Sometime ago I became interested in body language, including that practiced between the sexes. Like open and closed body postures. Folded arms are a closed body posture. Closed or open legs too. Open legs can be a sign of inviting sex (though I am in all cases referring here to fully clothed situations). Closed legs and tightly intertwined folded legs can be a sign of severe coyness or feeling vulnerable, in women.
What does it mean if a woman put her hands between her legs? In the cases I observed, the women put their hands high up in the upper thighs, not in a position covering the crotch, but between the thighs, almost touching the vulva area. Fingers pointing down. Legs were either intertwined or fairly close to each other but comfortably relaxed.
I have observed this in a female assistant, when I am in her office. The past week I observed it in another woman. Myself, she and another man were discussing something for about an hour. We sat in my office without any furniture between us, so she was "unprotected". She sat in this position virtually all the time. The other man has quite a domineering personality, but he is old (73). Both women are in their late 30ties, one married, one divorced.
My question is:
1. Are they instinctively "protecting" their genitals against male "intruders"?
Or, 2. "inviting" attention by pointing to it?
Or 3., nothing should be read into it?
Can anyone please tell me how to start a new thread on this forum?
Thanks
