What's the difference?
Currently, arm grab seems to often (but not always) be used when the arms are being forcefully restrained. An alternate distinction could be that arm holding refers to only one arm being held by only one hand.
I'd like to write some wiki entries when a consensus is reached, alternately they could be aliased if people feel there really is no difference.

There's also armcling, arm_clutch, and arm_hug. These all seem to be essentially the same thing as arm_holding. I say alias all these to arm_hug (since it's not as ambiguous as arm_holding) and use arm_grab for the grabbing-arms-during-sex pictures.
I tend to prefer arm_holding. The tag name just seems a good complement to the widely-used hand_holding.
Seconding the suggestions above. arm holding for the more playful variety (post #267107, post #517811) and arm grab for the more forceful, restraining variety (post #440181, post #522258).
Note that arm hold wouldn't necessarily involve hugging the arm and arm grab wouldn't necessarily involve the act of sex.
Another question is whether there should be a tag for a character holding their own arm (post #475). And perhaps there's an issue with locked arms as well. Should it imply arm holding?
