Around 10 years old I saw a show on tv and a woman lift a man when she dance with him and I was friend with my female neighborn and she was a year older than me and taller than me and I asked her to lift me and she lilted me in front carry and I was very excited. After that my female cousin was 2 years younger than me and a little bit shorter but I often sit in her laps and she accept to liftes me in front lift and one time on her shoulders.

At age 7
 

When i was 7, i used to play with my neighbour girl with 1 year younger than me. She lifted me many times. Usually i wanted to prove my 'manliness' by lifting her as well. But i always secretly loved the other way around.
I watched some cartoon scenes which triggered me into this fetish. Like, wonder woman carrying superman in justice league cartoon.
there was a live action show called 'power rangers mystic force', where the skinny girl cradle carried the tall guy. It blew my mind when i was kid.
Then i have another trigger, when i saw beth phoenix lifted santino marella in a match in wwe. It was really unexpected for me, cause i didnt know about beth being that strong.

When I saw Chyna lift a refree with one hand

Guess I was born with it.

I was always shorter than average and much skinnier than average. I’m 5’11” and 200 pounds now. You might be on to something with the developmental self-image or perception. That makes me think.

I think about 20 is the age I started liking lift & carry stuff

LC
 

As young as I can remember. Used to watch a lot of cartoons as a kid and seeing on there in a numerous sort of way is definitely what initially created my interest in it.

Good question.
Probably for the first when I watched cartoon with strong girls sometimes carrying men, like She-Hulk. Or Diane stopping rocket - that was fantastic scene too.
But it was in subconscious. I understood, that lift&carry is my fetish in middle school (14-16 years old) when I saw girls giving piggyback rides to some of my friends. Cool guys only and... I was too ashamed to ask a ride too. Now I'm 31 years old and still don't know this feeling ;/

As young as I can remember for sure. Definitely got the idea and interest from some of the super hero cartoons I used to watch as a kid. Not sure why it stuck with me for so many years. Kinda interesting to think about

I think already 10 years old is when I first started to really get into it. I’m not really sure where it came from tbh. Probably tv shows? Or just a fascination with strength in general.

Maybe when I was 12 year old. I started to see videos about strong women (I don't know why). This videos were "muscular woman" or "woman beat man" videos. Later I found these videos boring, so i started to see lift and carry videos. Lift and carry videos are exciting to me, and nowdays I see these videos. Sadly I have just a few real lift and carry experience, only piggyback.

I think it was when i was 15. I got hooked very quickly.

I think it was when I was about 9 years old. For some time I only dreamed about being lifted by a girl and I remember when I played a game with my family and I made the winning shot for my team my cousin (who was in my team) was so happy that she lifted me suddenly. I was really surprised and must have made a scared sound and she put me down again immediately and apologized for it.

I think already 8-10 years of age is when it started to develop. It may have been from seeing it in cartoons and being attracted to strong women in that way. It sort of just stuck as I got older.

Pretty much lately, was more into tall/amazon content but I guess they both come together :D

i guess since i was a small kid i always felt good when a girl lifted me. Then at age 11 i discovered lift and carry videos on youtube, and with the years to come i become more and more obsessed with them since i was ashamed to ask a girl for a lift, and the internet videos were the only thing i could do to access my desire.

Since I was like 12-14. I had a few friends who would lift and carry for fun me when we were kids. At first I used to find it cringe, but then I actually started liking it and then developed a kink for it.

Years after I would go to cybercafe on weeknds to watch lift and carry videos because internet wasn't cheap where I lived. Now I'm obsessed with lift and carry.

When I first watched an f/f video by accident at the age of 13

I was a little surprised when I read this thread. Many have this fetish from childhood or teenage years. I was very late in discovering it. I was about 25 or 26 years old when a boyfriend suggested I lift him. At first I was completely baffled and didn't understand why he would do it. After all, I had a pretty boring sex life before that.

Prolly around 17

i start at 6 years about, i lift my classmate. at age 11 i saw in tv a lift cardle scene and i want to lift older woman and did it

I remembrer exacly at 11yo

I think the idea is to tell the age and how it started

roughly 5 or 6

At what age were you into L&C
 

As a teen ager it was the Mildred Burke video catalogue that showed many pictures of men being lifted by women.

