It’s not just the fan, not just the viewer, who sees the sexual appeal of the power of the muscular woman. It’s also the woman herself. She feels it. In every fibre of her strong, powerful, muscular body she feels the sexual power of her fully pumped muscle.
See her heat. Feel her heat.
Enjoy!
If you are looking for the big girls, and I mean the really big girls on Tumblr these days, there’s only really one place where you’ll find them – with regular updates and without self-reverential snide comments anyway. Pdgde, or, as the homepage is entitled, Passion FBB, has just a single word in its description: Bodies.
It’s a description you can’t fault. Bodies is most certainly what you get. There are old school bodies (fans of Laura Binetti, for instance, should definitely explore the blog). There are bodies in the gym, veins popping, muscles pumped and swollen to their limits. There’s glamour, candids, comparisons, contests, selfies, scans… And a lot of it is stuff I haven’t seen elsewhere. Original stuff, rare stuff.
Recently, the blog has also featured the author’s own edited clips. Ten or twenty seconds edited out of a longer clip, they are sort of extended gifs. Super gifs, if you like. Examples: Sheila Bleck – here – and an unknown pair of thighs (huge) – here.
And the title, Passion FBB, too, is thoroughly appropriate. You can sense (well, I can sense it anyway) the author’s passion for these incredible specimens in the sheer variety and scope of big, bold and beautiful female muscle on display. I can’t get enough of it. It’s a wondrous collection he’s putting together. And, it’s also relatively recent (beginning last August) and a work in progress that, like the women it features, gets bigger and better with every passing day. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
When was the last time female muscle fans were in the mainstream media?
As far as the UK is concerned, the last time I can recall was the rather infamous segment of Louis Theroux’s Weird Weekends when the eponymous presenter meets a few at the Jan Tana, as well as Maria Calo and her (then?) husband.
Since then, Brian Eno has said he likes a muscular woman (see FMS passim), but I really can’t remember another instance – and please to tell me if I’m wrong – where us fans of female bodybuilding have been given either airtime or column inches.
But a couple of weeks ago, FBB fans found themselves in the very mainstream UK magazine Closer as part of a story about the ever-beautiful Rene Campbell.
Strangers love my muscles and beg me to marry them! it reads on the front cover.
Inside, under the headline: Bodybuilding Mum: “Men think my muscles are sexy – strangers ask to marry me!”, we learn that Bigorexic Rene Campbell says she gets more attention from men as a bodybuilder than when she was a petite size eight.
There’s Rene, NUDE! And only her tastefully positioned legs and well-placed arm preventing that week’s Closer from having to be displayed on the topmost shelf.
Her muscles, the story continues, have made her an unlikely sex symbol with thousands of men viewing her pictures online everyday. Well, OK. I, and I dare say you, dear reader, may have been guilty of a bit of that. But there’s more…
Rene, 37, has had more than 10 marriage proposals from strangers and last Valentine’s Day received several bouquets of flowers from secret admirers. “Men tell me I’m sexy and I’ve had marriage proposals from guys all over the world.”
Really?
I’ve been writing this blog a while now, and as a result I’ve had the pleasure of contact with a number of fellow female muscle fans from both the UK and elsewhere. Now, I wouldn’t say that all of them are exactly what you’d call “normal” (who among us is?) but they are most certainly not in the business of asking Rene Campbell – or any of their favourite female bodybuilders for that matter – to marry them.
So, who the hell are these guys, these poor souls who, without any hint of irony, write forum posts like ‘If only Aleesha Young were single…’? Who are they and why do they get all the attention? Why isn’t Closer writing about professional men in their late 30s, not at all the kind of timid, skinny live-with-mother types some would paint all female muscle fans as. They’re moderately successful, they’re property-owning, educated, eloquent guys who just happen to have a thing for muscular women…
Well, I have a confession to make.
I had the opportunity to talk to a journalist from Closer and I didn’t take it.
