While I consider myself to be a very open-minded person, there's just something I find hard to grasp... While I realize there are tons of fetishes out there, (I'm in to several things myself,) I need help understanding what the allure is when it comes to a woman that looks like a man and has a mock-penis from all the steroids she's used. If you're a straight man, I'd love to know what the attraction is to someone like her... Not hatin' at all, I just want to understand.
Translated from the Russian-language forum
http://femtime.maxbb.ru/topic420.htmlThis is my reasoning about this strange phenomenon.
My reasoning may go in the wrong direction, at least I honestly tried to understand the features of the Sthenolagnia phenomenon and get to the bottom of its essence and establish the cause of its occurrence. Of course, fetish is more a field of sexology than psychology, but in my opinion, the first is so closely intertwined with human psychology that it is rather an appendage of it or just a part of it. At least these two sciences are closely linked and interact with each other all the time.
And so, we are dealing with FETISH. By nature, one of the foundations of a fetish is Attribute. The attribute replaces the object of sexual interest, as is often the case in the case of a fetish. In fact, there is a phenomenon of a strange inversion of consciousness. Splitting of consciousness due to the influence of subthreshold inclinations of our consciousness (subconsciousness) affecting the mind itself, which probably initially received a distorted development and different from the normal development of sexual life in childhood.
I will make a reservation right away that I did not completely understand the terminology proposed by Magnus HirschFeld, because this was not the main object of discussion in this, with your permission, article.
Sthenolagnia and Cratolagnia are a fetish of power.
Sthenolagnia - a fetish of the muscular body. The main attribute and object of adoration here is MUSCLES.
Cratolagnia - a fetish of power. The main attribute of sexual attention here is a demonstration of POWER. But these two fetishes, often very often coexist or even coexist in one person, since the presence of developed muscles already a priori implies the presence of strength and vice versa.
In one case or another, the object of sexual interest here is the demonstration of the physical EXCELLENCE of the sexual partner. It is widely believed that this phenomenon is often manifested among men and much less common among women. A confusion arises, what is considered Stenolania - a demonstration of one's muscles or an observation of a demonstration of other people's muscles? It is the same with kratolania. Let's try to deal with this problem in the future.
There are only two types of human sexual nature - heterophilic and homophilic. In other words, Heterosexuals tend to bond with a partner of the opposite sex, while homosexuals gravitate towards same-sex relationships. Heterosexuality is a generally recognized norm in nature and human life, since a priori is a part of the world order and an important part of the reproduction and continuation of human existence. Quite rightly, homosexuality is considered the strongest deviation from the norm of nature, which still takes place throughout the entire history of human existence, while it does not carry any value for the prolongation and development of the genus and from this point of view is a dead-end road.
According to statistics, for men who are influenced by the fetish of the Force, an INDISPENSABLE AND MANDATORY CONDITION of their sexual interest is the presence of only an individual of EXACTLY FEMALE as a sexual partner. That is, a HETEROSEXUAL relationship. Along with this, a woman's addiction to masculine strength and the physically developed body of a man is a common phenomenon and is not a deviation or a fetish, because this is inherent in nature, that is, a man should be stronger than a woman.
On the contrary, if a woman experiences sexual arousal from another woman who has developed muscles and physical strength, then this phenomenon has a HOMOSEXUAL coloration (lesbian sex) in which one of the female partners must be dominant, which is an inapplicable rule in homosexual relationships. Since lesbianism is homophilic in nature, it is in itself a deviation.
The same goes for homosexuality among men.
As we can see, Stenolania, Kraloagnia and Lesbianism and Pederasty (in men) lie in OPPOSITE areas of human sexual nature - Stenolania in heterophile, Lesbianism and Pederasty in homophile. Nevertheless, there are frequent cases of manifestation of Stenolania among homosexual couples.
In general, we can conclude that in general fetishes do not belong to either a homophile or a heterophilic nature.
But here Stanolania brings up a very strange surprise, because of which, probably, many psychologists, sexologists and ordinary people consider this phenomenon to be hidden homosexuality. This surprise lies in the fact that during the Walling, the partners partially change their roles. The roles change occurs in consciousness and fantasies, but at the same time the partners are fully aware of what gender they belong to and feel this, and it is this understanding that only spurs them on, strengthens them. sexual attraction to each other (or attraction only unilaterally).
