Believe it or not, there are many, many people in the world who like to lick, sniff, and even have sex with other people’s armpits. Salty! Maschalagnia is the technical term used to define this stinky kink, but it’s surprisingly super popular in the gay community. And…as we found out, maybe even in the straight world?
In a long-archived Reddit thread titled [Straight guys]: would you let a gay guy lick your [armpits]?, a gay man asks straight guys if they’d ever be into letting him sniff their smelly pits. Their responses may surprise you!
“I want to bury my face in a straight guy’s armpit,” the man confesses. “I want to worship a part of his body that he’s been trained to think of as dirty or undesirable. I want to inhale his scent and make him feel pleasure in a way he’s never thought about before.” Sounds kind of wholesome!
He continues: “The question is: how? So I want to poll the straight guys of Reddit (esp. 18-50ish, fit/muscled guys): would you ever let a gay guy lick (or at least sniff/touch) your pits? If so, under what circumstances?”
Now let’s take a look at people’s responses…
Some guys were totally into the idea of licking armpits:
“If I knew the guy…sure why not,.”
“Get a few drinks in me first after three beers I’ll do just about anything.”
“I’d be fine with it.”
Others were offended by the armpit licking question:
“I only do sexual things when all parties involved get something out of it…and I would not get anything out of that. Also, that’s clearly letting someone enjoy a kink and using me as a sexual object. I don’t want to be a sexual object!”
Several said they’d lick the pit, but only for money:
“Only if I get some money or an item I desire out of this activity.”
“I think I could deal with that for the right monetary compensation,…if I could make a quick buck doing basically nothing, I’d do it.”
When asked how much they would want, the fees varied significantly:
“$5 a minute.”
“$50 to smell, $100 to lick.”
“I’m thinking I’d need at least like $500-$1000…I’m a high class armpit call dude.”
But perhaps the most useful response came this person:
“I think you’ll have better luck with a gay/bi man, or a bi-friendly couple. Mostly because even the nicest straight guys aren’t going to get anything out the arrangement.”
While we read through the responses in this Reddit thread about the desire to lick armpits, one can’t help but appreciate the diverse spectrum of human interests. While some are open to the adventure, others prefer to keep their boundaries well-defined.
Still, in this online exchange, it’s a gentle reminder that kinkiness and curiosity transcends categories. Regardless of one’s sexual orientation, the pursuit of unique experiences, like licking armpits, continues to weave the colorful threads of human desires.
Exploring your quirks, whether it’s licking armpits or diving into offbeat fetishes, is all part of life’s thrilling journey – just like subscribing to the Queerty newsletter – where every day brings a fresh adventure!

I do lick my boyfriend’s armpit on occasion, especially when he is fresh out of the shower. I also lick his balls, dick, and nipples. But I don’t go on that OTHER territory because I don’t consider it hygienic. I am sure he would love me to do it, because he is a true bottom, but it is way beyond my powers.

You never disappoint with the sharing of your fetish for straight guys with us, GG.
It is probably the most consistent and noticeable thing about Queerty. Don’t ever change.

@Paco: I agree. Queerty has an unusual number of posts about straight guys. It is weird.

I will sniff and lick their arm pits, sweethearts. I love the smell and taste of men.
Marky
@Billy Budd: It’s an effete self-hating thing.

I agree with the above comments about Quertie’s and GG’s obsession with articles about straight men. The reddit author along with many other men in the gay community also seem to have the same preoccupation which is a little concerning.

Normally posts like this one make me grit my teeth, but this one is so pointless and dumb that I kind of love it?
Blackceo
This is just nasty. To each his own though.

Maybe during or after a shower but other than that then it’s a huge NO. Not even if he is the hottest straight of gay guy ever. An armpit is an armpit. It stinks regardless of how good looking a person is.

File under TMI, but my husband never has b.o. unless he’s working under a car all day. I don’t know why, but the smell of him turns me on. He always tries to jump right into the shower and I always try to bang him before he gets to. I’m a fan of dudes pits. It isn’t a fetish for me. Meaning I don’t have to do it every time or do it to get off; I just like the smell sometimes.

@Billy Budd: I only do that act you are referring to twice a year, on birthdays and Christmas with lots and lots of prep. Unfortunately for my husband he was born on 12/25 so he only gets it once.

My boyfriend and I lick each other quite a lot… I don’t quite get the fantasy over straight guys, they kinda turn me dead off.