Now, unlike the marry-me-Rene brigade, I am not deluded – well, not as deluded at least. I’m not saying it would have changed anything about the Rene story, nor that Closer would have been interested in what I have to say and published ‘my’ story instead or as well as Rene’s. If I’d made out I was a proposal maker or bouquet sender then maybe – maybe – I’d have had a little quote in there somewhere.
In fact, I procrastinated for some time after I was contacted (not by the magazine, note, but by an intermediary), and let the moment pass. Now I somewhat regret that the opportunity to represent the silent majority of female muscle fans, to paint an alternative picture of us, has gone, but, though tempted, being the spokesperson for the entire female muscle lovin’ brethren is not something I would want to be.
But anyway, about Rene.
Seems she’s on a bit of a publicity mission. Not only has she got her name (and naked body, remember) in mainstream print, but she also made an appearance, in late November, on The X-Factor (about as mainstream and prime time a TV show as you are ever going to get) as part of a backing act for one of the performances.
And Rene has starred in a music video as well. I mean, really starred.
The Closer story then (new pictures of Rene and bonus clip of her working out all pumped up aside), not really worth the read. The X-Factor appearance (aside from Rene’s own Facebook pictures of the day), not really worth bothering with.
But the music video, which was directed by Jack Newman for Bullion Productions, is definitely worth four minutes and twenty-four seconds of your time.
Oh, what a surprise – I recommended by far the least mainstream thing!
This is 6ft1swell, for FMS, staying well out of the limelight…
SHE’S A LADY

Even the woman she has beaten into second place more times than any other!
DAT BACK DOE!
Pumping up back stage animal style… is how Iris describes the image below.
OK, OK, of course there are some effects, but really, look at that. Look closely, look long. It’s not just the insane size, the incredible detail, the height of those damn traps… It’s everything you could want in a female bodybuilder’s back. Best for last.
In contest shots it’s both the size and the detail that gets me, but some of my favourite images of Iris’ back are “from behind” candids, those where she isn’t even really flexing it at all. Her back seems to be spreading right across the Earth.
Her best, and also her favourite bodypart. SWWWOOOOON! Dat BACK doe!
KYLE BY NUMBERS
Iris’ last contest was the 2014 Ms Olympia on 19.9.14.
Her tenth win came with a winner’s cheque for $22,000.
Her competitor number for the contest was 13.

KYLED HARD FACT OF THE DAY
In 2008, Iris appeared on the American version of the show Wipeout. She broke “several ribs” in the process, and was repeatedly referred to as “he” by one of the show’s hosts. When the popularity of the episode led the producers to invite Iris to appear again, she declined. Only partly because of the possibility of another injury!
The episode is available on YouTube, but UK viewers (like me) can’t watch it!
SHE’S A LADY
I’m pretty certain I’ve posted this gem of a pic before on FMS at some point in the past, because I LOVE Iris in this pic. A gorgeous muscular woman in a gorgeous dress.
IRIS SEZ…
When I train for contest I vision being in a cage restricted to
THREE TOOLS: the gym, my proper nutrients and adequate rest.
KYLE BY NUMBERS
In her career as a pro, Iris competed in thirty shows. But just two were neither the Ms International nor the Ms Olympia. In 1999, she finished 2nd at the World Pro Championships (Laura Binetti was the champ), and in 2002 Yaxeni Oriquen beat Iris to the heavyweight title at the Show of Strength Pro Championships.
DEM DELTS DOE!
Look at her delts! Unbelievable!
Kim Chizevsky on commentary, 2002 Ms Olympia Finals
I’ve watched a few contest clips of Iris over the past week or so, and it’s noticeable how often the first thing the commentators tend to go focus on is Iris’ incredible shoulders.
Whether flexed or relaxed (as they are in the pic of Iris with Vera Mikulcova, above) and no matter what shape she is in, the bulk and curves of her delts never fail to be less than breathtaking, so it’s no surprise they are the first thing commentators mention.
And it wouldn’t be any surprise if looking at Iris’ pumped up delts in the selfies below made you get a right big swoon on, because that’s what they do to me – especially the pic on the right where her mighty muscle is bulging right out of her T. WOW!

