To wonder when boobs went out and bums came in?

[PrincessOfPreschool]

Just come back from a beach holiday in Italy and both Dsis and I commented on lack of topless women. In 11 days I didn't see one! (Tbf, I wasn't scouring the sun loungers on the beach but not noticing even one seems odd). In the 80s and 90s when I was a teen/ young woman there were loads of topless women on European beaches. However, I did notice a huge number of thong bikinis, or the ones that really go up your bum and show off bum cheeks (even very young girls - preteens). Almost everyone wore one.

What's caused this change? Just fashion changes? Why has it changed? Sis thought maybe greater US influence on Europe?

Thigh gaps are still very much in. Just with a big bum too. Which I’m sure you can imagine is a difficult combo to have.

True, but having a small butt and legs hasn’t stopped women from being considered attractive… it’s not like having small breasts!

There have been men who liked big bums way before the internet made porn widely available.

This. It's so ironic, having a big bum was the last thing you wanted once upon a time.

Good grief, some of these comments are bonkers, it’s nothing to do with porn and anal sex good grief, it’s just fashion and trends, no one wants to appear topless in someone’s Tik tok, strong is in, strong thighs , glutes etc,

strong will probably stay in as slim is achievable with meds, so it will be slim, toned, fit,

Well among eurocentric and Asian countries. Big bums were celebrated in Latin America, the Caribbean, much of Africa…

@daisydaisydais128 yes that's true. I think men are almost hard-wired to look at womens bums..All I'm saying is there is probably more bums on show these days because of porn.. I don't know, perhaps using. " because" isn't right. I dunno. It just seems to go together

So?

Yes… and also hundreds of year ago, I think the Renaissance era, in Europe.

That was just plump. All over. As in rubenesque.

Yes but a pear-shaped kind of plump, heavier in the hips than in the torso.
