What goes into making armpit fetish videos? Male armpits are a hot trend right now among men who get off to other men. Sometimes those armpits stink. And believe it or not, some men are very into that sort of thing.
When we talk about bate and gooner culture, one aspect that rarely gets discussed publicly is the content creator—the guys who make the material gooners goon to. A newcomer might assume men just bate to porn. They do, and plenty of gooner content is exactly that. But what actually works, especially during long extended sessions, is rapid-fire digital collages locked onto particular fetishes and kinks. Every kink gets its turn in that space, stretched across hours-long videos that fully work the subject: daddies, satanic imagery, and everything in between. Endless collages of real bator bros flash on screen one after another, all dumb on their dongs.
As the trend edges from fringe to mainstream, outsiders tend to call it brainrot or a deliberate assault on dopamine receptors. Men get turned on by what turns them on. Very few ever dig into where their kinks and fetishes started. There’s no real need to. As we’ve said on this site before, when a man sinks into a kink or fetish he’s touching something life denied him. There’s nothing wrong or shameful about it. It’s simply how the male psyche works, and it’s routinely misunderstood.
I find it endlessly fascinating to see what actually gets men hard. That fascination started when I hooked up with a straight guy who wanted to wear his girlfriend’s panties while we made out. At first I was disgusted. Then I saw how fucking hard it made him, and I got hard too. The panties themselves were a total turn-off for me, but watching him get so dumb and boned while sucking my dick in his girl’s underwear did it. These videos let me watch what really lights a man up, even when the specific trigger does nothing for me.
The digital collages these creators build are like a direct look inside another man’s head. Watching bate and gooner videos—especially in a group—is one of the rare times a man puts his private fetishes and kinks on display, the ones he might once have been ashamed of, and turns them into something collective and useful. This isn’t porn so much as medicine.
I first noticed BRO STINKS when he tagged me on X and said he’d used some of our songs in one of his armpit fetish videos. I loved it. Until then I’d never really examined my own relationship with the scent of a man. I had an armpit fetish, sure, but the natural stink of a guy was something I’d always avoided. Watching his videos let me safely explore a kink that had never even crossed my mind. For the men who already carried that fetish, I’m certain the videos hit like a revelation.
I asked BRO STINKS for an interview and he said yes. We did it over Discord DM. He talks about what turns him on and how he ended up in this space. I don’t know his name, his age, or any of the usual details. I don’t need to. He’s a man like me, putting what gets him hard out in the open, and we’re all better for it.
More Than Just Armpit Fetish Videos
PATRICK: The word “stinks” evokes disgust in some people. Like if something stinks, it means it’s smelly or bad. Why did you choose the name “Bro Stinks”?
BRO STINKS: You are right, the word “Stinks” definitely comes with its own negative stigma, especially because American society looks at natural body odor or even being deodorant-free as unhygienic.
As a kid in my household, there were many words I grew up being discouraged from using. While swearing was definitely forbidden so was the use of the word ‘Stink’. I grew up being taught I always had to smell good and I never ever used that word.
So when I started exploring my musk fetish over the last 10 years or so, I came across 2 memorable hot armpit vids where to my surprise and delight the model sniffed his pit and said the following phrase which would become my favorite to hear: “I fuckin stink”. Hearing it I was instantly turned on and it totally awakened something in me, probably because it was such a taboo word for me growing up. Watching guys sniff themselves and make such a disgusting, masculine statement drove me insane. I loved the cocky sense of pride these guys had by simply being smelly. I needed to hear the word as much as I could and that was the beginning of my obsession with verbal pit sniffing and the word “STINK”. Attaching the word to my name was me owning up to my obsession, putting it right out there and it also connected me with other men who were also turned on by the word.
