hmmm!\nThe buttocks (often called butt, buns, bum, ass or arse) are rounded portions of the anatomy located on the posterior of the pelvic region of the great apes and humans. The buttocks are formed by the masses of the two gluteal muscles; the gluteus maximus and the gluteus medius, (aka 'the glutes'), superimposed by a layer of fat. The superior aspect of the buttock ends at the iliac crest and the lower aspect is outlined by the horizontal gluteal crease. The gluteus maximus has two insertion points: 1/3 superior portion of the linea aspera of the femur, and the superior portion of the iliotibial tractus. The masses of the gluteus maximus muscle are separated by an intermediate gluteal cleft or "crack" in which the anus is situated. They allow primates to sit upright comfortably without needing to rest their weight on their feet, as (for example) cats and dogs must do when they sit upright\n\nNow you know it is a muscle, not fleshy skin and fat

Buttplug.  \n\nSeriously though, this is something you should talk to a doctor about.  It could be a sign of colon cancer (as well as many other less threatening diseases, but you can not know for sure unless you check it out).

I get goosebumps on the backs of my hands and my cheeks. They may not be as noticable in those places if the skin is coarse, but they still occur, at leat on my body. YMMV.\n\n\nEdit:\n\nAll you people syaing that you have no hair on the tops of your hands, your feet or your face. I guess that's possible but you do realise that you are in a distinct minority, right? Most people do have hair on the backs of their hands, their feet and their faces. We even have a special name for the hair on men's faces, we call it beard.\n\nSo lack of hair can't be the answer.

As a man, I like to wear panties that have a full back with them.  You know, one that covers the whole butt.  I belive they are refered to as 'bikini briefs'.  Thongs just ride up my butt and let my boys hang out on both sides.

Some people sweat in different places when they are nervous.  Some get sweaty palms, armpits or forehead.  You get a sweaty bum.  Perfectly natural, I'm sure.  If it bothers you and you want to find the cause or possible cure, see a doctor.  Otherwise......relax.

It differs from person to person and male to female but usually it will start from your outter extremeties and work its way in. Although there is no such thing as spot reduction youwill notice that you will lose inches on your arms, legs and face first. Then it moves to your abs, butt and upper thighs. Its more because of the relative size of these areas. Your whole body is losing inches but the larger areas are harderr to notice.

Your knees are possibly dry and need some lotion, alot of times my knees and elbows turn a brownish color because it is dry skin.

The are fatty bits on the side of the waist. They are not noticable in thin people when standing erect, but you can feel them when you are sitting.. Try pinching your waist when you are sitting and you will grab a bit of flesh, they are the love handles.\nPeople have already told you why they are called that!!!

Hi.  I have had diabetes since I was 9 and I am 35 now.  That is a lot of shots, since I have to take them 3 times a day.  I alternate my injection site every time to decrease scar tissue and tissue damage, and to minimize pain.  I use my upper arm, back of my arms, legs, stomach, and both butt cheeks.  Since I am right handed it is easier to take the injection in my left cheek, but I still manage to use both sides.  I keep the injections in my butt higher up but have used a lot of the general area.  I have never had any problems of any sort when using my backside for injections.  The buttock is listed in most literature as one of many possible and safe injection sites.  There are many great books, Internet sites, and magazines out today that you might be interested in.  You can find some good information on any Diabetes issues you may have.  Of course, you can always speak to your physician if you are having a lot of pain or are concerned about causing yourself problems.  Check out this article and look around the site.  Hope this helps.  http://www.bddiabetes.com/us/yourinsulin/howto_injection.asp

you probably have 'combination skin' which usually means pimples on forehead not on the cheeks. Look for cleansing products that help combination skin.\nHealthy skin is definately not expensive, cleansers and moisturisers all do the same thing - they cleanse and moisturise. Not sure if you have QV WASH where you are (available in chemists) but it is really good and cheap.\nStay away from chemicals and avoid quick fixes

Geez, why the hostility?  People are trying to be helpful.\n\nTalk to a knowledgeable person at a bike shop.  Sometimes the most padded ones like the gel seats can actually cause you to sort of rotate forward putting less pressure on your butt but more on your genital area.  Look for a seat that is gender specific.  It might take a few tries to find the one that's just right for you.  The shop I got mine from taped the rails with electrical tape so that if I rode with it a few times and it didn't work out for me, I could take it off and it would be in good enough condition to return.  See if you can find a shop that will let you experiment a little that way.
