THE BIG BUTT (NYANSH) SYNDROME.... A DISEASE OR AN ASSET?

Ukwu

In recent years there has been an unprecedented craze for Big Bum, what I personally refer to as the ‘Apple Bottom worldwide Hiroshima’. Though this desire for big butts isn't new in certain part of the world and among certain tribe and race. Large booties have long been preferable among black communities, especially in certain part of Africa and among Latinos.

Caucasian women in the past used to be concerned and sometimes scared of having big derrière; always asking "does this make my butt look big?" As a matter of fact, African women from the Khoikhoi tribe of South Africa like Sarah Baartmann, due to their large buttocks were exhibited as freak show attractions in 19th-century Europe under the name Hottentot Venus

However, in recent years a big behind has become a desirable asset for many women across the world including Caucasians, so much that they are willing to go to extra miles to achieve what they believe will make their booty look perfect.

Apple Bottom world-wide Phenomenon is fast taking over the world

The craze is so much that people now wear Padded underwear, butt-lifting jeans; mothers giving birth to baby girl now use some maneuver to enhance their baby buttocks in preparation for adulthood; booty enhancing gym-wares are in high demand likewise Gym classes that promise a plump posterior. Even Butt Surgery have become a world-wide trend with these surgeries been carried out by both Professional and Quacks alike.

The madness has become pandemic as it cut across the world: Africans, Latinos, Asian and Caucasians not left out. Some call it the J Lo effect, the Beyoncé boom, the Kim K craze or the Nicki Minaj Disorder.

The selling point of every music videos and song in recent times, both local and foreign are all cycled around Big booty: “your waist your waist all I want is your waist,” “Bum Bum,” “Ukwu” “Ibadi ni jo wa,”  "Honkytonk Badonkadonk," "Bootylicious," "My Humps,"

Hardly do you see a popular video without some vigorous waist wiggling. Even Gospel artist now features some form of benign ass shaking in their videos in the name of ‘shake that booty in the name of the Lord’.
Genre of music like Blues and Jazz now feature women shaking ass despite their slow tempo.

But the truth remains, some of this ladies possess too much junk in their trunk and need to address it sooner than later.  I really like big butts, and I will never lie about that, however I will not fail to advice the owners of these attractive, head-turning massive bottoms, that there is a big difference between having curves and carrying an unhealthy Backside.

I will like to differentiate between a Healthy Ass and a Sickness Prone Ass.

I will start by defining some medical terms relating to buttocks shapes and sizes: STEATOPHYGIA, CALLIPHYGIA, and ADIPOSIS DOLOROSA/DERCUM DISEASE.
