I love men’s armpits. I love the look, touch, taste and smell of them. You know when he’s undressing and he pulls his top over his head, when he’s briefly blinded by fabric? Sometimes, I want to freeze that moment. I want to stay with the whiff of his dark, musky scent and feast my eyes on him when he can’t look back. I love how his raised arms pull his torso tight, expand his chest and flatten his belly. I love the flash of underarm hair, the soft hollowing within those delicate bones and the paler skin that rarely sees the sun. And then I love nuzzling up for a noseful and getting that pheremonal hit. It’s intoxicating, like breathing in sex itself.
There’s a word for armpit lust: maschalophilous. See? This isn’t just another Kristina Lloyd gratuitous-pic upload. It’s highly educational!
The etymology of maschalophilous is rooted in the Greek – oh, bollocks to it. I’ll just keep uploading photos, while making occasional noises like ‘meep’ and ‘oohhh’, shall I?
Because I have quite a lot of photos and I think you need to see as many as possible to appreciate the wide variety of armpit poses a guy has. He can be strung up (poor Trent!), showing off (lots of those), lazing around (lots of those too) or casually stroking his head and wishing it were my hand that caressed him. (Oh, Becks, I’m sorry, I’m busy right now.)
White vests go well with armpits, as demonstrated by Chad White (left) and Carmo della Vecchia up at the top there.
No clothes at all looks very nice too. See, here’s proof!
What I love most about a good armpit pose, and the one above is a classic, is it’s such a delicious mix of arrogance and vulnerability, of easiness and strength.
His body is bold and open, his biceps are tense, and yet we’re seeing the tender underside of muscle, the patch of soft hair, the sweep down the sides of his torso, the hint of ribs beneath the skin. It’s a position in which he’s asking to be licked, sniffed, caressed or, um, blown. Um, or straddled.
Ahem. A recent study by the US Dept of Olfactory Obviousness discovered that women exposed to the concentrated compounds extracted from men’s sweaty armpits become horny. I’d have told ‘em that for a tenner.
Oh, look! That poor man just fell over on the bus!
Oh, look! That man is wearing see-through swimtrunks but no one will notice because they are dazzled by his armpits!
Oh, look! Man-love!
Oh, look! He is dreaming of having sex with me.
Oh, look! Brad’s pits.
I think I should stop there. If I carry on much longer, I’ll start doing scandalous things like linking to gay porn sites called armpits.com or showusyourpits.com or telling you that ‘bagpiping’ is the slang term for armpit sex. And then where would we be? Sacked, probably, if you follow those links at work.
So tell me. Do you share my maschalophiliac tendencies? Do you want him soapy-fresh or sweating from a hard day’s graft? Do you want him hairy or barely there? When he’s flat on his back, hands behind his head, what is it, exactly, that you want to do to him?

Hello Kristina:
I was looking at the statistics of the people who visited my website (http://www.pitstalker.com) and ended up on your blog entry. I loved it. I have never read an account from an armpit lover as well written as yours. Feel free to visit my website and look at the pictures. I hope you like the models and the poses. And since you are an armpit lover too, let me ask you something: are there any poses you don’t see on my website that you would like to see? I can ask the models to pose that way. And is it alright if I link to this article from my site? My visitors might enjoy reading it.
Ghaleon
I adore your site! It’s fantastic. Thanks so much for getting in touch. Link away, please.
This is gorgeous. (I have a thing for white vests – although I don’t think Americans call them vests, do they?)
Also gorgeous.
He’s cute.
Oh, and again!
He’s great too.
Your models are wonderful. And seriously, you’re taking requests? Hmm, let me see. I do love pics where he’s on his back, all relaxed, with his pits oh-so-casually exposed and he’s not even aware of it, or of a viewer or a camera, because he has half-dozed off or he is dreamily sunbathing or I am straddling him (um, not so relaxed then) and we are having amazing sex and …
Guh, sorry, got carried away there. I thought you asked for my personal fantasies.
This is hot. It looks like he’s all alone and is thinking about playing with his cock. So maybe it’s pics where I can imagine I’m spying on him. Yes, something for the voyeur, please! That would be fantastic – and it might stop me getting arrested.
Thanks again, and keep up the good work.
I caught wind of this website, and would like to thank you for your comments! Its me on my back and looking at my cock.
Thanks for stopping by, Alan! It’s a great pic. Model Mayhem is a rather nice site too. I may become a regular visitor!
“Brad’s pits.”
Hehe.
Tho, really, thank you for having a tab for nothing except pics of hot naked men. You see that so seldom, I clicked on it first.
Thanks Molly! And yeah, it’s rare and that ain’t fair!
I hope you’ll check out Erotica Cover Watch, a blog I co-host with Mathilde Madden where we campaign for equal representation on dirty books. We kick start each week with Man Candy Monday so lots more semi-nekkids over there!
Hello, Kristina! I’m a gay male with a voracious lifelong armpit fetish. As I’m acquainted mostly with male-authored erotica, it’s fascinating to discover how some women perceive and write about the erotic beauty of young men, especially the intoxicating appeal of their armpits. To answer your questions, I prefer the look and smell (no deodorant or antiperspirant please!) of a guy flat on his back, his sweaty, wide-open pits burgeoning with thick dark growth, ready for my fingers, nose, lips and tongue, while my raging you-know-what strives against his. Thanks!
Will

