You have probably heard something on TV, in the movies, or in music lately referring to “butt stuff”. Omarion’s song with Jhené Aiko and Chris Brown called Post to Be talks about analingus, with Aiko promising: “I might let your boy chauffer me/But he gotta eat the booty like groceries.” Nicki Minaj refers it in her song Anaconda when she says “He toss my salad like his name Romaine”. Even Mindy Kaling dedicates an entire episode of The Mindy Project to anal sex in an episode called, I Slipped. What exactly is “butt stuff” and why are people going crazy over it?
There are several ways that people are anally stimulated, but three of the most widely discussed and practiced are butt fingering, analingus (rim job), and anal sex. Butt fingering is pretty self-explanatory and refers to the fingering, rubbing, and stimulation of one’s anus and muscles surrounding it. This feels especially great for guys because their prostate gland gets stimulated this way. The same goal is in place with analingus, but one is accomplishing it through stimulation with the tongue. Finally, anal sex is the penetration of one’s butthole by the penis or by a sex toy. Guys like anal because the butt is super tight, and girls like it because it’s another way of hitting the “G” spot.
The popularity of “butt stuff” has caused quite the controversy as it has increased in popularity.
Some people think that anal stimulation is disgusting and even risky, considering the fact that there can be some unhealthy bacteria in feces. I have personally heard horror stories about girls pooping on their partner’s penises because they hadn’t prepared their anus for the occasion. I have heard stories of people getting farted on or encountering a just plain dirty butthole.
If it is as gross as certain individuals make it out to be, why has pop culture made “butt stuff” a thing? Well, for one, because people think that it feels really, really good. The entire genital region is completely filled with nerves and pleasure points that are stimulated from the insertion, rubbing, and licking of different places at different angles.
It can also be another way of embracing your sexual being, demonstrating your sexuality, and acting on what turns you on. Every human being is also a sexual being. There are different ways of showing, expressing, and acting on what turns you on. Pop culture is simply taking one of these “turn ons” and talking about it. In doing so, they are taking the taboo out of a sexual expression that, in consensual and healthy circumstances, could be really fun and help an individual connect with a partner.
Just be safe and remember to use a condom for your and your partner’s protection! You do you boo boo, and put it in that poo poo!
