The most comfortable position for me to sit is Indian style. Am I allowed to say that? If I sit too "feminine" like with my legs together my brother or mom will say something and give me a weird look. I'm 5'7 and small boned so I think that has a lot to do with it.

I can cross my legs and even wrap my legs around each other better than most cis. I attribute it to frequently cruising my legs since childhood and also low T due to my kleinfelters.

When men see me cross my legs they say that they can't do it because of their stuff.

I am double-jointed myself and can sit in some weird ways. Or at least I did when I was younger and skinnier. I remember being in school about 10 and being told that I should not be physically able to sit that way, due to the ways bones sit in the body.

Fat has limited it a bit, but I can still cross my legs and if pressed I can double cross them. But then again, I am double-jointed, so its not normal.

For what it's worth I noticed that when tightly tucked I can't cross my legs properly but untucked and/or poorly tucked I can cross effortlessly and even double cross my legs lol...

I'm the same way!

Rosa may I ask how you found out you have Kelinfelters? Just curious.

Huh, well I am half Asian, so perhaps this explains some of my sitting flexibility.

I think thats more to the truth, I never really took much notice before this thread. But I had a very interesting observation last weekend. My 3brothers, my husband, my sister-in-law and her husband visited, the 5 guys watched the football on TV while my sister-in-law and myself made coffee and sandwiches. We all sat around afterwards just chatting, but myself and my sister-in-law where the only 2 that automatically crossed our legs, I just noticed the 5guys didn't cross their legs and they never do, it must be their junk, my own husband is well endowed lol I think he would find it impossible to cross his legs, maybe with great difficulty he probably finds it uncomfortable, afraid of squeezing his junk, Im just waiting for the right time to ask him, men can be very sensitive when their woman is enquiring about their junk.

LOL!!!!! Your too funny Shantel, theres 1 thing Iv learned after living over 30years as a woman and many boyfriends later, you never refer to a man's anatomy in a negative way to a man, they can get very  sensitive, its ok on a girly night out, we can have a giggle on men's junk lol among ourselves.
No it has to be in a flattering way ''oh honey, you are so well endowed, your a real man, you certainly know how to please a girl''  that always puts a smile on his face, never never say its junk.
They love to impress a woman, but hate being put down by a woman.

I'm quite sure it's not the junk. It's more, like, the belief that their junk should prevent them from doing it, and therefore if they do it, they will appear to others as if they don't have much of it. And men tend to dislike it a lot.

Seriously, unless the person is excessively fat and/or muscular, there's obviously room for the junk to move away and avoid being squashed. I can't imagine I couldn't do it even if my stuff's size tripled or quadrupled. There's more than enough extra skin for it to go underneath or over it.

No. Most men don't do it because it's "gay".

Yeah, like I said, I can't do it because I'm too fat and the legs just don't fit together like that. The junk really doesn't enter into it. There's too much collision on the mid-thigh area for it to come even close to squeezing the family jewels. Trust me. I've tried crossing my legs like that many times, and I just can't do it.


Now the sitting with the legs together and ankles crossed... I do that all the time.

It's so obvious! Many men feel the need to occupy as much territory as possible when they sit, otherwise they feel "gay". 

Some men I know, not only don't they cross their legs, but neither do they do the shopping nor the dishes nor any house work, because of the junk. Not directly, but indirectly.

Joanna, I was into my 20's and had not started male puberty. A week in a university hospital found out why and I was put on T. They didnt do genetic testing, but everything points to kleinfelters.

Aww, another riddle solved finally . I usually sit with my legs crossed, when I am relaxed, so it is mainly at home, some public places like cafeteria and such. Everywhere else I just prefer to keep my legs together or cross the ankles. I never thought why I have been doing it this way before this thread.
But I have always been annoyed by those guys in public transport, who are always sitting with their knees wide apart and not even feeling obliged to move a bit aside when somebody takes the next seat and involuntarily bumps into them. I never understood why would somebody do this, except that they probably have poor manners or just dont care how others might feel. Ok, now I got it

No problems!  The guys who I know would spread out as much as possible, no matter how they sat, whether it was on the floor or on a chair. Knees were always greater than 90 degrees apart, crotch on rude display. To me it always smacked of male insecurity and fear of being perceived as not straight. Personally, I prefer a guy who's a little more secure. And like the Neanderthal swagger, it's so ironic, it's laughable.  :laugh

this is funny as I also had troubles crossing my legs for as long as I remember. I've been on HRT for 4 months now. I always blamed it on my thighs as they are larger, however at first I didn't even realize it but I was sitting in my chair at home playing Pokemon Soul Silver on my 3DS and didn't even think about doing just crossed my legs, in fact I didn't even realize that I did it at first. It was kinda a "neat" moment. However I don't know if it was the fact I'm on HRT that now allows me to be able to cross my legs or the fact I've been losing weight.

I've found that its pretty much a habit when I sit down to just right away cross my legs like this, wasnt really aware of it till this thread brought it all up lately.
I cross them at the ankles as well, but this is the automatic habit position.

I notice that I tend to want to cross my legs as well when I sit and seiza isn't possible (like those plastic hard chairs at school). But then again it might just be part of my struggle to try and get comfortable when my favourite position isn't an option, because I do move around a lot in those cases.

I find that I automatically always cross my legs at the ankles.   I am getting to stiff in my old age to cross my legs tightly at the knees.

I can double cross my legs with very  little effort and sit comfortably.  I just tried it recently and was surprised I could do it and that it was relatively easy to do.  I don't quite look like Heidi Klum but it is a decidedly feminine pose that results and makes for  great look when wearing skirt.

My pelvis is not especially wide (to my dismay) which is why I am surprised I can do it.  It is said that the reason women can generally do this pose is because of the geometry of wider placement of the attachment legs at the hips.
