I used to sit crossed legged, but the blood gets trapped in the lower leg and makes it an uncomfortable position, hence the fidgeting. I believe people with varicose veins are advised not to cross their legs when sitting because of this, as the veins struggle to pump blood back up the legs.

when i cross my legs, my bottom knee usually digs into my upper calf and can become uncomfortable. When i move my legs and feet around, it alternates the weight so i can sit more comfortably.

I find myself shaking tables and even cars sometimes with this habbit. My mother did it when I was little, and I hated it. Now that I am older, I guess I have acquired this habbit from her. I also rock myself to sleep with my rhythmic foot at night. It’s nothing that I have ever consciously decided to do, it just happens.

It’s because our legs go numb when crossed — usually the top one. Switching them restores circulation.

When you sit cross-legged, the circulation diminishes after a while. You have to move your legs around to keep the blood flowing and stay comfortable. This might involve moving the leg or foot, uncrossing the legs and crossing them in the other direction, etc. It is about comfort, not sexual stimulation.

For me it’s more of a nervous habit or from boredom. I remember seeing women do it when I was little, and trying it. It really does become a habit that you don’t think about.

Probably from boredom, nerves, or discomfort. As far as boredom, it’s like twiddling your thumbs or tapping your fingers. We might be nervous and changing positions a lot. Might be discomfort as legs may ache or try to go to sleep when crossed. If it has any deeper connotation to all of this, I don’t realize it consciously.

Is everything sex to men? No offense meant, but it’s just fidgetting. Very rarely does it mean anything. And, to let you know a little secret, foot-twirling burns something like 250 calories an hour. That’s why I twirl my feet when I sit cross-legged. Also, sitting cross-legged isn’t exceptionally comfortable for extended periods of time if you don’t move your legs.

Speaking only for myself, it’s just a figdety thing analogous to tapping your fingers on a desk. I discount a sexual aspect because the behavior doesn’t seem specific to the gender or presence of observers. It isn’t at all stimulating personally, either.

It is a form of fidgeting, just like drumming your fingers on the table or swirling the ice in your glass. Some of us just find it hard to sit still.

Women don’t usually do that to ‘invite’ any sort of sexual attractions. Most just do it to make themselves more comfortable. If you sit one way without moving for a long enough time, it becomes very uncomfortable. Women also do it out of boredom sometimes.

Foot flirting is usually done under the table. Sometimes it’s with or without the shoes and making various contact with the other person’s feet . This would be done in public in the open for all to see to express interest or attract attention of another person.

If we could something more out of it, we might do it more. It’s just fidgeting.

I too have noticed that women move their crossed leg up and down. I have asked a few women about this and have been told by the unshy ones that yes, there is some sort of stimulation when the leg is moved in that fashion.
