It is light between your legs...

Those poor girls. When boys talk about 'gap' and 'what's between your thighs' and even 'seeing the light' I do not believe they're talking about this...

You have to be careful. Twins sometimes have a habit of rubbing each other the wrong way... 😄

Most of the pics I can find don't have knees together, just ankles?

Not only does the world have a problem objectifying women with all sorts of bad body images (think scrawny and starve and bulimic) but now some ass is glorifying skinny legs?

Please speak up that this is trash whenever you see it.

Actually I notice thigh gap and consider someone who's thighs rub together to be overweight. Partly this is because I do graphic and comic art and it is something.you need to be conscious of when drawing characters -- no thigh gap is an indication of a chubby character. If you want an example, look at the silhouette girls in the credits of the mature cartoon Archer, they have obvious/accentuated thigh gap.

I'm not saying it is good or bad, but I definitely know what it is and definitely notice it.

What in the HELL ever happened to VOLUPTUOUS? You know if they have legs that are that skinny that their tits are either nonexistent or installed by a plastic surgeon.

They sure as hell ain't no Marilyn Monroe...

if you want some photos try TUMBLR

http://ilovethegap.tumblr.com/

they have everything

the tumblr in question has changed abit but before it was devoted to only the gap between the legs, and some have a very big gap

another one I like is slim girls small titts,

before you all go off and say there is nothing there, remeber alot of girls are not perfect but in the eyes of some of us they are beautiful, and just as well before they all go and get extra large boob jobs done.

http://slimwomensmalltits.tumblr.com/

and last but not least ,

http://tightandsmallballs.tumblr.com/

or

http://emptyscrotum.tumblr.com/

TUMBLR has everybody tastes covered, just as well we are all different,

life would be boring if we were all the same.

stay safe...rgds
