I am very conscious about crossing my legs the right way when I'm sittting but for what what ever reason I always end up crossing my legs like the women.
I finally figured it out that its more comfortable for me.

I just tried it again and I can't even do it...there's a gap I just can't close...

maybe I'm not as limber? ;)

Crossing legs is no different than sitting open legged. Who cares. I do whats comfortable, crossed, uncrossed, whatever the f comes to mind. Theyre my legs damnit and Ill do what I want with them! Furthermore, I would like to add..... ;)

its fine.

now... there is a way of crossing legs that only a woman can do. cross legs feminine style, then place the upper legs ankle behind supporting leg. a woman can easily do this. men can't at all.

I can do that fine.. My testicles end up below my legs, and my penis sits on top. It feels less comfortable than crossing the regular manly way though.

wtf? I do that all the time, and I see men do it all the time. All my life I was never aware of a gender difference between ways of crossing your legs. This is mind boggling. Where do you people come up with these things?!
Anyway I cross my legs the "manly" way sometimes too but only when I'm alone or with people close to me because it's just really rude looking.

The question is HOW do some men sit like that? Do they tuck their bits and pieces somewhere? If I try, big jim and the twins get smashed and it becomes very uncomfortable.

I sit like that occasionally. Sometimes it's more comfortable on my knees than to cross my legs in the "manly" style.

It's a very professional look I thought. People that crossed their legs perpendicularly always looked more informal to me

Yeah, I wondered that every time I see a guy sitting like that. I can't do it.


I also think 'gay' everytime I see it. Every gay guy I have known would sit with his legs crossed way like a woman.... so the mental association formed.
