Forearms are sexy
I started keeping a list on my phone every time I caught a character drooling over the love interest's forearms and now I am sharing my findings with the world! I shall continue to conduct this important groundbreaking research for the sake of all mankind . Looking for collaborators! If you find any mentions of sexy forearms in your books, I would love to add it!
Note: Inclusion in this list doesn't mean I loved the book, strangely, some of these books are my lowest rated reads. 🤷🏻♀️

I don't know what it is about arms but damn 🫠
May I recommend Wrangled by the Alien Rancher by Ursa Dax?
“The shoulders that I’d been gripping a moment before led down into whopping biceps and a set of thick forearms lined with the most enticing set of ropy veins I’d ever seen.”
Oh no, one of my weaknesses.

We Could Be So Good by Cat Sebastian definitely had a lot of forearm talk! Some of it is set in a news room in the late 50's, so there's a lot of rolling of dress shirt sleeves 🫦
Loved this one!! I second it! 🙌🏻
Perfection!!!! Adding! Thank you so much and may you find all the sexy forearms that your heart desires!!
No thank you for making a list I never knew I needed!
May I recommend The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston Good forearm lusting in that one 🫦
Yessss! I've had that one on my TBR for ages! Now I'm extra excited about it!
May I recommend the book that introduced me to this concept - The Very Secret Society for Irregular Witches
If you go to that forum, you can read some kind Boundlings, prompted by ✨forearms✨, trying to educate me on the concept of sexual attraction, which continues to elude me 😂
By the time you finish every single book on this list, you'll understand the allure of forearms hahahha and yessssss! Adding now!
Are you trying to undo my ace-ness, one body part at a time? 😂
If any body part could do that, I would bet my money on forearms 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Demi here. Can confirm my wife’s forearms are a weakness. 😅
😂😂 That book (well, not the book, the forum discussion started by the book) did make me notice more when I come across it in other books, but I have yet to notice an impact outside of that.
Now every time I read the word ‘forearms’ my brain goes “❗️sexy? (source: pagebound)”
Right?!? I brought it up with a friend one time and then started noticing it in other books to the point I needed to start a list haha
I honestly never thought about forearms before I started reading romance. I never considered it a hot body part. But my mind has been changed 😌
Right?!?
oh i can’t wait to see this list grow in titles 🫦
Thank you for your continuous research endeavours 😇🙌
The Mating Game by Lana Ferguson!
But also like, probably a dozen other novels I can’t remember this early in the morning.