PATRICK: You are touching upon something we don’t often talk about when we’re bating to porn or indulging in our fetishes and kinks. That we are owning what was denied to us in life. For men, shame about our bodies and our natural scents has been a huge moneymaker for antiperspirant companies. That shame has divorced men from themselves. How has your obsession with stink and man musk reclaimed parts of you that were hidden or denied? Has working on and editing armpit fetish videos been a healing practice for you? Or has it just been hot as fuck?
BRO STINKS: Working on these musk/manscent kink videos has absolutely been a healing process to ditch the fear of rejection and shame that antiperspirant companies want us Men to feel when our sweaty, masculine bodies stink after the gym or on a humid summer day.
It’s been a strange evolution for me regarding such a specific kink. My obsession with musk and creating these videos never would have happened if it weren’t for the 2020 Pandemic experience. Quarantining at home by myself, away from the judgmental nose of society and not having to work around others in an office setting for almost 2 years, was the only way I felt comfortable enough to experiment with skipping showers and stopping the use of deodorant.
I totally let my pits and ballsack completely stink to their fullest while at home for most of 2020, thus becoming obsessed with my own natural manscent. It was like rediscovering a part of myself. I really do think the same thing happened to men everywhere, especially gay men since I definitely noticed an explosion of musk content following the pandemic. As my stink intensified, I started fantasizing about the strong odor of other men too. Since we all spent much of 2020 having marathon bate sessions because there wasn’t anything else to do, that’s when I started craving more and more musk content to bate to.

EXCERPT FROM ARMS UP BROS
BRO STINKS: So that’s how me making these armpit fetish videos started out. It was just me taking a bunch of hot clips that were way too short to bate to individually and then editing them together to create something hot just for my own edging and gooning sessions. Then I started thinking maybe a couple other people out there who also had challenges finding long form verbal musk content to bate to, might enjoy my vids.
It was a huge step to post my first edited vid publicly because even though no one knew who I was, to me it felt like I was exposing a secret part of myself. But then as I begin sharing my vids online, something cool happened….tens of thousands of people followed me and I saw we shared the same love for the word “STINK” and hearing Bros talking about their musky scent. So that was cathartic for me to release society’s shame and build this platform to celebrate it instead.
PATRICK: When you were exposing that part of yourself through these works of art–and they are very artistic –did you have any fears or concerns that people would make fun of you? These are more than just armpit fetish videos. One of the coolest things about the bating/gooner community is how accepting and non- judgemental it is. And I am way less judgemental of kinks I am not into these days. If you had those fears or concerns did creating this art do things for you in other areas of your life?
BRO STINKS: Like I said, I totally felt vulnerable at the idea of putting my projects out there. Since the content came from such intimate fantasies of mine I definitely had a fear that people wouldn’t get it or that people who didn’t share my kink would mock my work. I was definitely pleasantly surprised with the response and praise from guys telling me they are into the same things. They too had the same complaints as me about the lack of musk content out there.
As I joined communities and spaces where my videos were received, I noticed while we had many kinks in common, there were a lot of kinks I did not share, for example, scat or vomit play. Not gonna lie, seeing some of this content caused stronger reactions than others, but it was easy to accept there would be different things we weren’t all into. As well as recognize how hard it is for people to admit being into such rare kinks. So I don’t judge other people’s kinks but maintain boundaries so I don’t necessarily have to see it, kinda like how many of us act when we come across hetero porn….we respect it but are not turned on watching it.
And yeah I guess I’d say now that after being a fetish content creator, I’m much more open minded about the things I see both in porn and in other areas of life.
PATRICK: I have not seen scat or vomit play videos but I’m not going to shame anyone for that. But I don’t have to see them to know I’m not into them. But I was not that into musk until I started really exploring my own armpit fetish. And seeing your videos did spark an initial reaction in me. I had never really seen content like that before. Glorifying the male body in that way. And I’ve even come to accept myself more just through watching your videos. I am okay with being unshowered for days, now. And it’s actually quite pleasant and comforting to smell myself as a man. Seeing the hot guys on your videos get off on their own smells was really powerful for me. I only wear deodorant if I really need to. So thank you for showing me parts of myself I had hidden. Now, back to your videos…. you use a video collage method where you use footage from all different sources. Can you talk about some of the specific videos you have made and the different themes of each one?
