Muscle and Beauty

It's one of the wonders of life that two people's perception of the same thing can be totally different. In fact, certain things seem to cause almost polar reactions. Marmite, for example. You can love or hate it, but hardly anyone says they don't mind it.

Muscular women get similarly opposing reactions. I, for one, find them the most attractive women of all. I spend a significant amount of time eulogising them right here in this blog. But if you take even just a cursory glance at some internet polls on female muscle, you will find that there are a lot of people who are disgusted by them.

Now, I'm not saying these people are wrong, variety is the spice of life as they say. But take a look at the pictures below and the comments I've taken from the polls I've found. Are beauty and muscle really as mutually exclusive in women as some people think?

'They look like men. They look downright awful.'


OK, maybe some of the biggest steroid-abusing bodybuilders do sacrifice their femininity for muscle. But Szilvia Czine, Aleisha Hart, Jennifer Rish and Heidrun Sigurdardottir are clearly all woman.


And with her lovely, dark eyes and beautiful smile, would you really say that Yenny Polanco's bicep makes her look like a man?

This comment is similarly typical: 'Feminitiy [sic] and female bodybuilders have nothing in common whatsoever.'

So this person can't spell. Or run a spell check. But, hey, f-e-m-i-n-i-n-i-t-y is a tough word, and anyone can make a typo. Let's not be overly critical of their English. But looking at the Middle Eastern beauty of Mercedes Khani and the natural beauty of Erica Cordie, I for one disagree with their conclusion.

'It's not like any male on earth finds them attractive.
And they make even fat woman shudder in disgust.'

Having seen Reagan Brenner, the lady on the left is so disgusted she has to get some food down her quick. Imagine how much more she would have to eat if she saw the Asian beauty of Lyen Wong or Rebekah Kresila!


And then there is this old chesnut: 'I think dating women bodybuilders is one step away from being queer.'
Now, I have to admit, I did not know there were steps to being queer. Do they go up or down? And it does beg the question of being attracted to what kind of bodyshape on a woman is two steps away from being queer?

Well, if fancying Valeria Ammirato or Heather Dees makes me 'one step away from being queer', then I am very proud to be on that step. And what's more, I think that's going to be a very crowded step. Unless I'm the only one who finds Sheila Beavers attractive!


Enjoy!

Innamorato with Ammirato

Now I don't usually go for bikini competitors, and I'm far too old to be coming on all schoolboy gushy, but I cannot sleep, I feel miserable, I have no appetite, I'm writing poems for Christ's sake!

I think I'm in love with Valeria Ammirato.



Valeria is a bikini competitor from Germany. I don't know how old she is, what her favourite music is, whether she's turned on by guys who can cook, or if she loves animals. But I do know she is hotter than a forest fire that has just reached its peak.





I find her bottom particularly alluring.



Like a pair of bongos just begging to be played.




Valeria on stage outhotting the (admittedly pretty hot) opposition.



Sizzling hot, fit, sexy beauty.




Thirty (yes, 30!) minutes (you lucky people) of Valeria in the gym. She works out, poses, speaks German a lot, and throughout it all looks as sexy as sexy can be.



I hope you enjoy Valeria as much as I am enjoying her right now!

Gymnastic Fantastic

Continuing our series of regular posts celebrating the strength
and flexibility of fit, muscular women. Imagine the possibilities!



Three different ways to get those legs in the air...


A woman who can do the splits is, in my experience, to be treasured!


Bendy Che Swagger


I've been looking at this picture closely and am finding it seriously appealing. But at first, I just couldn't believe it was real. I mean, how exactly is that position achieved? What amazing balance and strength she must have! And meanwhile looking very serene and stunningly beautiful. That combination is hot.
Consequently, I am researching local yoga classes. Even if I am extremely unlikely to find a babe like this around my neck of the woods, if I can learn to pull a move like this, I might pull more often!


Strength and balance in action


Flexing almost every muscle at once. Wow!


Like I said before, imagine the possibilities...


Enjoy!

Bare Backs

I'm almost ashamed to say this, but when I see photos like these, it's impossible not to fantasise that I am the photographer. The woman in the photo wants to check out the view from the rear. Hard to do without a picture of it. And she's asked me to snap away.


'Ready when you are,' she says as she hits a back double biceps pose.


'I'll get a clearer picture if you pump up a bit first,' I suggest.


I really don't know what I'm going to say if she asks whether I like the tattoo...


... but I do know that when I've finished taking this shot, I'm going to offer to give her gorgeous back a deep, deep massage.


'When I'm done with your back would you like a few shots of your glutes too?'


Notice the lady on the left's back four-pack! How sexy is that?


Oh, to be the man in the mirror!


I reach out and squeeze her rock-hard arms, then I run my hands up around her lats, over her traps and back onto her shoulders as I kiss her neck. She purrs with delight...

You probably don't want to know how the rest of it goes, so I'll stop there. As always, enjoy!
