The Obsession behind the BEHIND ;)

What’s driving the current global obsession with Booty,Arsenal ,Ikebe, bakassi,butt, नितंब, culo, matako, طيز , patootie, 屁股 and whoopee cakes?… These news flashes and more in this week’s Sex in the Press.

In recent years, booty – a strongly-curved bum – has bounced far beyond its traditional strongholds of hip-hop videos and communities in Africa and Latin America.

'Butts' have taken over 'breasts' as common search term. Butt implants are currently the mostly quickly growing form of plastic surgery worldwide. International fashion designers are developing bum-enhancing jeans. Electronic music companies now sell devices that can sample twerking – the shaking of a strongly-curved bums – and turn these movements into beats, to inspire more twerking. 

Is this a sign of globalisation? Or is the world becoming less divided into penises and vaginas, and instead, more united by what we all have: a sitting cushion

The Dog Effect???

Perhaps an answer lies with the question: ‘Why do dogs like to smell butts so much?’.

A dog smells another dog’s butt to get the gossip on another dog’s mood, eating patterns and love life. It’s basically social media but then via chemicals instead of news feeds. And chemical communication is found throughout the animal kingdom – including with humans.

So is the ass just trying to tell us something?

Unfortunately, humans lack a couple of things that dogs have: chemical-secreting anal sacs and a secondary olfactory system that is able to bypass the smell of poop.

So we must sniff deeper for an explanation behind the trending of culo.

BUTT FOR BRAINS

“Researchers have discovered that the development of babies' brains depends on fat supplies that are located in their moms' posteriors and thighs, and the amount stored there might directly impact a kid's intelligence, according to ‘Curvy women can make smarter kids, study suggests’.

So perhaps “men might be attracted to curvier women because there's a chance of them having smarter kids,” a reproductive scientist suggests.

A previous study found that when men are hungry, they show a slight preference for larger women – perhaps because it suggests that such women have better access to food. Another study found that admiring a curvy women triggers the part of the brain associated with drugs and alcohol.

So is our thirst for ikebe simply a hard-wired addiction?

A BUBBLE OF EVOLUTION?

“The reason we're so attracted to serious curves goes all the way back to our hunter-gatherer ancestors. You see, a woman having a back that curves approximately 45 degrees above the top of her butt means she would have had an evolutionary advantage in pre-civilized society,” according to Turkish researchers who suggest that a big butt helps pregnant women maintain a better centre of gravity. They are then able to forage longer into pregnancy without risking spinal injury.

An appealing idea. But like many appealing ideas pitched in the name of evolutionary biology: bullsh*t. We simply don’t know enough about our ancestors to make such conclusions. As one sceptical scientist points out: increased foraging could also increase one’s chance at being eaten by a sabre-toothed tiger.

What ever the case, am of the opinion that humans will still move to another next big thing in vogue....Just waiting ;)
