From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sthenolagnia is a fetish (related to female muscle growth) defined as 'sexual arousal from demonstration of strength or muscles'. The term was coined by the German psychologist Magnus Hirschfeld in the late 1800s. This fetish is found among both males and females, but there are a significant number of websites (e.g. www.fem-power.com) that cater to the interests of men who are aroused by strong, (especially muscular) women, who dominate them with their muscles, wrestle them, or lift and carry them. These men are likely sexually aroused by the confidence, power and strength of the women who subject them to these activities.

Some activities that might arouse these men include various types of lifts and carries that illustrate different aspects of female strength, muscle worship, wrestling muscular girls, fantasies of rape by muscular women, being used as human dumbells for women, etc.

A related fetish is cratolagnia, which is sexual arousal from display of strength.