PS: Having studied classical Greek, I immediately recognized your “maschalophilos”, altho it isn’t even in Webster’s big dictionary. I suffer from maschalomania!
Kristina:
Hot subject, beautifully addressed! Did you receive my comments, sent yesterday? After writing, I clicked Submit, my note just disappeared, and I don’t see it among the above responses. I’m guessing you review before deciding whether to post.
Will, 4-10-09
Thanks, Will! I like what you like. Very yum!
So sorry your comment got snagged. I don’t review comments (though I do delete any idiots who get through). WordPress has a newish spam filter and it is shit! I have no idea why it didn’t like your comment. It clearly has poor taste. Hope you don’t mind me dusting you down. You have penis enlargement and online poker all over you.
Hello Kristina:
I changed the locations of the files on my website, so the links you posted no longer work. Some of the models who worked with me have posed more than once, so I made a different folder for each photo shoot. That way visitors would not see just the older photos, like they did before. It worked; now they see the pictures from all the photo shoots.
You can now see the photos you mentioned here, here, here, here, here, and here.
And speaking of which, one of the models you liked the most, AJ, has posed for me again. You can see the new pictures of him here.
Take care.
Ghaleon
Ghaleon, massive thanks for those links! Am so glad you took the time and they didn’t simply go dead. The latest AJ shoot is wonderful. So many great pics. He’s very cute! I love the pics showing the side of his body where his skin goes paler and softer. So sexy.
I’m guessing you’re a British subject, or of the Commonwealth. What do you mean I have “penis enlargement and online poker all over” me? I’ve never knowingly been involved with either!
Will
Hey Kristina, wow, thanks for this. Great article! You capture my feelings exactly! I’m a young-ish gay guy and have “suffered” from this attraction ever since I can remember. I say suffered because it can be kind of distracting. Like, if there is a guy shopping at the supermarket in a vest/tank top, i will spend the next 20 mins following him around, hoping that he wants something (or even better, to compare several brands) on the top shelf, lol . . . and in a resturant, if someone behind me is wearing a tank top/vest, then forget it, I’ll spend the whole meal totally distracted, trying my best not to turn around every 30 seconds. So, yeah, I’ve got it REAL bad. Thanks for putting my obsession into words, and making it sound a little more normal, lol . ..
Thanks, Kristina, for sharing Mike’s comments! As soon as I see an attractive guy I start wondering how much and what kind of hair he has in his pits, although hairless male pits, whether shaven or prepubescent, turn me on too. Here in New York City, my most frequent opportunities for pit-watching are on the subway in summer, when a vested or muscle-shirted guy grabs hold of one of the overhead rods and I position myself for the best view of one or both of his sweaty armpits, opening and twisting. Thrilling!
Will
ah, Will, that is where we differ . .. bald or shaved pits do NOTHING for me . .. zero, zilch . . gotta have the hair . .. and if it is a little bit curly, then even better
In fact, if I am watching porn and come across someone with shaved pits, I skip to the next scene. Seriously, I am a hairy pit addict, no joke.
Women with hairy pits, however, gross me out . .. funny, isn’t it?
Hello, Kristina and Mike…
My two latest replies to Mike don’t show here and I’m wondering if they reached you. The first was dated the 13th and the second the 16th.
Will “Maschalophilos”
Will, I didn’t get your comments. Grrr.
I still don’t filter so posted comments appear immediately – except when wordpress detects spam. I know you got snagged before but there’s nothing in my spam folder now except spam from the last few weeks. I really don’t know what happened there. I’m so sorry – how annoying.
I was enjoying the conversation you were both having – hairy pits get my vote! Will, if you want to re-post or re-try, please do. If it all goes horribly wrong or you want to email me a comment to post on your behalf, you can reach me on kristina @ kristinalloyd dot co dot uk
And Mike, thanks for dropping by and for your kinds words. Pits are popular – yay!
Let’s see if this attempt fares better than my last two: Yeah, I must agree with both of you that rough male armpits are superior to smooth, especially if the growth is thick, dark and curly, not too long or diffuse, and redolent with fresh sweat. I also crave the teasingly partial view of a guy’s pit-hair sticking from the sleeve-opening of his tee or muscle shirt.
Thanks again, Kristina, for hosting this forum for axillary discussion! It turns me on to read a straight woman’s take on the erotic beauty of young men’s armpits, an obsession which has consumed me since early adolescence when I carefully and eagerly monitored the first sprouts and thickening tufts in my own and other boys’ pits and around our cocks.

P.S.: I’ll “submit” this a second time, with apologies for any duplication.
Looks like the second Reply went through. I depressed the Submit button for a couple of seconds. I’ll share some more experiences and fantasies by and by. Keep up the good work!
cool, well, glad to have met you guys. For me, this is the perfect pit on the perfect guy – just . .. perfect!

What do you think?
Absolutely scrumptious! Could just bury my face in there, inhale and gobble him up. Envy his dark chest and abdominal fur, being mostly smooth myself. Voluptuous lips, too, and body generally. What strength and beauty! I like to think he’s someone you know and make love with, yes? Thanks!
