The backside has always been popular. I mean, I like big butts and I cannot lie, Baby got back, pop it, whop it, drop it, back it up! There is one body part in particular that has taken the spotlight. The Commodores sang the dimensions “36–24–36” referring to their ideal woman in the song Brick House. The Kardashians make billions of dollars off of their surgical enhancements, JLO supported her career on her bootiful asset, and African and Black American culture designs musical rhythms to motivate its movement. It’s the booty, y’all! It’s the most popular cosmetic augmentation right now, and a fitness moneymaker.

As a matter of fact, Healthline.com estimates buttock augmentation surgery has increased by 252 percent between the years 2000 and 2015. We are talking butt lifts, implants, and fat enhancement with fat grafting. So why is it so popular? What makes us desire a larger or more pronounced bottom? Women often say, they use it to attract males. And men say it’s sexy, which leaves women around the world wanting to feel sexier with a shapely sweet peach. I, too, feel nervous about the infamous bikini season. But I choose to work my booty at home and in the gym to keep my shape.
