Why does males or females butt’s look so good??? It’s just like you would love to grab a guys butt during sex. Or hold a females butt. ---

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. ---

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. ---

Desmond Morris says: The tight male butt says powerful thrusting. And the generous female butt is a target. Some people don’t agree with Des on all things, though. * * * [The Legend Of PigeonMan](http://www.hotkey.net.au/~guanolad/pigeonman/) - **Shadow of the Pigeon** - Weirdo of the Night ---

Kunimitsu: What if they’re all hairy? A bunch of us were skinny dipping once at the resevoir and the girls were going on about how hairy Morgan’s ass was so I just had to find out. His ass feels like it’s wearing a fur coat. Is your ass furry? Mine’s not. ---

Well, your inability to completely formulate a coherent post in one attempt makes it fully clear that this issue is very powerful, and active in your mind. I gotta say I agree, and I like being treated like a piece of meat for a change. As for why…who gives a damn, why don’t you just back on over here… :rolleyes: (_|_) ---

## Kunimitsu, I’m not sure how to answer that. Personally, I definitely notice a guy’s tush. There’s just something about it…don’t know how to describe it. But, I notice more their personality and I tend to look at the whole package. Most guys of almost any size, have cute tushes to me, but there is always the exception to that. While I enjoy looking at their outline in jeans, say, it is a TOTAL turnoff to see their crack hanging out. YECHHHHH!!! Hey! I’m married, not dead! I can look!! 😉 You sing in my consciousness like a counterpoint to my life. L.L. ---

Dunno what it is, but sometimes, it’s just perfect. Example: where I used to work, there was a girl who worked next door whose name I never learned. She was, generally, pretty average looking. But, MAN, momma taught that girl to walk RIGHT. She wasn’t anything special coming toward ya, but ooooo, how she would walk away…even a female co-worker had to admit that her walk was just otherworldly. Something in the swivel of the hip. That reminds me, I must get my watch fixed… ---

Much as it cheeses me off (so to speak), the French defined this years ago: vive le difference. (Then they went on to more essential things, like wine, food and Jerry Lewis.) And yeah, yeah, the spelling and accent thingys are wrong even though NTG _told_ me how to do it. Don’t diss a cranky person in a second-week, Nyquil resistant cold from Hell who can’t focus, much less stay on topic. Whaaa…?? Oh. Yeah. Tushes. Honestly, I was gonna say all kinds of profound and somewhat literary stuff, about the flesh made dream and the earthy crying toward the sublime…and it could be the Nyquil but Dolly Parton cooing about cowboys in painted on jeans mated uneasily with the Song of Solomon… If I could just breathe (or sleep) there’d follow some blinding insight involving Camille Paglia (the female putz version of Desmond Morris), the Venus of Villendorf and the body-builder ads that NEVER show male buns… Freud. Fear. Foolishness. Basic lust. Talk among yourselves. I’m gonna try to breathe for a change. Salacious fantasies, if well expressed, are welcome for purely medicinal purposes. Veb (pop quiz: ever seen Arnie Schwarzengger’s buns? If not–why not?) ---

Well today I have skool, I guess that’s just more staring and admiring today for me. I still can’t explain why I stare at them and strip there jeans and boxers in my mind for pleasure just to see them. There’s these really hot guys and when they turn around or leave I’m just like Whoa those look so good. And no they have to be soft and not hairy of course. There’s this 1 guys butt I keep on thinking about, heh heh heh and he wears baggy jeans and his boxers are tight so I am so close to seeing it. This been an obssession ever since I can remember. Nope, I haven’t seen Arnold’s butt yet but have any of you seen Jean Cluade Van Damme’s?? Now that is like sooooo perfect. Ok well when I get back from skool I’ll give a report. See ya 🙂 ---
