Maybe there is more than one person in those pants? I mean, they would also have to be special, many-legged pants (because 2 legs per pantleg do not "fit perfectly" make), but better shared pants than individuals with five legs.
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

In a way, I know what she's aiming for...the pants fit Michael perfectly, and accentuate his muscular legs. But it's like she's off-key, like all the time, it's weird.(and I realize that last sentence doesn't actually argue my linguistic mastery, except maybe to Angela Chase.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
It's an easy fix, really. Not "every muscled thigh" but "each muscled thigh." That would make it slightly purple prose, but not leave the reader with the impression that you have to count the thighs.

Maybe she keeps losing count of the thighs because they're so gosh darned perfect.

I hate it when that happens.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
From what I recall, Michael is a fucking tripod, so perhaps therein lies the confusion.

Vonnie! For shame! Have you forgotten anatomy 101? Penii are not firmly muscled. They are spongey tissue and lots of blood vessels.

And they don't have thighs. I hope.

I have a feeling that the author of the Golf Cart Epic is not overly concerned with anatomical accuracy.
Plus, I burned my anatomy books in glee after I was done with them. (OK, not really. I sold them for booze money.)
And they don't have thighs. I hope.
I don't know. I recall Michael's member in this particular story was capable of some logic-defying miraculous feats. It could very well have a thigh. Thighs, even.
