This. And just sit whatever way makes you comfortable. I get in trouble all the time for sitting the way I want to.



I don't consider "without pants" comfortable. It also explains why you get in trouble for sitting.

Can't do the cross version and i'm not fat. I think it depends on how strong ur legs are. In my case i've played tennis for 10 years. It's impossible for me to cross womanly without putting my balls up the legs.
+ it's not healthy.

It doesn't really matter whatever is comfortable for you. I personally don't it, hurts my dick but some people do (mostly asians). Just don't sit that way when you're around females.

Fat people can't do knee to knee, so they have to do the second one.

Gay people have the same anatomy as straight people, its a matter of comfort.

so you are gay and sitting in the manly ankle-knee way..? *joking*

Well i think this is all just about comfort and if i sit knee-knee ...wait... i don't sit knee-knee ever, because it is not comfortable at all!

Actually theres a number of great reasons to go for the manly 90° cross.

Obviously the first of these is the simple fact that you really don't want to cook your balls. In fact, the testes need to maintain a temperature a couple degrees lower than body temperature (37° celsius). High heat can cause sub-par sperm health and even infertility if it's maintained for extended periods of time (this happens to sufferers of cryptorchidism, otherwise known as an undescended testicle). Elevated testicle temperature can also cause a large decrease in the levels of man juice your testes can produce. By man juice, I mean testosterone of course. Testosterone is responsible for all those perks of being a man: bulging muscles, gritty facial hair, and a large amount of your mental and physical energy.

Fig 1: A man suffering from low levels of testosterone. Wonder why?

To maintain your manliness, the male body produces up to ten times as much testosterone as the female body. Even a 10% dip, or raise in a womans case, can send you down an ugly road.

Fig 2: Woman suffering from 500% increase in testosterone levels, equivalent to 1/2 an average mans testosterone.

Maintaning a proper 90° cross allows ample airflow to your manly bits, preventing any embarrassing gender confusion spurred by low sex hormones.

Another nasty side effect of crossing your legs is an increased chance of developing varicose veins. Varicose veins are tangled, enlarged veins in the legs, that show up as visible bluish bumps on and around the lower leg. Ever give your grandma a sponge bath? You know exactly what I'm talking about.

Fig 3: ew.

These unsightly veiny mountains are caused by the failure of valves inside veins that prevent blood from running backwards because of gravity. Blood then collects in the veins, eventually swelling them into disgusting bubbles of bloody fun.

What does this have to do with crossing your legs? Everything. Crossing them tightly puts pressure on the surface veins, increasing the odds of valve failure, and we all know what that means.

Fig 4: what that means.
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]

Keeping ones legs relaxed and negating the effects of gravity as much as possible, much like one might do while crossing ones leg at a 90 degree angle, serves to greatly decrease the odds of developing these unsightly blood bags.

Finally, crossing your legs knee to knee makes you look like a girl. No really. It's been an age old lesson in girls school's that should any young lady wish to not appear whorish and poor, they are to cross they're legs. Search "crossed legs" in google images right now. Do it. Know what, I'll link it for you. Do you see a single man leg anywhere on that page? I rest my case.

Fig 5: hot. Notice the distinct lack of a penis.

Crossing legs knee to knee is bad for any man's health as well as image. I am, have been, and always will be a supporter of the 90° cross for the comfort and safety it provides.

Crossing leg knee to knee is alright (but i don't do it since it squeeze my nuts) but crossing knee to knee AND putting your hands on the upper knee: THAT IS SO GAY!

I really don't care what kind of leg crossing stands for what kind of sexual stereotype

I do what ever I'm comfortable with. Ankle to Ankle is ok and so is 90° :X

I sit however feels comfortable at the time. Basically the reason guys don't cross their legs is because they want to pretend that their junk is so big that it would somehow get crushed in the process (which I'm sure isn't true for most unaroused men).

The thing that makes crossing my legs uncomfortable is the pressure against my leg from my knee, or if I'm doing the "manly way," the pressure on my ankle from my knee. For that reason I often don't cross my legs, haha. But if it feels comfortable, I'll do whatever because I'll be damned if I care about the opinion of someone that's shallow enough to judge me based on the position I sit in.

Actually, the most consistently comfortable position for me is sitting on my ankle. But it can be a good amount of trouble to get into that position, so I don't usually do it.

But yeah, I really have no idea why homosexuals would be more likely to cross their legs, aside from the fact that they are less worried about being judged as being "gay." It's not like being gay is going to make it any more comfortable.
