By the way…While we’re on the topic of asses…

I was watching 12 monkeys for the first time in a LONG time. One thing I noticed, apart from the fact that I liked it as much as the first time I saw it, was the gratuitous amount of bare male ass in the movie. Really there was only three, which were divided between Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt. I justified the shots with the reasoning “It’s for the ladies watching.” But a couple days later something popped into my head. It was that theory about male attraction to women with large hips and a shapely bottom.

Several studies state that the male attraction to the female figure is one of a primal nature. It’s a deep-rooted desire for men to find suitable mating partners to spread their seed. Do I agree with this theory? I’ll just say that it makes sense and that I’m not human. Well what happened after that was I thought back to 12 monkeys and the flesh display geared towards women. It dawned on me.

What’s the logic behind female attraction to male ass? I’m pretty sure a man’s behind has little to do with his ability to be fertile. We don’t carry anything within us during the birthing process. So what’s the deal?

Perhaps we need a female rapper out there to explain it to us. I mean women had Sir Mix a Lot to break it down for the world. I think it’s high time that women rappers stop talking about how sexy THEY are and start explaining their attraction to the male body. Where’s our help? Women rappers? Anyone?
