[NSFW] What's with the twerking craze?

Asked by ETpro (34605points) August 10th, 2013

I’m not complaining, mind you. I’m happy to see such a sexy and oft-maligned part of the human anatomy getting its fair share of attention. But the squeezes, twitches, works and twerks of twerking just get in the way of my admiration of a fine rear end. It’s like trying to zero in on a tiny target when the ground around it is flapping around faster than a hummingbird’s wings.

What sayest thou? Dost thou think that twerking art working?

It looks like the beginning of the end to me. First the Saints win the Super Bowl….and now this….

How do you know about this? The mind boggles as to what you must search for on youtube! ;-)

This is the ultimate twerking video/song: Lady – Twerk

I didn’t know it was possible, but watching it makes me feel even more gay :P

I have no idea. I find it repulsive.

Don’t know how the craze came about, but I find ’‘twerking’’ very unappealing. It looks like the ass is trying to throw up, I wonder if twerkers start doing that when they’re constipated or something.

Andressa Soares is the only person alive who can perform twerking and not look like an idiot doing it. I’m a fan though, so I’m probably just biased.

It sure isn’t working for me. Not in the least sensuous….

It’s disgusting. I was completely repulsed seeing Miley Cyrus do it in her “We Can’t Stop” video in those hideous white tights. Billy Ray must be so proud. Then again, she’s pretty repulsive no matter what she’s doing these days.

I don’t get any of these crazes. Planking, Gangnam Style, photo bombing, twerking. The next craze should be thinking, but that might be too difficult for some.

I never heard of it. And now I kind of wish I’d never seen of it.

Well, you’ve got gluteus maximus, medius and minimus back there. If you get them all working individually, voila! But, I’ve no idea how you’d begin to do that. It may be like wiggling your ears only it’s wiggling your rears.

Gibes a whole new meaning to “Shake your booty!”

Edit: “Gives”

… It’s like a butt siezure. O.O

Looks like a dawg trying to shake a stubborn stool out of it’s arse.

Dancing was much more sensual when Fred and Ginger were doing it.

filmfann's avatar

Fred and Ginger never did it…

Is that really considered dancing? It’s just shaking a fat ass!

janbb's avatar

Why is it called “twrking”? Any guesses?

janbb's avatar

Edit: twerking. I think my fingers are twerking today!

Load of disgusting hogwash is what it is!!!!!!

syz's avatar

Just another objectification of women’s body parts. To me, just as attractive as duck lips And every other sad fad from folks who have no self respect.

LornaLove's avatar

A butt like that needs its own filofax, little black book and social life.

@janbb There’s definitely that to be said for it.

@OneBadApple It’s certainly the beginning of some kind of end.

@Headhurts I make it my business to know lots of things, because I love when the mind boggles.

@DominicX I can see how it would work that way if you weren’t into what they are showing off to begin with. Is this better?

@ragingloli I am not repulsed, but neither am I attracted. It’s fine just as nature made it and moving with a gentle sway that is a natural feminine walk.

@Symbeline Well here you go then.

@zenvelo Precisely. It is the exact opposite of sensuous. It’s raw. It’s suggestive of crack induced sex. Sniffing poppers.

@livelaughlove21 Totally agreed. Thinking! Now why didn’t I think of that? Could it be because I just wasn’t thinking?

@Jeruba To be quite fair, nobody but you made you look. :-)

@Sunny2 I can’t wiggle my ears either. And I feel absolutely no loss over being unable to individually control any of the muscles involved in either skill.

@AshLeigh It really does, doesn’t it. It’s just not natural.

@ucme What a perfectly suited word picture.

@Seek_Kolinahr Oh amen.

@filmfann Yes, from what I have read and see studying for this question, it is quite the rage at dances.

@ucme Perfect. Proves your point.

@ragingloli I have never before felt so relieved that I am not sexually attracted to toothbrushes.

@janbb Best guess is a portmanteau of twitch and work or jerk. Then maybe it’s a work done by a twitching jerk.

@ZEPHYRA I’d just label it unappealing. But there’s no accounting for taste—or substantial lack thereof.

@syz To me, naturally full, bee-stung lips are luscious. Collagen injections to mimic them on thin-lipped people always seem to end up looking absurd.

@LornaLove Indeed.

@ETpro Hell yeah broski. you know you like her too :D

dabbler's avatar

Looks like a demonstration of skills… imagine that sort of motion combined with ‘riding St George’ position. I don’t find it attractive except with that sort of potential.
“gettin’ jiggy on it”

ETpro's avatar

@Symbeline Copy that!

@dabbler THe problem is that opening is tight enough to begin with. Deliberately flexing in those ways would hurt and be a real turnoff to anal sex. Even tossing her salad gets difficult when the salad bowl keeps jumping all over creation.
