Teknojunkee Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Actually I was told by a Doctor that it can also be a sign of Sexual Frustration. Thats my excuse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breaksny Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 That's what I was gonna say. I dunno about for women, but that's why I don't like seeing other guys doing it. It makes me think I'm sitting next to a horny guy, not something I particularly enjoy seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeg Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 I do that, but I think its because i'm always listening to music, and when i'm not, i'm listening to music in my head...Yeah... sanity isn't one of my stronger traits... :goofy: (Your check is in the mail for the royalties, eric) :goofy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clubmouse Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Freud says its a sign of sexual frustration that should be released through masturbation, release through sex will not satisfy the leg.....true stuff, read it in Freud's Three essays on the theory of Sexuality...good reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shugabooga Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 i don't think it's a sign of relaxation, that's for sure. i dated somebody who did it, and regardless of what it meant to him, it made him seem nervous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clubmouse Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 of course he's gonna be nervous, he's either thinking about masturbation, or his unconscious is through a repressed sexual need, coming from the id, when the id is not satisfied we experience anxiety i.e. nervous.... but of course, to freud, everything was about sex and aggression....this is great, i have a personality psychology test today, and this is a great study aid.... :D -_-MiKeY-_- :D : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennEfer Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 I shake my leg sometimes... not out of sexual frustration... but usually becuase I have consumed massive amounts of caffine and am stuck sitting in lecture. Sitting still on a caffine buzz is virtually impossible, therefore, the leg will shake. I don't think Freud had anything to say about that though.

chula22 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Thats so weird. I was reading that post and shaking my leg. i think for me its just habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tastyt Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 It's not just a nervous habit, it also has to do with your metabolism... people with high metabolisms fidget all the time.As far as the sexual frustration theory goes... I don't know about that... I mean, I don't shake my leg around... maybe I should start... do you think it would help any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
