What rhymes with body worship?
body wor·ship

Body worship is any practice of physically revering a part of another person's body, and is usually done as a submissive act in the context of BDSM. Typical kinds of body worship include worship of muscles, the penis, the vagina, or the buttocks. Usually accompanied by prostration, re-enforcing a sense of inferiority, a "sub" generally licks, kisses and sucks their dominant's body part, and is not allowed to touch it in a more conventional way. This brings an aspect of erotic humiliation to the submissive partner. Worshipping a body can also be done because the worshipper is in awe of the body part and wishes to praise that beauty. Although encouragement may be provided, verbally or by spanking, body worship is typically received more or less passively, the worshipped party aloof. Facesitting and smothering are forms of body worship which differ chiefly because of their aggressive approach. Same sex, male-on-male body worship can arise in a non-heterosexual, non-BDSM context as a form of either a gay or a men who have sex with men erotic encounter or sexual play scene, for example in a gay bathhouse. This does not involve humiliation or domination per se, though the worshipped recipient is passive rather than dominating. A man who has a high body mass index could be an admirer of and be fascinated by the bodies of males who are lean and toned or buff (thus a low body mass index ‘hard body’) in contrast to the admirer’s own flabby, obese physique. The admired male could be of a younger age and exhibit the characteristics of a gay fetish body type known as a twink (gay slang) wherein his skin is largely free of hair or ‘smooth’, including being free of any pubic, anal and armpit hair which is characteristic of young boys who have not yet reached the stage of puberty when they exhibit and manifest such hair growth and as secondary sex characteristics. Typically the admiring man will gently manually caress, pet, rub, massage and lick the toned, smooth skinned body, especially parts like the abdomen and buttocks; commonly the nipples and penis of the person whose body is being so worshipped will be fondled, manually stimulated and aroused and then licked and orally massaged (fellated) by the admiring participant; as well, the anus might be licked and or fingered as part of the ritual touching. Such ministrations can also take place as part of cuddling and spooning positions while both participants are laying down together. Body worship is a common theme in the work of Japanese fetish artist Namio Harukawa.
