open one's legs
Widen lower limbs
To open one's legs is to spread them apart—literally for exercise, medical examination, or simply sitting.
The phrase commonly carries sexual connotations, suggesting readiness for intercourse: She doesn't just open her legs for anyone.
It can be used disparagingly to imply promiscuity.
