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?

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

Likewise guitarists. Forearms.

[difrancis.livejournal.com]

Really? He said that? Um. No.

[blitheringpooks.livejournal.com]

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

[rosefox]

BASSISTS. *fans self*

[brownkitty.livejournal.com]

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

(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.

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

[kateelliott.livejournal.com]

Doh.

This is a no-brainer, right? Right?

*thuds*

*recovers*

*thuds again*

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.

[maryrobinette.livejournal.com]

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

[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*

[strigine.livejournal.com]

Heeeeeeell yes. I have a thing for the bassist of this one Japanese band...hommuna.

[brownkitty.livejournal.com]

Carpenters and pianists, I tell you.

[windrose.livejournal.com]

Oh, hell yes!

[isabeau.livejournal.com]

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

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.)

[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.

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.

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::
