A Sex Culture Sea Change
Big booties take the lead
Last night, Youtube led me to a video with over 2 billion views. I clicked to check on what all the virality was about and found a catchy chord progression and beat accentuated by the usual curvy gyrating bodies and the customary sexually-charged lyrics.
Verse #3 brought the magic moment. On came a male rapper to ask “Can you make it clap no hands for me?”
Just in case you don’t understand this reference: Apparently, the measure of booty attractiveness is the ability of a woman to flex her booty muscles to actually make the two cheeks emit a clapping sound in so doing.
When I was young, the measure of a girl’s womanhood centered around her breast size almost exclusively. Boy! How times have changed.
Booties didn’t even enter a teenage boy’s consciousness. It was all about boobies. But now? Booty culture has taken over. Beyonce doesn’t sing “My body’s too busty for ya.” She sings “My body’s too bootylicious for ya.”
Ok! I’m not that shallow that a big, round, solid booty — nor a Playboyesque set of 36DD’s — would keep me in a relationship with a woman who didn’t fit me personally. I’m not that much of a size queen that either completely rules my sex world.
