          Sein = his but why there's an -e in the ending?

            The leg (Das Beine) is Neutrum, but "The legs" is plural, so we need to use "seine" in this case.

            There are also seinen, seinem, seines and seiner http://longua.org/possessivartikel.sein.php

                Can you have sexy legs in German like Tina Turner. She had her legs insured.

                  WHY can't HER legs be long? Only men have long legs in this exercise?

                    It would be "Ihre Beine", not "Seine Beine..."

                        Can't it mean "Your legs are long" with the formal "you"?

                          It would've been ihre, not seine

                            Why "he has long lags" is not acceptable?

                              Weil das heißen würde/Because that would mean: Er hat lange Beine. :-)

                                Und weil "Beine" "legs" heißt, nicht "lags".
