be muscular to conquer me, however, I told her that I already loved her and that she didn't need to change for me, unless she really wanted to, because as said before, it is an unattainable goal without the use of substances that can be harmful to health. Yes, I would like her to become a huge bodybuilder, but of her own volition, not to impress me.
