I've done a number of section hikes over the years and I've found that after
a few high-mile days I frequently develop uncomfortable friction rashes
where my thighs rub together (undoubtedly a result of having massive and
manly muscular legs).

Personally I'm a big fan of wearing underwear that has legs that extend down
the thighs, like Under Armour offers here:

This underwear has totally solved all of my chafing problems.
Other people have gotten good results with various body lubricants, or with
extreme ventilation (hiking kilts, anyone?).
