Yes. People can be drawn to armpits for their look, feel, or scent, and you’re not the only one with that particular turn-on. It may be less common than more mainstream attractions, but “unusual” doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you.

As with any preference, the important part is respecting other people’s boundaries and keeping things consensual. If it’s making you distressed or getting in the way of your life, that’s worth paying attention to—but the attraction itself isn’t a problem.
