Im 15 and cannot support an older woman on my lap! Last summer I went to stay with my cousins and we went on tours together. There I met a lot of new people and started to hang out with this older girl, she is 19. On the bus she sat on my lap while playing truth and dare and my legs hurt like hell, my expression made her get off, she sat down again and it hurt. Later we talked about this and she sat down gently again and I was feeling as if I'll pass out. Is this normal? Im skinny 5ft 8 and weigh 62kg, she is 5ft 6 and weighs 58kg. Afterwards I have asked countless older women to sit on my lap and every time my legs go numb in 2 minutes and I beg them to get up. What can be the problem here? Any suggestions are welcome.

I am 70 yrs old, a widower, and have had some women in the past, sit on my lap. It really gets uncomfortable after a little. I don't think there is anything wrong with you. Why are you wanting older women to sit on your lap? You can't have a good time without that? I do wish you the best, and don't worry about it. Your skinny legs will not support the weight.

For now you are young and skinny but you probably going to grow more over the next few years. Is it a big deal you have female sitting in your lap? Shouldn't be.

You are more than likely normal... you are only 15, you are 5'8" and as you say skinny, chances are your bones and muscles are still trying to catch up with the tremendous growing you have been doing in recent years. You might want to try some leg strengthening exercises, getting more mass on your legs should help support everything including the extra weight of another person... However, if you are really concerned about this go and talk to a doctor.
