Female muscle growth
Female muscle growth (FMG) is a fantasy genre involving muscular growth of a woman. Many who enjoy these fantasies are attracted to
Female bodybuilding or other muscular women. The fantasy is often indulged by pictures of women bodybuilders whose muscles are enlarged by photo editing techniques. There are also moving formats such as gif files and others in which the woman's muscles appear to expand as she flexes them. This interest frequently centers on the biceps.
