Firstly apologies for creating a new thread but I have to announce that after being asked by numerous men to have webcam sex, something I will not do now I'm in a relationship - I would not live up to their expectation! People have been messaging me saying theyd love to see my legs wide open playing for them. But I play with my legs close together and not wide! (Especially for clitoral play) Another example of men's minds being shaped by porn. Sigh. Unless I'm in the minority and everyone fingers with legs in the air. Got me thinking #midnightmusings what's everyone's thoughts?
I do masturbate with my legs open (flexion in my legs and outward rotation), I feel I can touch more sensitive spots this way. I also tend to take that position when my partner is going down on me. It is a position that helps me to climax.
I only ever masturbate lay in the bath with the shower on, so not much leg room. laying spread eagle would seem weird to me, but then i've never masturbated anywhere else, so maybe in reality it would be rather more natural.
I do spread my legs. I hadn't thought about it but when I try to push pants down to mid thigh for a solo quickie I always end up frustrated and kicking them off so that I can open my legs. Sometimes I dig my heels in too, oh and my hips rise when it's going well.
The better half has her legs apart when she plays she prefers long strokes and likes her lips pulled wide open. When I give her oral her legs are much wider apart and she bends her knees and pulls them up really opening up .
I find it hard to orgasm if my legs arnt straight 
So yeah I do find it difficult when I'm having skype sex with the OH to give him a good veiw whilst still getting the most out of what im doing. Most mortifingy he missed me squirting when I was playing with a toy because I couldnt get a good angle for him to watch while my legs were together and its his biggest thing at the moment to see me squirt! (Still yet to happen - nerves).
You may be in the minority, but I'm right there with you. Legs fully closed and straight/crossed is my go to solo play position, if insertion is involved then legs bent at the knee and spread only a little, enough to get my arms through to control the toy basically. I don't even spread wide enough for my OH to get his head between them for oral, to put into context what I mean by only a little. I actually end up putting my legs together and crushing his head in that scenario haha!
If I'm giving a show for my OH I would do it legs spread so he can see, but it never reults in me orgasming. Mostly because we move on to other play but also because I don't entirely feel I could orgasm in that position, it's something I do for his benefit not mine and I do find it distracting for lack of a better term. Although I was talking to him about this last night actually and sort of fessed up that I don't and never have masturbated like that, after describing my natural position he reckons the legs closed masturbation would be just as hot to watch because it's a bit more mysterious, leaves a bit more to the imagination. It's quite cheeky and teasy compared to the full leg spread. So maybe we shouldn't feel like we wouldn't give a good show in the legs closed position after all! :)
Well, it depends on what I'm doing ......if solo play with a dildo I tend to be on my back but if I'm using a small bullet vibe or fingers then I actually find it easier to climax if I'm in an upright position with legs closed as much as possible.
If I'm masturbating with a dildo or clit play then I tend to be on my back, legs open, knees bent up. If I'm playing solo anally then I'm usually on my side, legs together and knees pulled up.
If I'm using my wand then quite often I lay on my front with it tucked under me against my clit. My legs are usually c!osed in this position as I can get more accurate pressure x
I also keep my legs closed when I'm alone. It makes it alot easier to come. If I do it in front of my OH, my legs are more open, but it is not as nice as when I do it by myself.
So this is interesting. This us the first time i have thought about it. Solo play I tend to start on my back legs open but often end face down legs closer together.
If I'm masturbating with a vibrator on my clit then I am on my back with my legs straight, tensed and slightly open, if I am not getting anywhere then I turn over onto my front to get more pressure.
If I'm masterbating my OH she will be on her back, legs open, knees bent. However as she orgasims she tends to straighten her legs, close them and raise her hips, which can make things difficult to keep my fingers hitting the spot.