BRO STINKS: Bro thank you for saying that my vids spark a reaction for you. In my vids it’s definitely my goal to stimulate the viewer as much as I can. Obviously you can’t smell or taste from your laptop screen so it’s important to not just have a hot bro showing you his armpit, but also to verbalize to you how good it tastes and how much it stinks. One of the best parts of making content is hearing from my Bros that my videos made them even more into musk than they were before. I think that’s a real testament of how unique the topic still is on social media.
So far I’ve put out about 45 videos in the last 2 years. Because verbal, male erotic sniffing content is hard to come by, I definitely have to search for clips on multiple platforms. Right after the Pandemic there was such a huge influx of hot guys doing OnlyFans and one of the ways they promoted their OnlyFans, was through a growing renaissance of armpit sniffing videos on IG and Tik Tok. These trends were a wet dream come true for a pit-obsessed content creator.
The collage/compilation method you mention goes all the way back to my first video, “PITS: On the Brink of Stink”. Even though it was only 7 minutes long, It took me a month to work on it and I really did think it was just a one-and-done, so I ended up using most of my fav armpit porn clips I had been collecting for years and mixed them with hot trending clips from IG and TIk Tok over sexy music. Since it was originally only for me to bate to, I kept the editing simple and unpolished, keeping the focus on the content. After posting it online, it gained a cult following amongst pit fetishists so I made 4 more compilation videos for that series.
After the 5th “…Brink of Stink” vid, I wanted to do something different.
At this time, I was exploring my fascination with Ball Musk. I was also bating to a lot of popper trainers, so using my same format, I decided to create “BALLSTINK Popper Trainer” a 3-part series all about male verbal Ballsack sniffing with popper hit instructions. To this day it’s one of my most popular series of videos, probably because they are still the only long form Ball-themed bate vids out there.
Since then, I have experimented even further. While armpits will always be my favorite theme, I’ve done one piss-themed vid and one totally focused on ass musk. My videos have grown from 7 minute projects to some having a 30 minute run time. My most popular videos such as “Sweaty Bro Smells”, “Gym Musk” and “More Musk-Huffin Bros” are more well-received because they not only showcase smelly pits, but also incorporate ballsacks, foreskin and ass musk in the same compilations. The same goes for “Musky Bro Summer”, which recently got mentioned in a WIRED news story about the Gooner Music Boom.
PATRICK: I saw that article and was thrilled you got a shout-out. I believe that bator/gooner music and video is powerful artistic expression. And it can’t really be explained and has to be experienced. Where is the best place to see your videos?
For now X is the main platform to see most of my content. I also have posted a lot of my video collection on ThisVid and BoyfriendTV.
There are some really creative Gooner content creators out there. I definitely admire the editing styles of creators like Nerdbator, PPTrainboy, Fapprkeepr and Spencer at SpoogeTube. I’d also be remiss If I didn’t shout out pioneer fetish sites like JOCK FOOT FANTASY and the male adult performers that create and put out armpit/musk fetish content, especially back when there wasn’t much of this content. Pit-sniffin Bros like Michael Lucas, Cameron Kincaid, Lance Hart and Rocky Vallarta inspired a new wave of Fetish Bros out there today like Drew Valentino, Colt Spence, Ali Rush, Justin Da Jock, Nick Charms, Andy Lee, Ace Carter, Sammy Dorgham and many more. I am pretty sure we will continue to see even more musk-themed gooner content becoming more mainstream and it gives me a big ole boner to think that my videos are helping with that.
PATRICK: Thank you for letting me interview you. I love what you do and I hope you make many more armpit fetish videos and I cannot wait to see what you come up with next.
