Backstories: A Companion to Muscle Love & Muscle Therapy

by Richard Greye, Jayne Greye (Editor)

This collection is meant to be a supplement to the novels Muscle Confessions of a Muscle Worshipper and Muscle Curing My Muscle Worship Addiction. Each of the novels seeks to examine a man’s love of muscular women and where that fits into a society where that concept is taboo. In the process of writing these novels, my wife and I penned some complex backstories of some of the main characters. While the books were primarily intended to consider the hidden desires of men for these muscular women, we wanted to make the women full characters. That was of course easy with Melinda, who was based on many of my wife’s life experiences. After feeling small all of her life she desired to get muscular and to be seen as big and strong. The more she grew the more she wanted even more muscle. She heard all of the positive comments along her path, but also the patriarchal comments acceptable in our male-dominated society like “you look good now, but don’t get too big or you’ll look like a man.” Much of Josie’s back story was also based on my wife’s experiences so we had a head start on her story but we felt that we needed to formulate her character differently. That led to a series of background stories which in the end, developed her story and the reasons she desired to gain muscle. This process also proved helpful with Kristy, who was a character based on many different resources I’ve read and viewed over the years. To comprehend her actions, we felt we needed to trace her evolution prior. In the end, these backstories, though not a complete novel unto themselves, contributed greatly to both novels, By following the women, each of them is able to tell their own story.

The latest book from Richard Greye again discusses the nature of a muscle fetish. For this opus, he concentrated on the stories of the women starring in Muscle Therapy. The voice is given to these women, explaining their stories, on how they’ve come seeking to become muscular.

The stories of Josie, Melinda & Kristy is narrated through the eyes of these women, highlighting the important events in their lives, which were life changers for them. Each one of them has a direct link with the main protagonists of Muscle Therapy, Kyle & Rick, whom will face the results of these events during the story.

Reading these backstories really helps to understand why the relationships of Kyle & Rick develops one way or another, influenced by these women and their past. It brings some unexplained facts, details, which were left as question marks during Muscle Therapy. Surprisingly, it completes some details of the first book Muscle Love.

It depicts, for a change, muscular women as sensitive persons, caring for the ones around them, but also wanting to be seen as strong emotionally and physically. Of course, it can also go the other direction. But to know it, you’ll need to read the book! ;-)
