For Men, a Gluteus More Maximus

As men age, they tend to lose fat from their buttocks, faces and hands, while gaining it in stomachs and chests, Dr. Mendieta said. Weight lifting yields only modest results for the posterior.

“The only way to pump up your derrière,” he said, “is with your wallet.”

I have never heard this medical claim before and it sounds incredibly, massively fishy and self-serving to me.

I also can't imagine having a doctor stick gut fat into my ass cheeks but that's more of a macro problem with the whole idea being presented here.

Men's prosthetic butt stuff will always make me think of "Safe Men," which just took it for granted that HAVING IT EXIST was a funn y thing, same as sloe gin fizzes...

While preparing for the big lawn mower races in Durndle, Hank experiences back trouble. When he goes to the doctor, he is told that he has a genetic disorder called Diminished Gluteal Syndrome (DGS), meaning that he has such a small rear end that it puts added stress on his spine. The doctor gives Hank a prosthetic butt to wear, but the shame of it is too much until Peggy gets him to go to a DGS support meeting....+

I suppose there are only so many things a plastic surgeon can do to your dick before things get weird?

Weight lifting yields only modest results for the posterior.

I dunno. Couldn't it be that people just don't do a ton of butt exercises when they're working out?

as much as I love the idea of older men with bigger butts, i just can't approve of this. i just can't.

⚓ (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 24 July 2013 19:23 (twelve years ago)

unless you need your butt to be camera-ready 94/7 i don't know why you'd want a medical intervention to deal with butt wrinkles

⚓ (elmo argonaut), Wednesday, 24 July 2013 19:25 (twelve years ago)

cycling and running will build up your ass muscles pretty good. probably just easier to plonk down 10k if you're part of NYT's core audience, though.

The idea of losing three inches around my waist is definitely appealing but I feel like I'd never be able to buckle a pair of pants again.

"Post-Oven" (DJP), Wednesday, 24 July 2013 19:28 (twelve years ago)

also I am puzzled by the dude whose big ass is making him feel more "synergistic"

seriously, someone explain how medically expanding your ass makes you feel more synergistic

I took "synergistic" to mean his whole body is finally working together as a complete sexy package ever since he got his torso stuffed in his butt

I mean, does he run faster now that he has gut fat in his ass? I DON'T UNDERSTAND

"Post-Oven" (DJP), Wednesday, 24 July 2013 20:06 (twelve years ago)

well I mean I do understand, I just think "synergistic" is totally the wrong word

"Post-Oven" (DJP), Wednesday, 24 July 2013 20:06 (twelve years ago)

I think your ass flops around less when you run than your gut so maybe he just feels better about running

I was thinking about how skinny-fat dudes typically get a gut and love handles but age tends to make the face more angular

maybe we can get some sort of gut->butt->face round-robin of fat repositioning going

Ok so when someone called this gut-to-butt surgery on the other thread the picture in my mind was of some kind of extreme body mod micro trend where ppl would get, like an ostomy on their belly and then have it routed externally through a hose around their hip and BACK INTO THEIR ANUS.

The reality of the thing is p innocuous...

In the Calvin Klein Body Boost Butt Trunk ($22), support straps inconspicuously woven into the fabric of the boxer briefs lift and support. Elastic undergirdings in the 2(x)ist Lift No Show Brief ($24) also give hindquarters a boost.

I wonder, when Andrew Adam Newman got to "Calvin Klein Body Boost Butt Trunk" did he double over his keyboard for 5 minutes with helpful laughter? If so, we have something in common.

eric not to be forward but can you tell us about your skivvies? do they really enhance? do they lift AND separate?

They actually separated a little too much, tbh.

lol wtf at this

also jon otm, i saw "gut-to-butt" on the other thread and thought it was some kind of tunnel being dug through the torso to facilitate adding something to one's gut and releasing it through one's butt, so the idea of fat redistribution is kinda mild. haven't people been adding fat/articifial plumpers (collagen) to their faces for some time?

i never knew men felt so self conscious about their butt wrinkles, i will say that.
