JAV Fetish Review: Armpits

One unique appeal to armpits is how they are shown off during natural movement. They are not considered a "private" or erogenous zone, and thus it's acceptable for them to be exposed - and by extension, unlike the breasts or vagina, clothing usually doesn't need to be removed to expose the armpits. Armpits can just be exposed in the open, and only a mere movement of the arm can give a watcher a subtle glimpse every now and then. The underarms are revealed through simple, believable actions, while the breasts or vagina are usually covered and must be exposed through deliberate action.

A woman could be raising her arms up to grab something or adjusting her hair, or stretching after waking up, and these innocent actions would give men the opportunity to gawk at her underarms. Such scenarios feel more natural rather than intentional, and while intentional lewdness is fine, natural can sometimes feel more erotic - especially since a watcher can find sex appeal in a situation that is normally not considered sexual. Of course, it does depend on the watcher in question and whether or not they actually like armpits.

On this same train of thought, armpits can be great in terms of teasing. Since they can be exposed for a mere second as a result of normal actions (reaching up to grab something, etc.) before being obscured again, watchers can get a tease for a second before being denied. This sort of "never know when you'll see them" implication gets watchers excited and anticipating. Although, like I've said previously, this might not entice a person not acquainted with the sex appeal of underarms.

This segment will be harder to put into words, but in a way, once you understand the sexual charm of a woman's underarms, it's hard to "unsee" it. There are tons of people who can't comprehend it, but after I've witnessed a woman's underarms in certain, specific ways, I've come to see that this otherwise bland zone can in fact be sexy too. One of the most common ways I came to understand the appeal is one obvious form: when women position both arms up and above their head, exposing both underarms simultaneously.

In a way, it's a lot like posing. Women can strike all sorts of sexy poses and that can give a man some arousal - this specific position is no different, especially since it exposes the armpits. While I can't put it into words that well as to why this makes them sexy, perhaps it's because a position like this one sort of "opens" the body up, pushing the "unnecessary" arms out of the way so that a person's focus is on the woman's body. The vertical motion puts emphasis on the chest, the waist, and the length of the torso. The armpits become involved in a larger composition - while they aren't specifically isolated, they become part of a pose that highlights the form of the body in a balanced way.

In a way, raising the arms up could be seen as a form of "vulnerability" too. Vulnerability is often used in JAV to push out an intimate atmosphere. A woman's relaxed muscles and exposed skin emphasize a sense of physical openness, and the armpits contribute to this.

Another one of the reasons people find armpits arousing might also be a result of coincidence. During a lot of shots where say, a woman's chest is exposed, her underarms are also exposed as well. The fact that the bare breasts are accompanied by the naked underarms possibly makes the area erotic by compliment. Similarly, this could apply to any fetish that happens to involve an outfit that reveals the armpits. Whether the woman is wearing an elegant dress or bondage gear, the opportunity to see her bare underarms becomes a lewd thought, and when they are visible, they might not be the central focus of the scene, and thus are just a sort of addition to the lewdness on-screen. Even when the armpits aren't the main focus, they can add to a scene by mere coincidence due to how natural it is for them to be exposed.

Another attractive trait to armpits could be the cleanness and clear complexion. I mean, in general, people love beautiful women. They love clear skin without fault, pure white beauty, shapeliness - pornographic productions like JAV tend to try and get the most beautiful women possible (though, not always of course) since by nature, we love beauty. Armpits can be clear and beautiful as well, and witnessing a clean, clear armpit could be similar to that concept. The visible smoothness adds to the appeal, and while armpits are often associated with being sweaty, gross, and unclean, seeing one that is smooth, clean, and beautiful will only increase their appeal. JAV naturally capitalizes on displaying properly maintained armpits to maximize attraction.

This concludes the first part of our article. The second and final part will explore negative aspects of the armpit fetish.
