suicideblonde 04-15-2003, 01:41 PM Didn't know if this should go here or under the sexual section, but when I saw the "bound or unbound" thread here I decided to post in this spot!
This may be more for the ladies, I am not sure though, none-the-less.....while walking the beach I have noticed that many woman in their 40's and beyond tend to lose their butts. I mean in their swiming suits, ithey truly look like they have droopy drawers! I have noticed too in catalogues, that pants and undies are being sold with fake buns! I mean what is with that! Along with those water bras (the ones that add a size) and air pump bras....isn't that false advertising??? BUT that is not why I wrote this thread. What I want to know is when does this happen?? Is it like your breasts but in reverse; that one morning you wake up and BAM you have no more tush??? How and why does it happen??? Is is genetic??? I still have my bubble butt, and wonder if that "gravitational pull" so to speak is just on the horizon; or becasue I bike and walk, will it stay the same??? Any comments regarding this strange phenonema would be greatly appreciated.
And I guess for the guys if anyone reads this, does that bother you that your woman may not be filled out like she once was???
Maria 04-15-2003, 02:33 PM Brazil must have been the first country to start plastic surgery for butts, because we are, after all, the country that worships the "Bumbum" as we tenderly call our butts...
With age we loose muscular tissue and as our buttocks consist mainly of muscle and fat, if there's too much fat and almost no muscles, it will sag as it happens with the breasts, and if there's not much fat, and the muscles are not in shape, well, nothing will fill your clothes at that level.
The best thing is to exercise. For those who are really bothered by the lack of a nice bumbum or by its sagging, and don't like to exercise, there's plastic surgery. We can have just liposuction and what we call liposculpture to put the fat where it should be, or we can go for a silicon implantation. In this case, silicon does not have the same consistency of the ones used for breast surgery, it is harder, and the results are very good.

larasteele 04-15-2003, 04:13 PM Forget where--believe it was Cosmo or Glamour, last month. The plastic surgery for butts doesn't tend to have great long term results. We sit on our butts, we lay...the behind gets a lot of pressure, and it tends to lose its' nice shape soon after surgery.
What, if anything, do you know of this, MariaLux? True or scare tactics?
Maria 04-15-2003, 04:20 PM I am sure it depends on the technique used, since I haven't heard anything like that in Brazil, surely the country where this kind of surgery is most done. I would say no problem for sitting, because the silicon is not put there where you sit, it's higher.
But this is just what I've heard and seen on some medical magazines.
larasteele 04-15-2003, 04:32 PM hmmmmm....yeah.
no contest there. I guess I need to reconsider my reading material!:o
Maria 04-15-2003, 04:45 PM They can be wrong, too, Lara! It's known to have happened! ;)
Polly 04-15-2003, 05:10 PM Suicideblonde, biking and walking ABSOLUTELY preserve the butt! Good for you! You will have a great butt well into your '80's if you keep up the good work. Bodies don't have to suck! They really don't. We don't have to become saggy, baggy and decrepid if we EXERCISE. Just get the sh!t moving, in any way possible. Did you know that if you walk for 10 minutes, 3 times a day, it benefits you as much as a 30 minute walk (as long as your heart rate rises to between 120 and 140 beats per minute)? You don't have to do it all at once. Just get MOVING!
I'm afraid I've been afflicted with a very serious condition called CCBS, otherwise known as "Cottage Cheese Butt Syndrome"! I haven't given up though. I've been walking briskly every day and been really faithful to my diet. I'm doing light (and I DO mean light) weight training 3 days a week. You'll never meet a person who hates exercise more than I do...I'd rather do ANYTHING else, including going to church with my parents or cleaning out the overflowing litter box, but I hate my flabby body even worse, so I really don't have much of a choice.
One of my best friends is a massage therapist, and she told me that the gluteous maximus (the butt) is the largest muscle in the body. As with everything else, if you don't use it, you lose it!
Oh, I'm all for plastic surgery too, but even surgeons will tell you that eventually the cellulite will reappear if you don't change your lifestyle to include healthy food and exercise.
Maria 04-15-2003, 05:26 PM Oh Polly you always make me laugh hard...my neighbours must think I am crazy, laughing out this loud and all alone at midnight!
Well, massage is indeed the best thing for cellulite! My best friend from the university times is an endocrinologist who decided to concentrate his studies on obesity. Of course soon he was having to deal with his patients'cellulite, too, and he started to send them for massages, the results are very good.
But you know that very slim women also have cellulite, even babies have it! :D
Walking and exercising and putting your men to massage you 10 minutes every evening is not that difficult is it?
If you don't have a man, no problem, we have machines for that! Oh, but you know that too!

Polly 04-15-2003, 05:37 PM You know, Robin loves butt massages (he's got a small, firm butt) so I always comply but I never even thought about asking him to massage mine. I'm going to do just that! Of course, there are consequences to pay after he touches my butt, but I guess I can handle it! :D
My friend did tell me, that if one goes for a therapeutic medical massage but declines to get their butt massaged (out of insecurity or feeling uncomfortable) they are really not getting the full benefit of the massage as the biggest muscle is being overlooked.
suicideblonde 04-16-2003, 05:57 AM as usual you cracked me up! So massage will help as well, eh? I know I am becoming weirdly obsessed with this for some reason, for the first thing I do in the morning is to check out the ole bum to make sure nothing has fallen during the night! That is what spring break is doing to me I guess.... too much beach and too much time on my hands to THINK!!! Does anyone have help for THAT????:p
eloise 04-16-2003, 06:43 AM Squats are also very good for the butt, 40 or so every other day will make quite a difference. There is also a machine called Butt Blaster which is especially designed to exercise that muscle. I read about in an interview with Pamela Anderson, she swears by it and would not mind to have one such machine in every room of her house. BTW, she says that most guys she knows need some butt toning too.
I am glad that big round butts are again popular, thanks to Kylie and J-Lo, since I have one myself. MariaLux, do you think that J-Lo's butt is enhanced? It seems so to me, judging from the video where she lies on her belly in a swimming suit and Ben Affleck is massaging her. Her butt sticks too much high up when she lies down, exactly the way silicon breasts stick up when you are in horizontal position.

I have no idea Eloise, you know, Latin as well as African women have "larger" butts (especially the profile).... but I saw a horrible picture of her cellulite on a English magazine last week when I was at the Bristol Airport, coming back from my visit to ageless pals Stevo and Shewolf....
Why was I so happy? http://www.techhelpers.net/e4u/animal/350.gif
SnowPrincess 04-16-2003, 12:29 PM My mom just sent me this:
A Prayer
Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my shape to keep.
Please no wrinkles, please no
bags And please lift my butt before it sags.
Please no age spots, please no gray- And, as for my belly, please take it away.
Please keep me healthy, please keep me young-And, thank you Dear Lord for all that you've done!
THE TRUTH IN 13 WORDS Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what in the world happened.