I'd say from about 12 years old, but back then, I just knew I liked it for no specific reason; then I connected it to the fetish and BOOM

Honestly for me it started when I was 15. Idk why or how but the idea just turned me on. Especially piggyback rides for some reason.

For me it started at 19. It stemmed from watching WWE :laugh: since then i've being attracted since

When i was 10. Came across a random Youtube video and have been hooked ever since

I have always have an attention for muscular women, as time passes I think I observed lift and carry and it became a thing, to feel the strength when lifted, bear hugged, it was in my twenties (I am 33) with the internet that it really went crazy and now it is past just fantasizing about it but booking sessions.

Maybe when i was 7

Maybe since adolescence, I couldn't say the exact age.

Since childhood
 

I remember to have had dreams about lifting and carrying since i was 10 years old

When I was 10

And the relevance to L/C is......?

I was 20. It was lunch break at work and there was just me and a female colleague. We were always flirting with each other but this time it developed into playful tickling. Out of nowhere she suddenly said; "Let me see if I can pick you up", then just scooped me up in her arms. Up until that point, I had no idea.

OK, so this is super interesting to me. I wish I knew where it came from, but it's great to see that my experiences are like so many of you. A lot of you are saying it started incredibly young, before puberty for sure. Some say they were born with it. That makes sense somehow.

All I know is some of my earliest memories playing with toys, I liked the idea that the smallest ones were the strongest. At that point, it had nothing to do with gender. At some point, I became fascinated with lifting and being lifted by other kids, again gender not being important. I even got my little brother (almost four years younger) to bring it up because other kids my age might wonder why I was asking. I think my favorites were when smaller kids could pick up bigger kids, and somewhere along the way, the idea that girls could lift boys.

When it really got started was... I don't know, I was probably a preteen I guess? I randomly had a dream about a girl lifting me under my armpits and tossing me, and it was just incredible. I don't have a clue why. I thought about it a lot, and I found that I enjoyed it more when girls lifted me in real life, more than I used to, and differently than I used to. Eventually of course, I looked online to see if anyone was doing this, and what do you know - a bunch of other people just like me. How weird.

Hey , welcome to the forum you should checkout the real l/c experiences thread , you'll love it also I like your writing style its vivid , it'll be great to hear your experiences there , remember the more the merrier

I can barely remember the exact experience but I was around 11. I was one of the smallest in our class and and that caught the attention during one of the breaks. One of the girls in basketball team decided that she could pick me up and I said go ahead. She was a full head taller than me. She just put her hands under my armpits and pushed me straight up over her head and kept me there grinning. That triggered 3 more girls to try the same thing, picking me up by my armpits. They all succeeded... The most interesting one was a skinny girl nearly my height just approached me and picked me up effortlessly. I think that was the point for me...

did you ever had an orgasm while being lifted by them?

Strane encounter of a senior school girl lifting me when i was in class 5
 

I was in class 5 and i had little chitchats with a girl in class 7. One day playfully she lifted me and said should i drop you and took me to terrace. I was very scared.. but she was just joking then. But that kick and adrenaline rush where it was not even sexual at that age.. i still wonder where is she

I was proably about seven or eight when i discovered i enjoyed it, i rember a girl in my class, who was the biggest girl in the class. Picked me up in a bearhug out of nowhere, she held me up for maybe 10 sec before putting me down,i a got rush of adrenaline, but it was not a sexeual feeling. From then on a started fantizing about it.

At around the age of 11 I discovered that fetish is called l&c and started discovering content about it. Before that I just know that I like strong girls

Age
 

I was I think around 15

Based on the experience everyone posted here, I feel that this landc is ingrained in our psych from childhood, I mean so many people have shared there experiences and I feel almost everyone here had nearly the same at one or the other point.
And this shows its more common than we think

From a very young age, maybe 5 or 6. I initially wanted any shoulder ride regardless of age or gender, but it later developed into a fetish. I'm wondering if it's a fetish since it was present before I had any sexual desire.

I was into L&C at age of 10 or 11 during watching a television program in which a girl front lifted a man at that moment i thought it was something unusual, also at that moment i was not aware that it would turn to be a fetish

I’ve thought it was sexy since age 4.
 

