To wonder when boobs went out and bums came in?

But for a lot of us a naked arse is still equivalent to getting your tits out - it’s hard to change your hardwiring from what was seen as normal vs too sexual for public display when you grew up. So I can’t help thinking “oh FFS put it away, no one wants to see that” when women wander around in thong bikinis among the kids at the pool (different from lying on a sun lounger in a thong or topless).

Although obviously it’s not true that ‘no one’ wants to see it, I expect a lot of blokes are quite happy.

Maybe topless is not popular on the beach but I see far more young women wearing revealing tops without bras these days which also seems to be a trend.

Maybe due to the popularity in intimate waxing too.

Yes this. It used to be a major faux pas to have a “big bum”- I distinctly recall the “does my bum look big in this” shite of the 90/00s. The Kardashians made it fashionable and lots of women are having injections to make it bigger which is pretty nuts really.

I think it’s going out again now though and very skinny is back in thanks to ozempic.

Agree this has happened in my lifetime. Maybe also related to the resistance to only one type of body being seen as desirable in the media. Thin white women with big boobs. Other cultures celebrate the bum more! It might be quite healthy- all sorts of shapes being appreciated.

is it really. First I've heard

Only acceptable to who?

How did we get to the position of ignorant people on social media dictating to others what they should and shouldn't do and what they should and shouldn't think?

Why does anyone actually watch these influencers or give a damn what they say?
It would be laughable if it weren't so sinister.

Rise in porn/anal sex.

Agree with others re the Kardashians.

Have to agree with this though! Luckily I’ve not come across it.

Kardashian effect. Which is good because it has meant that the look popular in the 00s (stick thin with stuck on boobs) is out of favour. We live in an era of everyone wanting an athletic shape and going to the gym.

Topless sunbathing is extremely passé.

I don’t like seeing someone’s bare backside. I’m old enough to remember when small bums were desirable.

What? 😂

I don’t understand why people wear them, they are unflattering even on the perkiest bum.

Gawd knows..Maybe it's got something to do with all.the anal sex that's so common .

Not only uncovered but massive. The bigger the better. With styles like the horrible scrunch bum leggings designed to make them look bigger.
As a teen of the does my bum look big in this era, I am jaw dropped by the arse sizes.
And they aren't big and well exercised and firm, they are big and cellulity and jiggly with fat.

I have lost a load of weight and unlike when I was younger, I have entirely lost my ass. I could not be a less fashionable shape! You can't win.

Thought the same thing the other day

Boobs are out, bums are in

Kardashians, I prefer it as I don’t really like seeing women topless think it’s definitely far more “naked” imo

I find them obscene.

The kardashians made big bums popular, even though their’s are fake !

Heard some influencer the other day refer to your standard bikini bottoms as “giant nanna pants”! Apparently the ones that expose the butt cheeks are the only acceptable ones now.

I think it is only in the last 20 years that pert well exercised bums have been fashionable. Before that iy was desirable to have a small bum. Hence the expression ‘ does my bum look big in this?’ We just don’t seem to say it any more.

Well a lot of women do seem to be getting implants removed and thong bikinis and bum scrunch leggings on so maybe you’re onto something!

I’ve noticed this for some years
now. Very rarely see topless but lots of cheeky bums in Europe. Topless looks more naked and sexual, bare bottoms look more natural somehow.
