  Intestinal posture - if you're cross-legged, you're compressing your intestinal tract at your lower back and interfering with the passage of faecal matter. Eating sat upright, or kneeling prevents this.

  • or you could sit in a chair

    you mean 'eating sat upright'?– detritus2/2

  Do you kneel or cross your legs when you receive a facial?

  in formal situations in japan, both sexes must kneel, but in informal settings it is ok for men to sit cross-legged. i suppose if you do it all your life it's not so uncomfortable, they do have cushions you know, but if one is not accustomed to kneeling for long periods of time the legs tend to go numb rather quickly

  • so the only answer is to sit on a pillow?– Llyod

  I actually suck at sitting cross-legged. I can do it the one way but not the other, and I have weak knees anyway. Believe it or not, I'm more comfortable kneeling and then changing my position every now and then, especially sitting down with my knees leaning towards the left and my feet off to the right. If that makes any sense. I just hate sitting on the floor in general (bad back too).

  • In Hindu temples both sexes are supposed to sit down on the floor for long periods, but the position isn't a big deal.– Jaline

  Lloyd I'd say it's time to stop working on those biceps and other useless gym muscles and work on some actual functional strength - you know, so you can do normal shit like kneel and not have it hurt.
