All of us use our bodies when we have sex. Even if it's the purest form of cybersex -- even if the only things touching anything are your fingers touching the keyboard -- you're still getting flooded with those feel-good chemicals that make us crave pleasure again and again. But for some, the body isn't a tool used to make them feel good, but an idol, an ideal -- something to worship, in fact.

We've all heard the old saw about our body being a temple, but most of us don't take it seriously. In fact, I'd bet that most of you -- like me -- see it less as a temple and more as a ramshackle, but serviceable, machine. It may not be a Ferrari, but it damn well runs! Well, maybe we should look at the people who really do treat their body as a place of worship...the guys who enjoy engaging in body worship.

Body worship is a bit of a catch-all term, referring to paying loving reverence to a part, or all, of another person's body. The worshipper lavishes attention with mouth, hands and tongue to the worshipped. The difference between, say, cock worship and a simple blowjob can be subtle, but the point is less about getting someone off (and even less about waiting for your turn!) and more about losing yourself in giving pleasure to your object of worship -- whether you're kissing and caressing his cock, his feet, or his hard muscles.

It's most often seen in the BDSM scene, but you don't have to be into that to enjoy the pleasure-giving and receiving that comes with it. It can be anything from being, ahem, 'forced' to worship your slave-master's cock, to tenderly massaging a beloved partner's back. What makes it body worship is the singleminded attention put into it. All of your attention is focused on it, so much you almost lose yourself...

Now, when you do all this to yourself -- when you lose yourself in pleasuring your own body -- the more common term for it is narcissism. This is a bit of a dirty word to us, with its overtones of extreme selfishness, of thinking yourself better than everyone, but in its place a little self-worship is no bad thing. Think of it like admiring the place where you have all of your experiences -- where you've spent and are going to spend your entire life! You want to love your house, your car...well, your body is far more intimate than either of those. If we don't look askance at someone lovingly polishing his sports car or spending thousands of pounds on decorating his house, why should we frown on some occasional narcissism?

Now, if you want to see some body worship in action, you could do worse than watch this week's fetish extravaganza, Centre Spread 3 , where both solo (and very hot) narcissistic worship and cock worship is showcased. If you're hungry for more, you can find some wherever long, luscious blowjobs are given. What are those guys doing but worshipping each other's cocks? Check out Painting Cock and Full Face Shot for a bit of a fix. Also, if you're keen on the overlap between body worship and leather worship, watch Hungry For Leather for some first-rate bootlicking!
