An Interview With... Conquistador - A Fetish For Strong Women

[Guest lydiahardwood]

We all know him, right? The charming and long time member of Lyla @conquistador has kindly agreed to talk to us about a shared passion; muscular and strong women! Why are they so damn attractive, what muscle groups he finds most impressive and his experience of seeing Canadian Companions with that aesthetic... I hope you enjoy this week's interview as much as I did. ❤️💪

 

Q: Hey @conquistador! Gosh I struggle to spell that every time, haha. Thank you for agreeing to do this with me. So, tell me about yourself.
A: You and me both! I’m lucky I can even get into the website, haha…Thank you for taking the time to interview me, I was surprised and thrilled at the same time to be included with such esteemed men and women.  I’ve been a member now since 2008, feels so long ago and time has flown past, let the good times roll.  I started with independent massage, dancers and now companions in that time span.  I started very new and green to having expanded to what I am today, more seasoned but always learning. Covid has pretty much stopped me at the moment but I hope in the near future when this all disappears or at least more controlled, I can get back to having some fun soon than later.  I will say I have got to chat with some great people on here and have shared similar experiences with them, Lyla is a great resource.

 
Q: Fingers crossed it won't be too long til you can get back into the swing of things! 😉 So, what do you look for in a Companion?
A: I have a wide range of things for what I look for in a companion. I value intelligence, humour, classiness and beauty. I like to read the provider’s website or ads that she posts and see if we would be a good fit. I believe like most gents on here in finding the right match for us, either for a once in a lifetime experience or something more frequent.

However, I do have another unknown side to me, someone who enthusiastically enjoys the company of a bodybuilder/muscular/athletic woman. Now this is not a prerequisite, but it is something that I look for if the opportunity knocks and/or I seek out to have the company of such a woman. The services they provide may be different from provider to provider, and I do search for certain things in a particular session.   

Q: A man after my own heart! I'm into bodybuilding and looove a muscular woman or man. Can you tell me a bit more about that attraction - is it the aesthetic you’re mainly into? Or is there something about a woman being physically strong that you find attractive?
A: Yes, I was pleasantly surprised when you told me! For me it’s the whole package, I do like the aesthetic of it, and well it’s pretty much an aesthetics sport and you are judge on how you look, symmetry and muscularity. Now if you were into powerlifting or crossfit then it’s something completely different, it would be based on weight or points. It’s the looking strong that gets me turned on, but also the strength of the woman. So, I just enjoy muscular/strong women, I like both the off-season and the competition look.  I may prefer the off-season look more because of their fullness and curves. I do enjoy both and respect both as they are both challenging to a person’s body, from all the stress on the body. I know it takes a lot of dedication to look like this, so I can appreciate the work that someone must put in to accomplish this, I also find that very attractive. 

 Q: I quite like the off-season look too! When did you first realise you were attracted to this type of aesthetic?
A: Good question, this has been ongoing since my early teens.  It started from watching movies like A View to a Kill with Grace Jones to finally cementing my attraction with Double Impact staring Jean-Claude Van Damme with Corey Everson (6 X Ms. Olympia champion).  Seeing these women in these male-dominant roles as bodyguards by being strong and sexy at the same time, really spoke to me. Then the attraction kind of just grew from there to trying to buying magazines in the store, which was always embarrassing for me, to now the endless world of the internet.  

Now, why exactly, I really don’t know or understand. We each have our own thing and wired a certain way, and this is mine.  I really love the look and the strength of a powerful woman.

They do have a couple terms to describe us guys: sthenolagnia and cratolagnia; I kind of fall somewhere in between them, as I like both and can’t say one over the other. But this is not something I would change about myself, it’s what I like.

Q: Is there a particular body part that does it for you e.g. big glutes/shoulders?
A: I think the first thing I’ve looked for has been thighs or the first thing that gets my attention.  I really like thick strong quads, hands down…so a leg man lol.  I will say the leggings that women wear do not help me lol, my eyes seem to roam there.  I’m sure I’m not alone here. 
But once I noticed the legs then I tend to look up to the upper body and see the shoulders and arms, whichever stands out to me.