FBB EBONY vs IRIS KYLE – 2014
Other than the fact that Iris Kyle is indeed in the clip, the title is completely misleading. She isn’t wrestling any “FBB Ebony” here. Her opponent (which is also a misleading term, because this is hardly a contest) is male and very very white. Furthermore, there is no way this is from 2014 (although it was uploaded this year!).
However, it’s inaccurate title doesn’t mean it isn’t worth watching!
I had no idea Iris did this sort of thing, but she was clearly enjoying herself…
More IK tomorrow, OK?
KYLED HARD FACT OF THE DAY
Iris says that Thai food and steamed rice is her favourite meal.
And as a “cheat treat”? Swiss chocolate (she is very clear about it being Swiss), brownies (probably made with Swiss chocolate), and yoghurt.
Man next to Iris: (thinks) Unless her food arrives soon she’s going to eat ME!
DEM PEAKS DOE!
While Iris’ lower body and back, quite rightly, receive so much attention, the magnificent curves of her biceps are truly two of the wonders of the female muscle world. Mathematicians are, I believe, currently studying said parabola in the hope that it will reveal something about the way the universe curves at its extremes.

Iris has five siblings. Four brothers and one sister.
Iris was 23 years old when she won her pro card at the 1998 NPC USAs, and 29 when she won her first pro title at the 2004 Ms International.
IRIS SEZ…
To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear. All action is of the mind, and the mirror of the mind is the face, its index the eyes. Remember there is but one temple in the universe and that is the body.
It is better to be hated for what you are, than loved for what you are NOT.
Using expressions like ‘I should have’ is just a way of punishing yourself after the fact. Stop it or you will ruin the possibles. Live in the present and move forward. Don’t drag the past along for an unnecessary ride.
The Tao of Iris will soon be available in all good bookshops.

Genius by Female Fitness & Bodybuilding, whose no nonsense tagline tells us These women are bigger and stronger than you. You are a pathetic excuse for a man!
Yikes!
You know the feeling when you come across a female bodybuilder you’ve not been aware of before and she just takes your breath away. Or when you find a Tumblr blog, or a forum you didn’t know about, and they’re like just little goldmines.
And you think, why have I never heard of her, never heard of this, before?
Well, when I came across Her Muscular Grace on Tumblr, thanks to a repost on Shirtrippers of a story from way back in October 2012. Why have I never seen this before? I thought to myself. This is one of the most erotic stories I have ever read!
The blog is, in the words of the author, An artistic erotic experiment on the awe-inspiring subject of muscular females, and the essence of their relationship with the men who worship them, through short stories inspired by photos of said females.
It began with a bang in September 2012 with 16 pieces of fiction, got slightly less intense the following month with just three, and then there was nothing until a single post in January 2013, and that was it. Sadly, there hasn’t been anything since.
If you are or know of this author’s whereabouts now, I’d really love to get in touch.
By far my favourite piece is Warrior Queen, which I have taken the enormous liberty of reproducing here and adding images to the original photo of Zoa Linsey in full flow, which inspired the original piece, I believe. I have, though, kept the original (poetry like?) punctuation and spacing as far as possible.
Like all the best erotic female muscle fiction, it tells the story from a woman’s point of view (though not necessarily a muscular woman’s). Quite honestly, I find it so convincing that I wonder whether it is indeed a piece of fiction at all…
WARRIOR QUEEN
She groans and goes through one more rep. Teeth clenched. Veins popping.
I don’t care that I’ve paused in the middle of the gym.
I am a girl, a neophyte to the gym, watching in awe this display of muscle dominance. I am not alone.
Everyone in the gym has stopped in their tracks and are looking at Her.
Witnessing.
She’s in a trance, intoxicated with her fury.
“I don’t believe it, she’s pushing the whole stack” a guy next to me whispers in religious awe to no one in particular. I feel dizzy and grasp his arm, my heavy breasts brushing him.
He might think I’m coming on to him some part of me thinks.
I’m not and anyway he doesn’t.
Steadying myself I release him.
He’s also hypnotized by the sight of Her. Under the same spell. His mouth open.