Since I was 4, I’ve dreamed about it. Started when a pretty blonde performed on tv, and the camera zoomed to the point where it felt like she was holding me in her arms. Even at that age, I felt attracted to her. That night, I dreamed of her carrying me her arms, right up close to her gorgeous face. I dream about it a lot, and when a pretty lady does pick me up in a dream, I feel a sensation similar to peeing (i didn’t think it was a wet dream but knew I was wet) because of contact on her body and the closeness involved. It wasn’t until I was 14ish I knew what these dreams were doing to me.

When I was 12 yrs old I saw a movie poster in that indian actress Anushka shetty Hip carrying Raviteja :tt1: that triggered me for lift carry from that day onwards I always trying to find lift carry videos and posters from the movies:D

I think in kindergarten when my female peer suddenly lifted me from behind. I believe that incident trigered the development of my lift and carry fetish. Im not sure if it is really a fetish in my case. It's just my sexual foreplay prefference, nothing more. I could do it without being lifted and carryed by a woman and also without thinking about it.

My first lapsitting experience
 

It happened when I was a little boy. I had spent a week in a ski resort, where I met a little girl I skied with every day.
On the last day there was a party organized at our hotel. At a moment, when I was walking by her as she was sitting, she grabbed me onto her lap and locked her arms around me. I was very embarassed to be stuck in such a situation in front of every body as I tried with no succes to stand up and free myself from her little but strong arms but that kept me emprisonned on her lap.
I was skinny and quite tall for my age : though she was smaller she was totally controlling me.

first experience
 

I was about 5 years old, when a girl of 8 years lifted me in cradle style during a holiday. It was an immensly beautiful feeling and I think this triggered everything.

In fact, I am happy that I have (or have discovered) the passion for lift & carry, since it is something powerful enough to pull me away from negative/sad thoughts ever since.:)

I was only very rarely lifted by girls as a kid (I remeber three situations), but, approximately beginning at the age of 22, a long series of lifts and carries in various situations and settings began lasting until today. :) :) I guess, it is part of my lifestyle.

That's the same way with me. Female cousins and older girls lifted and carried me a few times when I was a kid. It was a taboo for me, but I still enjoyed it. I never was lifted in my adult life, though.

I hope, you will find possibilities to make experiences
 

I really hope, you will find possibilities to make lovely lifting experiences in your adult life. Fingers crossed! :)

For me, it still is so fascinating. It really never gets old and boring. And, I think it is possible to "attract" being lifted just by allowing oneself to be open and, most importantly, to feel not ashamed for asking it or opening up about it. It is, after all, such a harmless thing, I'd think. :)

I agree with you. It's a rather harmless activity, although some people try to pathologize it like it's a mental problem or a social taboo. It's fine if it's kept in perspective and there's no obsession. It's not even a real fetish if you don't need it in order to become aroused.

I always wanted my girlfriend or my wife to have a lifting and wrestling session, but I never had the guts to mention it. I thought that there was a slight chance that they would freak out over it. I showed a F/F lifting tape to a date back in the day, and she was really turned off by it. I acted like it confused me too.

I put an ad in a small alt newspaper way back when that was a thing. I asked to meet women who were into lift and carry. A girl called, and she said that she liked to do that with her girlfriend and that I should join them. She didn't leave a contact number! :crying:

I started to be into lift and carry during my teenage years, I often had dreams and fantasies about it though it was mostly unconcious. Over the years my liking of lift and carry intensified and I become self aware of it when I was 18 or 19. Even now I don't know why I am into it.

response
 

I completely understand your situation and I also agree to your view that it is not a real fetish, since it is not needed to be aroused. I also think that the phenomenon involves much more than a sexual aspect: For example: emotional relief, handing over control to another person, a feeling of security, which is so intense, that it is normally not reachable in adult life.

In various longer or shorter relationships, I only had one explicitly negative experience (in this case I asked for a little bit of wrestling). In the biggest part the reactions were positive to very positive, maybe neutral in a few cases, but - apart from this one case - always friendly.

Maybe try contact improvisation classes? Or a "thai and fly" or "therapeutic flying" massage? I also was once lifted by a professional cuddler. I really hope you get to experience being lifted soon.:)

Those are good points (emotional aspects of lifting). I think that the breaking of taboos plays a part too. I and a second forum member think that it isn't "manly" to be in the role of the liftee. He's more strict than I am, though.

It wouldn't really bother me to be lifted and carried by a woman, even a bigger and stronger one. Frankly, the embarrassment might be a turn-on. That means that I'm not REALLY that against it. It's not THAT much of a taboo.

