Oh yeah and 1 last note. Like I mean if I see a hot oor cute guy I can just stare at his butt all day. Because it looks so damn good. Yeah I’m a teenager but I would really like some professional or just flat out opinions and how you feel about this. ---

I suspect that **Kunimitsu** is expressing admiration for the drawing which appeared with the Feb. 18, 2000 column: [http://www.straightdope.com/art/2000/000218.gif](http://www.straightdope.com/art/2000/000218.gif) ---

Could it be as simple as an appreciation of symmetry and sweeping, curving lines? ---

Hm. Staring at it all day… Um. Could it be something beyond a simple aesthetic appreciation, Kunimitsu? Fortunately, there are a good many sites online which deal with that subject. ---

Though this is a topic near and dear to my heart, I’m movin’ it to MPSIMS. Unfortunately Cecil hasn’t explored this topic in his column yet. Jill
