It is pressure in the forward direction. I use it all the time when riding elevators to ensure the correct button is pressed.

Forward intention. Like a fish wanting to swim upstream.
I also want to wrap up/tangle up/spin around the opponent most time.
You will be in trouble if your opponent's
- leading leg can enter between your legs, and his center take over your center.
- body can pass next your body and his momentum can drag you down.

To me, forward pressure is the springiness that allows you to exploit any 'holes' in your opponents structure... ie when you feel a gap, you (and your structure) fill it without having to think about it.
Even if your opponents forward pressure is forcing you to move backwards / laterally, you should maintain some degree of forwardness yourself in order to keep your structure from collapsing.
agree in the most with this post, when the arm gets intercepted it should maintain intent towards the target creating the effect of bamboo under tension, if the thing in the way disappears the arm strikes automatically, if an attempt to pull or push the arm away from its path it springs back exploiting the hole left behind. Would also add that it's a mental thing as well as physical constantly striving to strike the opponents jic seen. Unfortunately some folks interpret it as pushing or turn it into something that only has a place in chi sau

Not so much pushing as a neutral force...
'Pushing' would suggest a use of force trying to move the obstacle you've just met...
What I (and I think Ian from what he says) meant is that a neutral force is used...
This way, if the opponent decides to add more force, you can absorb it (either by taking your elbow back to the hip which will allow for a counter-attack or, if needed, by moving your whole structure backwards).
Alternatively, if the obstacle is removed, you will be able to feel this and 'fill the hole' as it were by launching your attack.