She yells, a primal thing, and Her veins become angry snakes under Her skin. Blood pumping, Her face turns red.
She completes the movement. She must be done. Must Be.
But No.
One more rep.
I’m wet.
She roars, a barbaric scream, a howl and moves the metal. Her muscles expanding, growing as I watch, She defeats the steel.
Surely this is it.
“ONE. MORE!” She Demands and my knees grow weak.
I am on fire below, my tension following Hers, vibrating at the same frequency as Her titanic movements, building to release in tune to Her feat.
She will do this I realize. I do not know to what I’m referring to.
Unmistakable sounds of pleasure escape my mouth now. I moan. My breath becomes heavy.
I do not care, nor is there anything for it.
She is the Steel, She has locked on the Steel and She is One with it, bending it to Her will.
Her face contorted in rage, in pain.
Or is feverish ecstasy?
Rapture.
Orgasmic.
Hers are the sounds of Orgasm I realize. Fulfillment. Not pain but conquest.
As her muscles expand in one final thrust, she releases a scream, in triumph and holds it.
Holds it.
Holds it.
No one breathes. The tension is feverish.
I bite my lip. I taste blood on the tip of my tongue.
She controls the steel.
Only Now releasing the weights.
As they slam violently into place, I can feel, we can all feel, the tremor, a small quake.
I come.
Violently. Completely.
I close my eyes and my moan of surrender is swept in the sound of metal on metal.
Eventually,
Time starts again. Sounds of people and metal moving are heard.
I manage to place my ragged breath under a semblance of control.
I dare to raise my eyes.
She sits there still. A Warrior Queen on Her throne.
Looking straight at me.
Looking into me.
My eyes grow wide.
Her Muscular Grace, October 2012
Even if you happen to be the kind of guy (or girl) who is open about their attraction to muscular females, you probably leave this particular aspect of it unsaid (I imagine). Not an easy thing for the non female muscle head to, er, get their head round this one, if possible at all. In fact, do we even truly understand our own endless fascination for the mighty rivers of blood that traverse the muscles of our goddesses?
Perhaps they are just another example of the “otherness” of the female bodybuilder. Sure, there are some naturally vascular women out there (just as some FBBs are naturally more vascular than others), but being covered from traps to calves in pulsating cord-like veins only seems to occur in our beloved muscle babes.
Perhaps they serve as our guidelines for worship. Are them veins showing us exactly where to lick/kiss/touch for her pleasure? Unfortunately, I have never had the chance to put this theory to the test so I’ll have to take someone else’s word for it, but I have been told that if you tap the inner base of a flexed female bicep it activates a neural pathway that runs all the way to the vaginal wall, so that does make me think there might be something to it. Anyway, if true, it’s yet another good point to make when explaining your sthenolagnia to friends, family or therapist (“You don’t even have to find their erogenous zones! They’re all marked!!!”). Nice idea, isn’t it?
And that would mean that for some, if not most, if not ALL, female bodybuilders, well, that erogenous zone pretty much covers their whole body. Yep.
Returning to something akin to reality [surely not! – ed.], perhaps we should just file these under “Freaky and I Love It!” and not worry ourselves too much with the whys and wherefors. Let’s just sit back, relax and get our vascular freak on.
And there are few freakier and (therefore) few sexier sights in the female muscle lovin’ world than pulsating rivers of blood adorning magnificently muscled legs. Now I’m not normally a “quad” type of guy, but I have to confess that if you delve into the freakier corners of the FMS collection, you’ll find plenty of this sort of thing.
These women embrace their “otherness”, and it’s not just about the veins that adorn their muscles, it’s the muscles themselves. They celebrate their freakiness, delight in being different. They revel in their rivers of blood and make no apologies for doing so. Maybe the confidence that takes is the key to the attraction of it after all. Or maybe it’s just that I’m wired to find, say, the vascular mosaic of Margie Martin‘s quads (below) every bit as unique and beautiful as a work of art – and a lot more erotic!
And finally today, a little nostalgia: the “classic” vascularity of Robin Parker.