 

Q: Would you describe this as a fetish or kink? (A fetish being something you need to get off, a kink being something you just enjoy)
A: I guess I would say it’s a kink for me or borderline fetish.  I don’t think I need to get off to it per se, but I do really enjoy it.  There are times that if I watch a video of someone working out then I will get turned on, then I will start watching others and sometimes spiral out of control, where it’s all I think about and need a release. Then there are times I know I’m just horny and will just find something to watch, maybe a particular bodybuilder and go from there.

The good thing about my kink is I don’t even need porn to watch, just go to YouTube and I’m all set lol.  But I do like a combination of porn and/or Youtube or other sources.  Really all depends on my mood and who I would like to see.  

Q: Haha, nice! Are there any special requests or fantasies you have?
A: I have a few, like anything to do with working out, wrestling/lift & carry and some flexing.  A lot of the time it’s just being dominant/overpowering me…I’m not looking to get hurt or for her to get hurt, just the feeling of being overpowered by a strong woman.  I do enjoy getting squeezed my strong thighs, this is one of my particular favourites.

Q: What Providers have you seen/want to see that fit this preference?
A: It’s a very niche market for this, I remember seeing @Katherine of Halifax and requested her to wear a gym outfit, and she was a fantastic time (this was my early beginnings in this industry).  For sure one of the reasons, I wanted to see her was because of her bodybuilding past that she had mentioned on here or in her ads.  It’s been awhile, but I might have request to have her squeeze me. Another provider from here did kind of an erotic boxing match which was super fun, better than I expected. She was absolutely amazing in general, easy to book and communicate with.  Another gent brought to my attention to a dancer who was a physique competitor, I was able to meet with her and have a few dances with her, she was an amazing time and that would sum up my experiences on Lyla.

Normally, I have to look outside this site (sorry!) to find what I’m Iooking for, as it is so specific. I generally have to travel to Toronto or Montreal to have session with ladies. One example, I’ve travelled to Toronto and Montreal to see a specific lady one time, definitely worth the drive, and she gave me more than I really was looking for and then some.  I remember one session with her, I ask for a Beatdown (again being green) and I basically got one.  I had a sore neck for a week and was awe struck by the power, but this was after the session and not during…she delivered what I asked for lol.   Now, I haven’t asked for that again but it’s all about the experience.

There are some new providers I would like to see and hopefully this summer, either if they are traveling or I have to travel to see them.  Some providers come up from the States, so I have no other choice but to go to the bigger cities to meet with them (pre-covid). Ideally, I would love to have a regular here who provides these services, would be a dream come true.

Q: Have you ever been to a bodybuilding show? 
A: I’ve been to one show so far in Ottawa and that was a great experience to see it in person and support the athletes on stage as well as the industry. I also had hoped to attend the Ms. Olympia in 2020, since it has had a 5-year hiatus and wanted to be there for the first show but because of Covid and the travel restrictions it just wasn’t really feasible. I do hope to go this year and a few others.
Lol, I will say for the first show I was very excited and very nervous in attending. I don’t think I would have been as nervous if it was in another city or such. But it ended up being great and wanting to go to more shows.

Q: Okay I’ve gotta ask… is there any particular exercise that you love seeing strong women do? For me it’s pull ups. There is something sooo sexy about a woman who can do them for reps!
A: Now this is a tough question lol, I will say I do enjoy the pull-ups as well, enjoying watching the lats work.  The exercise uses a ton of muscles to do the movement and not an easy exercise.  But I have a large pallet that it’s hard to put it down to one exercise, but anything with the upper body I’m always impressed with, like bench, curls and dips etc.  I do enjoy it all. 

