I turned 40 this year and have found myself increasingly crossing my legs when sitting in the office chair or on the sofa at home. I now find it quite comfortable and it seems to help me address better posture in my lower back, in the office chair anyway.

I distinctly remember as a younger man looking at my father sitting crossed legged when reading the paper in his chair and thinking it was less than masculine.

I think my bks used to pinch between my thighs but these days they hang so low that they seem to fall right through and are cosseted firmly between seat and my raised buttock.

Is this a normal turn of events post middle age?

I'm talking above the knee with legs bent 90 degrees.

Thus...

For years I watched my father and Grandfather do this and thought it was the most uncomfortable way to sit evahh.

Now, at 39 I can't stop myself, I put it down to genetics.

I can't help thinking I look like Kenny Everett doing the "Best possible taste" woman though, my wife's given up shouting insults at me when I do it now.
Glad I'm not the only one.
