My problem is whenever I sit down, without thinking about it I open my legs. Not because I'm trying to be rude but it's comfortable. I never realized I had this habit until a few days ago. I try to stop myself, but when I stop paying attention I open my legs again. Like I said I don't do this on purpose it just happens. How do I stop??

Good Question! One way aside from just simply practicing is to tie a string around BOTH legs together keeping them shut while watching t.v. or something for , like an hour at a time...This will cause you to remember every time you forget and start to open your legs. Now lets talk about your posture.... Joking!

yep, looks wrong and ugly. its such a trun off. so i would recommend to be conscious. the first thing is knowing whats wrong and then its easy to make a change. I can see ur consious of that fact, so just be aware of it. do not give up. keep on practicing, until it becomes a habit that when u sit, u close ur legs. after 6 months, it will be part of u.

I'm a girl and honestly if guys do the whole "If you have your legs open you're asking for it" thing they're straight stupid. We're in the twenty first century and I honestly believe women should be able to sit with their legs open if they're wearing pants or shorts.

Well yeah, it's more comfortable. I prefer sitting cross-legged indian style but when i absolutely have to keep my legs together, i just.. do it. it takes practice and of course, effort. comfortability is something that comes naturally and you can't help that you feel that way.
i mean if keeping your legs together were that easy, why would there be a class/category for etiquette? =P

You're lucky you're not a receptionist like me, with a stupid sleek $4000 desk that has your legs out in the open for everyon epassing by to see....if I dont cross my legs 8 hours a day that can be very embarassing.Just do what you're doing, keep them closed when you are aware, cant help it when you're not.

Why don't you wear skirts or dresses for a little while? Maybe the possibility of people seeing certain areas of you might prompt you to keep your legs closed and be a little more conscious of your movements.

Well now that you are aware of the problem, you can become increasingly aware when you are doing that and when you realize it, you can practice NOT doing it? Make sense. But, hey, like they always say, "knowing it is half the battle." (Is that what they say?)
Well good luck!
