With all the attention the ass has been getting lately in pop culture, it’s hard to remember a time before Kim Kardashian “broke the internet” with her voluptuous backside and Nikki Minaj twerked her way into America’s heart with her asslicious video “Anaconda.” So what is to thank for our culture’s newfound love of all things Ass, and, more specifically, the rise of ass play? Huffpost recently discussed why “the act of backdoor loving is definitely having a cultural moment” in a deliciously ass-centric video (watch below).
You may have noticed recently that in the popular shows “Girls,” “The Mindy Project,” and “Broad City,” the lady characters all enjoyed the pleasures of anal play. Further proof of the rise of ass play is in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, which found that 46% of women have tried anal, with over half incorporating it into their regular sex routines. In a historical 1948 study about American sexual habits, only 11% of married straight dudes reported having tried anal sex. So, as Huffpost asks, “how did ass play go from distasteful to flavor of the month?” We’ll give you one guess: porn. Yes, porn is to thank for bringing ass to the masses. And as porn star Asa Akira said, “Ass is the new pussy.”
