    I never thought it was supposed to be a challenging pose. Thought it was just a horny one.

      It’s pretty much a standing pancake stretch, a common stretch for people working on flexibility in their splits and straddles. I was unaware it’s seen as a horny pose lol. It’s pretty intense in your hamstrings and adductors. Definitely possible to train past 30, but requires starting light and doing it consistently over many months.
