NSFW What is it that we find so attractive in a nice ass?

Asked by Adirondackwannabe (36713points) April 9th, 2010

I like a nice butt. What the heck is it that attracts us to other people’s asses? It’s not what you talk to (although some people talk out of it), it’s what spends most of it’s time stuck in a chair, and yet look where most couples free hand rests. Why is that? Is there a scientific reason we are attracted to the butt? Does a nice butt signify fertility in women? How about in men? What does a nice mans butt signify to women?

I determine how attractive an ass is by it’s squeezability factor. Not enough, no good. Way too much, not good. Somewhere right in the middle, is a niiice ass. Here is a nice ass picture, it was one of the first images I turned up on google.

Nothing like a nice mom tattoo to make me think my mom.

Where to start…

I think it is the same thing that makes ripe fruit attractive; round, meaty, soft but not too soft, succulent.

I honestly don’t know myself. It’s a combination of roundness, bigness and softness. I think a woman with a decent backside accompanied with large hips represents a healthy looking woman of pinnacle femininity. There are some women with shapes that can be compared to men, but when a woman has a certain body shape, you just know that’s a woman.

A nice ass means thong panties…I love thong panties. And when my hands are resting there I am checking for thong pantie lines…just making sure! ;)

@lucillelucillelucille I’m good, very very good.
@RandomMrdan Nice site. Yes guys, I had to go and look. It’s friday, someone had to ask an ass question.

i think it has to do with our primal instinct. Most of the animal kingdom mounts the female from the rear during mating season. So we tend to look at the rear of woman. Totally guessing on this, but it makes sense.

@willbrawn Lol…Yeah it does…...

What @Blackberry said. Booty booty booty booty rockin everywhere!

Captain_Fantasy's avatar

The shape is pleasing.
Maybe it’s the close proximity to the naughty bits we like.

@willbrawn Primal or primary?

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

@willbrawn probably has it right. I’m a contrarian, prefer slender and firm.

I like a nice spankable bum myself not too tight & not too large! Just so long as fits across my knee! ;-)

Women only of course….!

DarkScribe's avatar

For me it is all about the owner of the “ass”.

Neizvestnaya's avatar

If I like the person then I’ll look more than once at their bum. I like firm booty and one I can tap my fingers on while watching a movie in bed. It’s got to have a particular spring back to it and while the booty bod is on it’s side, I’ve got to be able to cup a bun in my palm as I snuggle up to sleep.

I recently read an article somewhere that made the same claim @willbrawn just quip’d above… and extended the concept further as to why guys like women’s cleavage so much… because, it kinda looks like a butt.

The theory then is that a plunging neckline basically speaks to a guy’s subconscious and literally says, “Hey hon, come get some.”

this is just a little speculation, but it is our asses that help us quite a bit to walk upright. so there could even be some “ass craving” built in to us as part of the pick a healthy mate process.

i have actually asked my self this very question quite a bit over the years, and for me personally i think i like them so much because they are quite soft compared to other parts of the body, and also because what they reveal when one bends over. (quite a fan of doggy style)

I honestly dont know…..... but they are ace!

Blackberry's avatar

Man this thread is making me think about female asses now…..this sucks I have homework to do :(

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@Blackberry Lots and lots of personal research.

stranger_in_a_strange_land's avatar

I like @Neizvestnaya s answer. The person first, then physical attributes.

Sophief's avatar

lacr0sseluv0r's avatar

JeffVader's avatar

I remember hearing this idea put forward by a developmental psychologist that said that men like arses so much as they remind us of womens breasts…... personally, Im not so sure he wasnt just smoking crack!
