I couldn't resist the chance for some alliteration.

With all the posts here about this topic, I thought I'd pose a question to all you backside experts, models and photographers alike. It seems to me that the current fascination with big butts has just about plateaued. Where else can it go from here? The market is already inundated with zaftig models showing off their derrières, and my guess is that most of them are barely breaking even. (The market can only sustain so many Buffies and Melyssa Fords at one time.) The envelope has been pushed just about as far as it can without becoming downright obscene (what's beyond the thong except the crack of someone's ass).

So the question is, given that historically speaking a loosening on sexual mores in our society rarely reverses itself (e.g., once the hem of the skirt goes up, it rarely comes back down), what's to become of this obsession with backsides? Will it:

A) Plateau sometime in the very near future with the current state of affairs being the status quo for the next five years or so?

B) Will it get worse, with ever more risque websites featuring booty models popping up on the internet and even more successful Buffie the Bodies to come? or

C) Will it actually reverse and return to where it was in the late nineties, when a big booty in a thong was still fairly uncommon to behold in a nationwide magazine or even on the internet.

BB prognosticators, weigh in...

As an ass model..let me say...

All praises to the booty.  It has been around for years and it ain't goin' back under a hoop skirt anytime soon.

i am kinda glad that asses of all sizes is being recognized..being a women who was very self concious about my ass-et, I thought myself as disgusting and revolting because soo many people wanted the lil cutie booty, but Since big butts and cruvacious bodies are now being praised I feel more comfortable with exposing myself and also seeing that a lot of men, white, spanish, black what have you not, are now opening up to liking big booties, you still have the few that prefer the lil cutie booties, but that aint cushing for the pushin smile...

I just hope a lot of females dont all run out to become the buffies, or the ki toys, like i say everything aint for everyone :smile..

All praise to curvacious bodies, and bigg booties smile..BIg not unaturally HUGE smile

My personal preference is to see a woman of proportion...if she's a skinny minny with big boobies it's not attractive, likewise, if she's a large girl with a flat ass, it's not attractive.
I like the balanced look, whether it's on a buckohfive chick, or a whole heapin helpin o'woman chick...balance.

I've never understood the women who are sooooooo tiny and get big ole boobs. I'd totally get a nboob job, but I'd get one in proportion to my frame (off subject there)

Have any of y'all ever seen JLo in person? Like out in the day to day?

She's not got much by way of boobs, but yeah, her butt is (for the rest of her body) HUGE irl. I really mean it's big, and it's *almost* at the unbalanced proportion...

i mean when you hang around women who are skinny or have those lil booties you kinda start to feel inferior to them and start to think that YOUR not normal because of your size...like a friend that i have ..i dont hang around her too much like that any more because she says nothing is wrong with my body, but when she sees a girl with a booty like mine, shes like ewww look at her ass...and its soo big it looks gross...and im like HELLO...I have a big booty too...i mean I got over it, but before when I was trying to get over myself....it hurt really bad to feel different from everyone who is small or averaged sized

YEA pics...i wanna see...but i mean I have been working out to tighten up and I am proud of myself because the dimples and stuff I had on my body in the booty area are disappearing...but you know what I do have to say that I really do appreciate African American men or men of ethnicity because...no matter how big a booty is and how many stretch marks a women has from her ass and dimples she has...That man will still love you for your body and doesnt see any flaws, all they see is that big round ass....SO THANK YOU TO THE FEW GUYS OUT THERE WHO LOVES BIG BOOTIES NO MATTER WHAT smile>>>show the pics

Hey there everyone...
My name is Amanda and i have an ASS!!! Having that said...it is important for everyone to know that i have done everything to keep this THING in control. When it's in the genes...there's not much you can do.
I'll admit it seems like every photographer that i meet wants some shots of my back side....it gets annoying. I already have plenty of them in my port as you can see smile
But the facination with the behind is deffinitly not going anywhere.

2) Will it get worse, with ever more risque websites featuring booty models popping up on the internet and even more successful Buffie the Bodies to come? More magazines  are pushing for implied and backshots, I'm proud to say the flood gates have been opened weeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3) Will it actually reverse and return to where it was in the late nineties, when a big booty in a thong was still fairly uncommon to behold in a nationwide magazine or even on the internet. With MsNewbooty.com I highly doubt it big_smile

sir mix a lot rapped about BIG BUTTS in the early 90's. It is something that men (primarily black men) Love and Adore and that isnt going anywhere. The love for a nice ass is just as common as the love for a nice "rack" or nice legs.

i love and appreciate the power of the African bootay my self and I write about its mysticism, beauty and power in various genres...however...when does the admiration/adoration become exploitation?

what makes one photo of a bootay an artistic exercise and another raunchy? then again, shit aint nothin' wrong with raunchy

artistic...gentle rub and squeeeze

raunchy....grab and SPANK

Hi Capri Cherry (She is Ms. Jan in our National Calendar) The fact of the matter is Black Men as always preferered the (Azz)drum and our Caucasian brotha's prefer the rack so once we finally get Buffie or Christina Lex on the Cover of Maxim or SI & a White Model on the The Cover of Black Men's or King Magz we can finally kill this prejudice of tits over azz once and for all and unite.   All my White Girls submit more to the urban magz & my black girls shoot your pics off to FHM, because I like my big asses diverse big_smile

Well... I always hear that "big butt" argument, but nonetheless, different folks interpret differently what "big butt" really means.

If we are speaking about "applebottoms" and "thick girls", this following site may give everybody a nice little education on what qualifies really as an applebottom and what is and what is not "thick" (link repost!) Warning: Contains adult oriented material! http://www.assmatrix.com

It even gives you tricks on how to satisfy a "big" women. wink

But, for me, simple Euro male (who loves black women, besides all other ethnicities!) the following is pretty much as sexy and fleshy as it comes... big_smile
"Sizes" can be a tad "bigger" or a smaller than that, but the shape is important.

Scientists found a correlation between the shape of the butt cheeks and cleavage for visual attraction btw.
