Let’s take a deep sniff into the world of the male armpit fetish
Patrick O’Rourke, who has no shame describing his ultimate turn-on about a man.Patrick lives in Ireland and happened to connect with me on 23 and me.
He’s a fourth cousin who was desperately searching to learn more about his gay ancestry and connect with others in the community.
I happen to know from his Instagram that he’s obsessed with guys’ armpits, so I pressed him for more, hoping to understand why this particular feature of the body is so appealing to some queer men.“For me, armpits encapsulate masculinity,” he says. “The underarm hair and musky smell is the ultimate depiction of a ‘man’, and if you’re attracted to men, what’s a better turn-on than that?”He goes on to explain that when watching adult films, many of the scenarios involve “strenuous activity” that ultimately might get the sweat glands in the underarms activated, so he knows this must be a common fetish for guys.“From the vigorous personal trainer to the oh-so-helpful handyman, to even the steamy fireman… there’s always something situational going on that’s getting the sweat flowing.
That’s intentional,” he says. “It’s about a gay man’s yearning for ultimate masculinity. Sweat and hair encapsulate this,” he sums up.Let’s face it, this fascination is not bound to Ireland alone.