I've been this way since I was a kid. Then, bigger and stronger older female cousins would lift and carry me, and one of my dad's friend's daughters would too. It was a semi-taboo, but I still enjoyed it. You don't have much of a choice if they're four to eight years older before you turn 13.

I would have definitely had a session with a Las Vegas professional lifter when I was in my early twenties. She was known to be one of the best in lifts and carries. I would have met up with the women who messaged me without a contact number too because they wanted to have me join their lifting fun. I'm still not averse to the idea.

I've been into lift and carry since I was a teenager. My first memory of it goes back to a cousin who was just a year older than me... she'd piggyback me around the backyard like it was nothing and that thrill has stuck with me ever since.

interesting points!
 

Thank you, I fully understand your thoughts. I more than once had the situation, that I was lifted by a bigger and stronger woman in public, and I also had this feeling, that the embarrassment was a turn-on. :) I also think, it is "manly" to enjoy being lifted by a strong female, since it means, that there is enough self-confidence to show weakness. :) Childhood experiences are also wonderful, I remember, that I have a few, too, for example a piggyback in primary school.

Regarding a lift&carry session: The ones I had (plenty) were always great, even though an (unplanned) lift in a daily situation without a commercial/professional background is for me even a bit more intense. On the other hand, a lift&carry session from a very strong woman is something magical in another sense/in another function (for example with Xena, https://landcforum.com/showpost.php?...9&postcount=17)

response
 

Thank you, these are super interesting aspects for me. There is also such a feeling in me, that I might be seen as not manly when being carried - whereas I also would rather, like you, not be too strict in this respect. And, in this respect, I fully understand that the embarrassment can be a turn on. I was sometimes carried by a tall (approximately 2 cm taller than I am) and strong woman in public with other people (and also all of her friends regularly) seeing it. Particularly in these moments, exactly this feeling came up, but it also ignited fascination in me and made it even more intense to surrender to her strength.

Furthermore, I share the feeling you had as a kid. It was very similar in my life. :)

Is the Las Vegas professional lifter still active?:)

I had no choice in the matter. One cousin (eight years older) tossed me back and forth with her friend when I was five, one girl (four years older) cradle carried me and a girl before she rolled us down a hill when we were around six, one cousin (five years older) carried me over her shoulder against my will because I refused to come into the house when I was eight, and one cousin (six months younger) straight lifted me before she carried me to a distant spot in the yard when I was thirteen. She was stronger than most boys her age. I enjoyed the broken taboos!

The L&C pro retired at some point in time. Those sessions can create a lot of wear and tear on one's body over the years. I would have loved a lifting session with her. The "older woman" aspect would have been a bonus.

response
 

I was carried one-two times as a kid in primary school - my only experiences before being a grown up. As a kid, it was such a great feeling for me.
Did you ever look for a similar session experience with another woman? I understand the "older-woman-aspect" very well. :) While in my 20s and early 30, there sometimes were situations in which I was lifted/carried by older women, feeling security and the aspect of "letting go" emotionally on a particularly high level. :-)

It really was a fundamental experience. She was bigger and stronger than me, and I wasn't sickly or weak. She likely had the strength of a college man. She carried a man who was around 220 pounds! She liked to lift boys and men for some reason. She straight lifted a third cousin's twenty-something boyfriend from behind when he wasn't aware (like my situation). She carried her twin brother (really her little brother) all of the time. I just got that one lift, which was very disappointing because she could have lifted me in a zillion ways since I was very light for her.

I toyed with the idea of a lifting and/or wrestling session. I especially wanted my SO to have one, but I never broached the subject, out of fear. I came close to likely having one with two girls after I placed an ad in a local alternative paper, but she never left a contact number in her reply! Unlike you, I've never been lifted in my adult life, so your posts are vicarious thrills.

4 or 5, I was at a friends house playing & his big sister lifted us both up onto a wall. I liked her & I suspect that must be what triggered all this.

I recall being facinated by both strong women & big boobs by the time I was 8 years old :thumbup2:

Thank you, it makes me so happy to read that my experiences are meaningful to you. :) I think, in a relation, dealing with the wish that my partner would have a lift and carry session, I'd also consider this as very difficult to realize or to even bring this topic up.
