Why do we find thighs so alluring? Why do things so simplistic in nature and aesthetic, yet so important to the human function, become so sexually pleasing to the eyes? It’s an odd thing. Our instincts help us thrive on our natural resources; they keep us alive through our need to survive. Yet, part of human instinct, in some males and females alike, is the vast interest and love for thighs. Whether it is through the art of animated television shows, Japanese anime, modern fashion, professional models, advertisements, or nearly any other medium of entertainment and communication, thighs show up in everything. We rest our hands on our significant others thighs as a sign of connection and endearment, and quite possibly because the skin is satisfying to the touch. It is calming to some, exciting to others. Thighs bring us all together in one way or another. They’re part of the human experience. And that, to me, is beautiful.