For a man, it is desirable that a woman have very developed muscles and be physically strong, even, as a rule, stronger than the man himself. For his part, a man (usually the majority, although there are exceptions) feels a kind of helplessness and weakness in front of a woman partner and deliberately becomes passive. He likes to succumb to her, surrender to her will, or, on the contrary, compete with her, but only with the goal of checking and making sure (although this is rather self-hypnosis) that she is stronger than him. He begins to act like a woman during games before intercourse. However, he is fully aware that he is a man.
Most often, a woman has a dominant position in such a relationship, she is a DOMINATOR. Her will is stronger than that of a man and she suppresses his will with her own. Later, we will look at the close relationship with the fetish of female domination here and see that there is a significant difference between the two, despite all the similarities. Some physically strong women like it - to subjugate a man, although there are many exceptions, however, not related to Wallania. Such women specifically build muscle and engage in strength sports and seem to revel in demonstrating their strength and superiority over men in order to increase their sexuality. Apparently here is exactly the difference in the approach to this fetish, a woman demonstrates her strength and muscles while getting excited and a man contemplates the muscles of a woman also experiences arousal. All of the above, we can talk about the ACTIVE and PASSIVE side of this fetish. That is, as in normal sexual practice, with Stenolania, partners are divided into active and passive, with the only difference that the active and dominant partner is a woman, and the passive is a man. Although under normal circumstances we have all met men who love to show off their muscles. So this phenomenon is widespread in the normal sexual life of people. However, Emancipation greatly captured the minds of women in the twentieth century and contributed much to the development of Wallania. The emergence of sports such as bodybuilding clearly shows the active participation in female competitions. A woman demonstrates her greatly increased muscles, exposing them to a man, BUT at the same time a woman does not feel like a man (if she is subject to Stanalonia), she even likes to be a woman at this moment, but behaves like a "dominant male". There is a hypertrophy of the female sexual libido. Sexual energy is amplified many times over and overlaps all conventions and foundations associated with femininity.
This is what a PARTIAL role reversal means - only behavior changes, not essence. The woman remains the woman, and the man remains the man. It is important - who has more power, on whose side EXCELLENCE. This is a kind of competition, where the answer is obvious, but not natural. As a result, a conflict arises in the subconscious, which somehow turns (apparently, one can speak of reverse sublimation) into a strong sexual arousal.
For a man an ATTRIBUTE of a fetish, an attribute of STRENGTH is overdeveloped FEMALE MUSCLES, tense, rolling, elastic, covered with swollen veins and often, preferably, much more than his own. Apparently such a female body is a Falic symbol for a man. The entire female body is like a huge, erect penis, bloodshot and very elastic - the highest point of arousal. Since, physiologically, a man can experience sexual pleasure with the help of only the penis, which, in fact, is the main organ of sensation in a man's sexual life, then subconsciously, looking at a muscular female body, he associates a woman as a part of his penis that is overgrown and prevailing over it ... At the same time, he clearly understands that there is a woman in front of him, he likes the presence of primary sexual characteristics - breasts, vagina as well as the proportions of the pelvis, waist, shoulders, likes the smell of her body, the absence of vegetation on her face and limbs, femininity and softness of her movements. Here it must also be added that with Stenolania, muscle GROWTH is of great importance for a man. It is the very fact of growth, its current process (in dynamics), and not the end result. Bloated biceps and calves, rolling and swelling under the skin of veins and tendons. Among men, the cult of biceps is widespread - this is one of the most expressive muscles in the human body, by its size and shape you can clearly judge the strength of your partner, they really like to watch how the biceps grows, how it hardens, how the veins swell on it, touch it, check for strength.
The end result of muscle growth is interesting in terms of comparison with what it was before, and how much the muscles have grown now, compare them with your muscles. And this, apparently, is another of the projections of the penis - the penis in the process of arousal, the penis with its familiar sensations of lifting, in the dynamics of its lifting and filling with blood, increasing its elasticity, pulsing. Visual observation of the penis familiar from adolescence. In the sexual life of men, vision plays a primary role, it is evaluative, they are selective. All this clearly shows a man how much a woman has surpassed him in strength development and how excited she is. And this representation is directly proportional and similar to the sexual arousal of a man.
Fetish complex.
I think Wallania includes many similar, but at the same time different fetishes that accompany her as fellow travelers. Different people who are prone to Wallania have fetishes that complement or enhance it.
