sometimes we really ARE talking about sex.

[lagilman]

so, was having a discussion w/ a male friend, and he expressed disbelief that women find a nice pair of forearms on a guy sexy.

So, ladies? (and thus-inclined gents?) What say you?


(me, I got two words for you: Peter Wingfield. *thud*



EtA: Gentlemen? You're welcome. There will be a quiz.

Yer friend's an idiot. Why are climber boys hot? Forearms and abs.

Likewise guitarists. Forearms.

[rosefox]

BASSISTS. *fans self*

[difrancis.livejournal.com]

Really? He said that? Um. No.

[blitheringpooks.livejournal.com]

With white dress shirt, sleeves rolled back a bit... guh.

[lagilman]

*thuds*

*recovers*

*thuds again*

Much more appealing than biceps, in my opinion. Well-defined forearms speak of skill with the hands, not just strength.

[maryrobinette.livejournal.com]

Yes, this exactly. And the play of muscles as the man is working... mm...

[brickhousewench.livejournal.com]

(Lurker chiming in here...)

I never noticed forearms until I saw Brendan Frasier in The Mummy.

Oh. My. Word. HummanaHummanaHummana..... It was just about all I could focus on on him.

[ubiquitous-a.livejournal.com]

OMG, I love that movie just so I can watch Brendan Fraser and Oded Fehr. Double yum!

[marinarusalka.livejournal.com]

Heh. I present to you the Winchester forearm picspam. QED

[kateelliott.livejournal.com]

Doh.

This is a no-brainer, right? Right?

[mtlawson.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm with your male friend. I figured women found abs, shoulders, and face more appealing than something like forearms.

Doofus? Maybe. But I don't go spouting off that I know what women want, either, 'cause I surely don't.

[mtlawson.livejournal.com]

I made a point of asking my wife about this, and she gave me the "of course forearms are sexy, are you kidding?" reaction.

Shows how little I know, I suppose.

[camille-is-here.livejournal.com]

Forearms. ::thud::

Though I must say my mind goes a little blank watching Antonio Banderas walk down the street in mariachi pants in the Robert Rodriquez movies.

Ok. My mind goes completely blank.

[lagilman]

watching Antonio Banderas pretty much does it for many of us. Hell, watching his cartoon avatar groom his fur sent an entire movie theater into the swoons....

(oh please. Tell me it didn't. You lie.)

[ex-fashioni.livejournal.com]

Mmm... yeah. Especially with the dress shirt, sleeves partially rolled up. Or a sweater or sweatshirt pulled up. Or even just a polo shirt. I submit as evidence, professional polo player and model, Nacho Figueras (http://www.dlisted.com/files/imagecache/photo-preview/files/galleries/wenn2437364.jpg) (Even Prince Harry's got some nice forearm action going...)

*thud*

don't mind me I'm just parked on that pic drooling admiring uniforms...

[isabeau.livejournal.com]

Forearms are serious guh material. (Well, can be.) I mean. *flails* That and hands.

[blazedglory.livejournal.com]

Hands! Oh Yes! Hands.

[ladyeuthanasia.livejournal.com]

My boy's forearms are HAWT. I just have to stroke them and go totally gooey.

[irismoonlight.livejournal.com]

Oh HELL yes. Long-sleeved shirt, rolled up to just below the elbows, with a firm set of forearms showing? HAWT.

[dsgood.livejournal.com]

I'm quite willing to believe that SOME women find this sexy. If a reputable survey showed that a majority of heterosexual women find this sexy, I would believe it. I am not willing to believe that there's anything male which ALL heterosexual women find sexy.

There are men who are aroused by the sight of a woman smoking. Some of them find it difficult to believe there are men who aren't turned on by this.

A higher percentage of heterosexual men are aroused by the photos in Playboy magazine. I'm not one of them. (No, I don't read Playboy for the articles; I find those boring, too.)

disregarding fetishes...

[lagilman]

My exact words were "women find a nice pair of forearms on a guy sexy." Not that "this is what they focus on" or "this is what they look for" but we "find it sexy." And yes, I'm going to go way out on a limb and say there are certain things that heterosexual women who aren't stuck in a fetish-loop WILL find sexy, even if it isn't in their top 3 of what turns them on.

It's not a scientific poll, but the fact that in an open sampling, we have an immediate 19+ saying "oh hell yes" and not a single woman saying "nope, doesn't do it for me..."

I think we've got a pretty clear indicator.

[anaquana.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah! I find myself nibbling my husband's forearms ALL THE TIME because they are irresistible.

And, Peter Wingfield is just walking porn all around.

[mevennen.livejournal.com]

Yep, that'll do it. I was thinking about this the other day.

[madmiss.livejournal.com]

I do like a good forearm...

Jake Gyllehaal -an actor I usually find v. annoying- went up in my estimation after Prince of Persia. (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1541571072/nm0350453)

Though to be totally honest back beats forearm in my books.
When Sean Maher got his shirt off in Serenity... ::thud::

[rovanda.livejournal.com]

mmm... :)

[mizkit.livejournal.com]

Forearms aren't a body part I think about. That said, now that I've been made to think about them...yeah. Rawr. :)

[blitheringpooks.livejournal.com]

 

[barbhendee.livejournal.com]

I like collarbones (smiles) . . . and Christian Bale.

[bigferret.livejournal.com]

I couldn't agree more.

And Peter Wingfield is totally THUD...and really sweet in person too.

[nycdeb.livejournal.com]

OMG - so sexy.

[scarlettina.livejournal.com]

And this is one of the reasons I like musicians (especially guitarists and pianists) and motorcycle riders: they have Forearms of the Gods. A good pair of forearms is a huge turn-on for me. You are so totally right about this.

[msdori.livejournal.com]

DUDE. I've had a Forearm Thing for… Well, ever since you've known me.

I'll see your Peter Wingfield and raise you Hugh Jackman and Jared Padalecki.

[lagilman]

I was WONDERING when you'd show up....

[sleary.livejournal.com]

I once saw Nathan Fillion in person, during a Serenity promotional thing. He had his sleeves rolled up. He talks with his hands. OMFG. I mean, I'd found the rest of him nicely attractive before that, but the forearms that day... I was utterly mesmerized.
