Strong, thick thighs mean more stability to try new positions (like standing up), and they could also mean more stamina... which means sexier sexytime.

Having powerful thighs isn't just about looking fab in your favorite bikini; it also translates into the bedroom. And who doesn't love a boost in confidence when things get steamy? More muscle means you can go the distance, embrace your inner goddess and own those epic moves that lesser mortals might shy away from. Whether you're wrapping your legs around your partner in a passionate embrace or experimenting with angles that require endurance, your strong legs are your secret weapon. So, forget about the thigh gap and celebrate the hot, healthy body love that your amazing thighs bring to the table...or the bedroom.

/filters:quality(70)/content/eb/ec/t9r91l0s575fb260a0bf4243771075_600x689.jpg)
I saw this meme on Facebook and it's so true: if my thighs touch, I'm that much closer to being a mermaid, so who's the real winner here?
4. Cupcakes

Consuming fewer calories, while at the same time burning calories through exercise, may or may not give you a thigh gap. But that means deprivation, which means no cupcakes. And is a thigh gap really worth a lifetime without cupcakes? No.
5. A Medal
/filters:quality(70)/content/gj/m0/auk1qirj575fb53d71f10218188657_600x600.jpg)
I lost my thigh gap when I started running long distances, and I don't miss it. You know why? Because I have a rack full of medals from winning some of those races. Bye-bye thigh gap, hello bling.
***
Shifting focus from a gap to gains, my outlook transformed. Each medal I hang is more than metal; it's a tangible triumph, attained not by shrinking, but by expanding—my capabilities, my determination. What thigh gap awards you with pounding pavement, battling the elements, and outpacing rivals? None. So, while those medals clink together musically, they sing a song of victory and of a body celebrated for its strength, not its absence. Each time I glance at that display, I’m reminded: Strength is my new aesthetic, and each medal, a love note to the power in my legs.
6. Yo Mama

Your exercise and diet play only a small part in whether or not you'll ever have a thigh gap. The rest is heredity, the structure of your bones. Do you love your mama or gramma any less because they don't have a thigh gap, or any more because they do? Revel in the other good genes they've passed down, like your gorgeous boobs and thick hair.
7. Your Phone
/filters:quality(70)/content/fl/ec/oz9cr4s0575fb76edf55e368972888_500x500.jpg)
Admit it. You bring your phone in the bathroom with you. And chances are, like me, you'd had that heart-stopping close call when you've almost dropped your phone between your legs and into the toilet. No thigh gap means your phone landed safely in your lap. Whew!
See? All very important. What other things can you think of that are better than having a thigh gap?
Comments
lisalou: Well you got skinny shaming down to a T! 👌🏻ffs stop putting the girls down that naturally have a thigh gap it's not fair and why don't why talk about how unhealthy most of these models are in this article!
Ash: As for thigh-gap shaming, it said in the beginning that she has nothing wrong with having a thigh-gap. And it says nothing in the article that it's bad to have a thigh gap. The only person that can make you feel inferior is yourself.
Ellie1702: This is a shaming article
Kassy: Most do these models aren't unhealthy. I eat healthy and I workout 5/7 days a week but I still have larger thighs. I'm still plus size. I also like to mention the fact that she said she didn't find anything wrong with a thigh gap.
Liz: Thigh gap is better than all those things. Trying to fit-shame.
Ellie1702: Thigh gaps are natural some people who work out a lot don't have thigh gaps so it depends on your bone structure
Judy: I have thigh gap but it's because of the structure of my bones. Because of the thigh gap I have wide hips which I hate. I guess no one is perfect and we all want what we ca t hav
Splashhhh: This article is kinda messed up.
emzski: Love it my bf loves my thick thighs
Isabella: Well that was an interesting read... Lost me at no. 4 tho 😂 cupcakes, really?