Foot fetish is an addiction to female feet. In particular, to the feet. By their structure, the feet are the most mobile parts of the legs and have a complex structure (fingers, articular joints, heels) and are covered with a network of veins located close to the surface of the skin. It is generally accepted that the leg is a phallic symbol, which is probably why it so often attracts men. Women's legs are slender, long, as a rule, in the thighs and calves, they are more developed because in their physiology, women have a more developed pelvic region, because there are organs for reproduction and bearing offspring. The thighs are massive and have a well-developed circulatory system. Of course, men with a fetish of strength focus their attention precisely on this superiority in the development of legs in women. In fact, this superiority is imaginary, seeming, and this is what it is about - in terms of its proportions, the female body usually has parameters of the following order: wide hips, developed pelvis, narrow waist (as a rule), again a wide chest (relative to the waist) due to breasts and protruding collarbones and shoulders. Since a man watching a woman at this moment cannot have any opportunity to correlate his proportions with the proportions of the observed woman, unless, of course, there is another man next to the woman. In nature, the female body is much lower and smaller than the male body. Therefore, during observation, it seems to men that women's legs and shoulders look much more massive and more prominent than a man's compared to the waist, which only emphasizes the size of the legs and shoulders due to its thinness. Well, if a woman is engaged in bodybuilding at the same time, then the sensation is greatly enhanced because this sport really greatly increases the muscles of the legs and shoulders.
However, with Stenolania, it is very common for men to like the calf area; it is on them that the emphasis goes, and not on the feet. In some ways, the calves resemble biceps - they rise more clearly and stand out during contraction, thereby clearly showing the process of "growth". Moreover, the legs, in comparison with the hands, are much larger than them, even larger and stronger than male hands. Again I came to the fact of physical superiority. Probably it is the fact of superiority that is the stimulus for excitement.
Macrophilia is a fetish of gigantism, tall. Analyzing short stories from various Internet sites dedicated to Tall women and women with developed muscles, you can very often find the fact of superiority in growth of partners or heroes of short stories. That is, girls in them are taller than a guy. I think this fetish so clearly shows the presence of the fact of GROWTH and EXCELLENCE that explanations are unnecessary here. I think that this emphasis, on superiority in height, is first experienced by men during adolescence, during puberty. At about 11-13 years old, especially after a summer vacation, adolescents meet at school, at this moment the boys pay attention to the fact that the girls are very elongated and have become a little taller than them, and in some cases the girls even grow a whole head over the boys. Moreover, there are much more cases of ACCELERATION among girls than among boys. Because, as a rule, girls develop faster than boys, this is a well-known fact. Such girls during puberty often suffer from excessive attention from boys. Boys like this very much, subconsciously, but they continue to consider girls an opposite, hostile "camp" for puberty is just beginning. However, the competitive spirit keeps the boys from retreating despite the new dominance of girls. Then they start to bully, tease them, in a word they behave like normal teenagers except for boys with Stanalonia. I will try to explain this fact later when I turn to consideration of the emergence of the power fetish effect itself.
Lift & Carry is a fetish in which one partner (usually a DOMINATOR) lifts another partner and carries it on his arms or shoulders. Here is a case more related to Cratolania. That is, it attracts the fact of demonstration of strength and not of muscle mass or a distinct relief. Again, analyzing the Internet resources dedicated to L&C, one can make sure that the overwhelming majority are heterosexual couples in which a woman plays a dominant role.
I must say that when reading the L&C novels, in which you can find a lot of materials for thought, since these are a priori voiced desires of the authors, you can see some similarities in the preferences of men who read these works and visit the sites.
When a woman lifts a man, he experiences sensations very similar to those he experienced in childhood, when his parents (mother) carried their son in their arms. The man creates an illusion that he suddenly became small and weak. These sensations intensify if the dominator (woman) is the same age (the same age), and it will be better if the woman is much younger in age. Apparently there is an inversion of consciousness associated with the fact of GROWTH. Due to the fact that a girl, being younger, lifts a man in her arms and, being touched and laughing, easily transfers him, a feeling of transformation of a little girl into a kind of strong and powerful creature EXCEEDING him (man) in everything is created, because she can even tear him off the ground and raise in your arms, as my mother once did. At this moment, great excitement sets in.
Later I will try to take a deeper look at this phenomenon and get to the reasons for its occurrence. Apparently, everything suggests that the reasons were laid in deep childhood, which got buried in adolescence, but did not develop into sexual norms.