Q: Thanks so much for explaining all this to me. Is there anything else you’d like to add?
A: This is like an opening up for me in writing this, and not sure I would be doing this without the anonymity of this place.  It would be extremely hard to speaking openly about this with someone without the feeling of being judged or not.  I equate it to openly chatting about seeing providers in my everyday life, because it brings the same feelings and emotions…and the judgement that people would bring upon me.   

I do appreciate the time, Lydia, and allowing me to share this with Lyla.  I hope it brings awareness to it, that there are other people like me out there and everyone should always feel free to share your experiences.

I know since joining Lyla in my early years that this place as opened my eyes to many different experiences and from others’ experiences to realize that there are so many different kinks/fetishes out there for everyone, you just have to find yours.

P.S. I’ll plug the Muscle Girls group on here and we have quite a few pics posted up, feel free to join and contribute. Or if you have questions pertaining to this kink and/or sessions in general, feel free to message me.

Thanks for sharing your interests @conquistador, I can certainly understand the attraction.  You are brave asking for a beat down from such strong women.  Lucky you only had a sore neck for a week

Thanks @lydiahardwood.  Your interviews always interesting and enlightening.

Thanks @conquistador I appreciated your perspective on thisas an amateur body builder (never made it to the show but very close) 

 

I can say the respect for the hard work these ladies put in their physique is not only just about the bodies but also the will power to maintain a healthy lifestyle which requires such determination.

It can be almost intimidating now to be with such a lady while not being as involved in the fitness world...but motivating to get back into it

 

Also, YouTube comment very true!

Thanks again

Thanks @lydiahardwood for inviting @conquistador to the interviews.  Having met him unofficially I can say that we have this common interest in bodybuilding ladies although he looks for it more then I do.

[Phaedrus 209521]

Thanks for this, @conquistador! I have to say, this is something I know very little about - it's always great to find out more.

[Kitten 1281]

I love food far too much for the physique however do quite well when it comes to a tough mentality.

This was a great interview and an interesting perspective!

[Mikeyboy 27133]

It was Sarah Connor (Linda Hamilton) in Terminator 2 that started my appreciation for stronger more muscular women. (Yes I'm dating myself lol) She was tough and damn she was hot!! It was a real departure from my previous ideas of beauty. 

Great interview. Thanks for sharing @conquistador

[conquistador 18487]

@Mikeyboy yes for sure she would have been an influence and should be included amongst the other women.  Definitely enjoyed watching her in that role.

Thanks for reading and sharing.

Thanks for this interview @conquistador - it was a good read and the terms 'sthenolagnia and cratolagnia' sent me to google, expanding my vocabulary, lol. While I do admire an athletic toned female body I'm impressed rather by the athletic performance. Given the too frequent reports of athletes being groomed and taken advantage of by coaches there are clear lines that this interview does a good job of recognizing and staying on the appropriate side.of them. 

I liked @Kitten's comment and I'm curious to hear more from the female perspective. This is a two way street! 

I'm a long time coach and all my kids are high performance athletes. One of them can do pull-ups and chin-ups with more than 2/3's of their body weight strapped around their waist. Their twelve pack (!?) doesn't compare to my impressive keg.

Were you asking my perspective on fit and athletic ladies?

I definitely admire strength and endurance and I know the discipline it takes to have a physique like that.

I have the utmost respect for someone who takes care of themselves so well.

I think there could be a lot of fun games that could be played with such a strong playmate.

It may be one of the few times I just might have to submit 😸

I would elaborate more but might get me in trouble with the mods!

[waterat 20911]

@Kitten  I was complimenting you on recognizing your 'tough mentality - something I appreciate and admire!

Wondering how often the ladies experience 'sthenolagnia and cratolagnia'.

As the lyrics of Richland Woman Blues say: "Red Rooster sings 'cock-a-doodley doodle do', Richland Woman says 'any dude'll do'.

I'm sliding off topic..... time for a new thread!

 

[Kitten 1281]

Well I still don't regret my previous comment and I would like to thank you for the recognition!

When I make it back on the coast I would love to share some more of my brilliant, confident energy with you! 💋
