My thighs touch and I like it!

skinimin

I've never really understood the whole thing about girls wanting a "thigh gap" and then, after some recent weight gain, I noticed that my thighs touch and, um... I think it looks kind of sexy :embarassed:

There's just something about the thigh touch that makes thighs look full and voluptuous. And if we're being logical here (which I totally am) thighs need to be a decent size because have big hands and need something substantial to hold on to during intimate moments :blushing:

Maybe there are a lot of people who would disagree with me but at the very least it's nice to be liking something about weight gain rather than feeling huge disappointments.

I've heard it just has to do with your bone structure. Girls with wide pelvic bones tend to have the gap more naturally.

I don't mind it so much, since I don't have the body type that will have a gap (and thats okay) the only thing that annoys my about it is that I go through jeans from the leg rubbing like crazy. I don't even buy expensive jeans anymore since in 6-8 months they will we so warn down. I agree it looks sexy (if you have the right body frame)

Even at a size 4 I didn't have a thigh gap. Body type I guess, never really thought about it.

I agree with the comment about wearing through jeans-I don't mind the way my thighs look at all, but I wear a hole in my jeans right in the inner thigh area because of them rubbing together. Also, I'm trying to get into running, but if I don't wear spandex that comes down to my knees-chaffing:noway: I don't want a big gap, but firmer, toned thighs would go a long way for me lol

I'm 5'5 and even when I was a too skinny 102 pounds, my thighs touched. They've touched since puberty. It wasn't until joining MFP that I learned a thigh gap was a "thing."

Now that I'm aware, I notice it... and I don't particularly like it. It's especially prominent in Victoria's Secrets photos, yet they all have massive cleavage due to the extreme padding in the bras.

At the risk of sounding like an old fuddy dud, I miss the old days of VS when the models had thighs that touched and boobs that didn't.

I touch thighs and very much like it!

I like that little bit of "chunk" at the very tip top of the inside of my thigh. I don't want it to ever go away

Errrmmm... I would die to have a thigh gap, just saying. I don't like running and having my fat between my leg clapping together like someone is cheering me on.

I don't think either are gross, touching or the gap, until it's the extreme. I'm going to bypass the fact that your comment is completely rude, and go straight to saying an extreme of either is unattractive to me. Many women, myself included, simply have wide hips and a natural thigh gap. Doesn't mean they're "too thin."

Oh my god! THIS!! I am 5'8" and MY thigh gap showed up when I got down to 190 lbs. Definitely not in the "too thin" category there since I was actually in the "obese" category. People are just made differently. Some are prone to it, some are not. It isnt like most people look at women walking down the street, stare down their crotch and make note of the gap between their legs........

I just want muscular legs, don't give a damn about the gap.

I touch thighs and very much like it!

LOL.
I knew it was coming!!

On another note- I like my curves- but have to agree about the rubbing jeans!

odusgolp

I love this topic. It's a little better sugar is the devil and a little worse than showing too much skin on MFP.

:drinker:

Congratulations. Liking your body and feeling comfortable in the way you look certainly is a success.

Obviously different people like different things but I do not think you are passing judgement on the way others look - just you like the way you look like in yourself.

Cool pants by the way.

Build up your adductors.

im on the fence...on some people it looks good on others..eh....me personally id love the gap so i can stop getting chub rub and running pants and on the other I want muscular legs....so im no use in this convo

Owlie45

I hope I do get a thigh gap, but I probably wont I don't have much hips.
I'm sick of wearing jeans out so quickly. The perk of losing weight, I will be out of them before they are worn out.

aloha311

Never have had a thigh gap and never will. LOL Even at my smallest a size 3 and 105lbs I still had curves (mainly a butt and thighs). The only thing I don't like is when running and they rub.

BerryH

I prefer it when someone else's thighs touch mine :blushing:

prism6

obsessing about how your body should look or doesn't look will just frustrate you. we are who we are and all we can do is be the best we can be..fat thighs,skinny thighs ,no butt,big chest,no chest...we are all unique and I refuse to look at anyones body and desire their look...I am me....all no butt,jiggly belly,extra chin me

ilovemybuggy

Ew. Thigh gaps are gross. Emaciated gross.

Curves are sexy on women. When I see women who are so skinny that they have the thigh gap, I think- "She's too thin." When I see women who are FIT with curves I think, "Damn-- I want to look like THAT!"

There are a lot of women who are fit and healthy who have thigh gaps because their bone structure dictates it. How would you feel if I said, "when I see women with broad shoulders I think 'ew! they are like football players!'" Or any other bone-based comment? Would you call me a b|tch for it? Probably.

So, please think twice about calling someone gross for the body they were given, mmkay?

^^ THIS and we're all on this site to better our health and bodies- which ever way we are intending to do so. Many of us have been joked and ridiculed throughout life b/c of the way we look. The last thing we should do is bring down OTHER people for their bodies- especially since it MAY not be something they can control. This site is for people to be SUPPORTIVE - not to joke others. I personally don't welcome rude comments- so keep them to yourself!

I don't aim for a thigh gap. I figure when I'm at my ideal size, they will touch or they won't. I like both looks.

But go walk around Disneyworld for two days in 90-plus degrees and 95% humidity and tell me again how you like your thighs touching. :-)

pinthin87

It's really awesome that you like your thick thighs. I wish I was more like this. I hate mine and I hate that they always rub together.

Thigh gap?? What's that?? :laugh:

Some of the models' thighs do touch.

starracer23

For the first time (that I can recall) I have a gap when I stand naturally. I am so stinking excited!!!!...and I have very nicely shaped and muscled thighs and they work great for handles

blonde71

Ew. Thigh gaps are gross. Emaciated gross.

Wow. Judgemental much?

Lots of women have thigh gaps, and not just the "emaciated" ones. Woman at healthy weights have them too. As Veerichie stated, it's related to how wide set your hips are - it's called genetics. I didn't realize it was so disgusting to have thighs that don't touch

I've had a thigh gap my whole life. I'm at a healthy weight too. Just my .02 cents.

dawLs

oh I have a thigh gap. does that mean i'm gross?

shiseido_faerie

Even when I weighed 100lbs I did not have a thigh gap, don't have the structure for it. What I have noticed though, is that since i've gained weight (i'm about 136 right now) they chafe, which i've never experienced before, I have to wear shorts under my skirts/dresses now to avoid that because it really hurts!! Plus, I wear out workout clothes and jeans like crazy!!! Hoping that if I drop back down to 120ish and build up my muscles it won't do that anymore, but i'm still probably not going to have a gap!
