Age is not kind to a woman's upper arm.
Except in the exceptionally fit, the skin becomes flabby and flappy and puckered--a display area for crepe and cellulite.
Of course, I've never heard that upper arms in the young, fit and desirable were featured erogenous zones.
Perhaps the firm upper arm of a young woman is an indication that she's willing to hew wood and draw water and tote barges and lift bales and slop the hogs and hoe the garden and tend the young and sooth manly breasts?
Whatever.
Will any Good Woman join me in retirement?
I have licked the upper arm of an elderly woman and I have ejaculated.
But not necessarily in that order.
Osso--
Welcome!
Gus--
I'm not sure whether you belong with the ruffled manly breasts or the hogs. In either cause you're Gertrude's problem--unless Gertrude would like to join the League of Good Women (Crones' Division).
We could get a Flaps Are Beatiful club going...
Noddy, by flapping my upper arms very fast, I can (almost) become airborne.
Why aren't there swim suits with sleeves, fer gosh sakes?
There are certain African women whose breasts sag down below their waists so they can suckle their young children as they walk alongside their mothers. No one want saggy breasts, but this is an obvious use for them. What use are flabby upper arms? To make enough wind to keep away flies? Perhaps musical instruments, a slap and flap sort of thing.
Sigh.
Ah, there's Phoenix, my extremely short little friend...
Osso--
I remember reading a memoir by a Formerly Male author who started hormone therapy for his Sex Change when he was in his 40's. One of the things he noticed fairly early on was that his biceps turned into flaps.
Phoenix--
I'm not prejudiced here, just uninformed. Am I correct in my vague impression that many Orthodox Jews eschew labor saving devices because hard-working women are a delight unto the Lord?
Tryagain--
Your query reminds me that in pioneer days a Good Woman could substitute for a mule at plowing time.
Usually on the canal a Good Woman got to lead the mule, but needs must when the devil drives.

Flap! Flap! and occasionally Slap! when vigorously toweling after a bath.
For swimming you can always submerge yourself neck-deep, but I spent some time in the sun today with my peer group. I'm a woman suited to flowing draperies. Few women in their sixties and seventies--and I include myself--are stylish in sleeveless shirts--or even more revealing, sleeveless jerseys.
Shawls weren't just for winter warmth or a substitute for a loving arm in the cool of the evening. Swawls provided veiling where veiling was aesthetically indicated.
Phoenix, what about a set of those little doggy steps that help small dogs get up on a bed? Then again, a running leap does provide good exercise.
Missed your last post, Noddy.
Shawls, veiling, aesthetically suitable clothing for the older woman.
That must be why there used to be swimming costumes. Aesthetics.
My upper arms haven't looked nice since I was 16. I know a few young women with unattractive upper arms. Me, I like 3/4 sleeves.
I'm with you, Freeduck. Cap sleeves might as well not be there for a the good they do.

When I mentioned it to Mr. P. he wisely pointed out that those steps were made for beings with a lot less gravity than I possess.
library steps
they work
I've got a variant of these from Lane.
Phoenix--
A trampoline?
Free Duck--
I'm with you on the beauty of 3/4 sleeves. Cap sleeves call attention to the problem.
ehBeth--
Library Steps are more decorous than a trampoline--but I bet you'd opt for the trampoline.
