How Did We Become Fascinated With Bottoms? Like a lot of things, it comes from the Prime Imperative – Procreation.
I saw an X profile where she described herself as Pygophiliac – which is sexual arousal from seeing or touching the buttocks of another person. This led to my Goggling the word which turned up this from Wikipedia.
In humans, females generally have more round and voluptuous buttocks, caused by estrogen that encourages the body to store fat in the buttocks, hips, and thighs. Testosterone discourages fat storage in these areas. The buttocks in human females thus contain more adipose tissue than in males, especially after puberty. Evolutionary psychologists suggest that rounded buttocks may have evolved as a desirable trait because they provide a visual indication of the woman’s youth and fertility. They signal the presence of estrogen and the presence of sufficient fat stores for pregnancy and lactation. Additionally, the buttocks give an indication of the shape and size of the pelvis, which impacts reproductive capability. Since development and pronunciation of the buttocks begins at menarche and declines with age, full buttocks are also a symbol of youth.[1]
Biological anthropologist Helen B. Fisher said that “perhaps, the fleshy, rounded buttocks attracted males during rear-entry intercourse“.[3] In a 2017 study, using 3D models and eye-tracking technology, Fisher’s claim was tested and was shown that the slight thrusting out of a woman’s back influences how attractive others perceive her to be and captures the gaze of both men and women.[4][5] Bobbi S. Low et al. said that the female buttocks “evolved in the context of females competing for the attention and parental commitment of powerful resource-controlling males” as an “honest display of fat reserves” that could not be confused with another type of tissue, although Tim M. Caro rejected that as being a necessary conclusion, stating that female fatty deposits on the hips improve individual fitness of the female, regardless of sexual selection.[6]
Do ya feel like spanking a bottom? Perhaps procreating Doggy style?
Adm note: Readers have doubled in July. Comments have been almost non-existent this week. You guys are going to have to up your game.
Short answer….? Yes and YES! Spanking and procreation attempts being two of my favorite things (despite Julie Andrews not including these in HER version!)
Life-long admirer and apparent pygophiliac of the female bottom here. Nothing makes my palm itch more!
I really only comment when I have something to say about the topic as requested.
Perhaps the topic was of no interest. If I knew how I would have a Like and a Suxs button.
OK. I’ll add my quota filler comment
I’ve always appreciated a nice ass on a woman. Usually the first thing I notice. Yeah breasts are nice but you never know if they’re real or silicone.
Does anyone really notice a woman’s vagina first off. ? Don’t think so. Even when a woman’s naked , yeah, you might take note of the bush or non bush look but did you ever really stare at a vagina. Some of them look angry and frightening.
I’ll take a nice squeezable, spankable ass any day of the week.
Her bottom is the first thing I notice – if that is the side presented to me. If not, her face. Is there a smile? Can I get her to smile?
How her vagina looks is of no interest to me. Dicks and vaginas are not sexy. But put them together and it can be magic.

So much I can’t explain. Fundamental questions unanswered.
But as I was nearing puberty, an older friend was talking about a girl named Abby who had recently developed breasts. Even then I knew I was more interested in points south, though I thought maybe I was weird.
A few years later, I’d had two furtive trips to third base so I was vaguely but only vaguely familiar with the female scent. Then one day I was getting books from my locker and was overwhelmed by a powerful aroma. I turned to see Ann M., whom I knew but not well. My brain wasn’t sure if I liked the smell or not, but my penis sure did. I was perplexed, and still am, that others around did not notice the musky aroma as I did.
My nose is less sensitive than yours. You may have an ultra-sensitive olfactory system. And not to be discounted is that you caused her musky scent.
There was some scientific research done here in the UK, where it was found that a male’s attraction to the natural smell of a female was in proportion to the diversity of their DNA profile. Basically, we are attracted to the smell of women who offer greatest genetic diversity. Rosco could have genuinely found Ann M’s scent stronger while the other males around them did not notice.
Thanks Peter, I’ve wondered about that for fifty years as well as Bogey’s thought I might have contributed to it. I noticed it many times thereafter.
I probably would have asked her out but she had a boyfriend who was a nice guy – they were both a year younger.
It’s hard to explain, but there is just something about a well formed bottom that is hard to resist!
It could be 300,000 years of evolution as the article discusses, The shape indicates she she has a good probability of birthing live offspring. Oh, you just want to fondle and spank it. Nevermind.
Having combined a lifelong appreciation of the female buttocks, as well as spanked a good many, I wholly concur about the attraction of those complex curves.
There are so many unspanked and underspanked females, we need to do a better job
thank you for the research here. I might just add all emotional responses are unconscious, and or either the motion kicked off by a stimulus that may be learned or, most likely in this case, the Reptilian, brain or instincts,
you don’t have to talk guys into wanting to fondle or stare at. A woman’s derriere.

And they delight in the attention they get and love to show it off – to the right man.
Interesting post at the age of 62 still another learning point to the females.
So if poll between Ass or breast (males)
Ass or bugle(females) which attracts the eyes first it would be interesting numbers,
Naturist answer would be different?
It’s a mixed bag. Preference depends on ethnicity. No clear winner, a few more prefer breasts. But what size breasts? Again it depends on ethnicity. Ask Duck, Duck, Go What do men look at more ass or tits?
