Sexual activity of living beings is extremely complex, when part of the different variables and tastes that arise for mating and reproduction of our species. Although the ultimate goal of sexual activity has always biologically been procreation and perpetuation in space and time of the genome, in almost all species sexed this approach for intercourse was given through the mechanism that determine and control the impulse for sexual pleasure in our Limbic System, including the Amygdala and Hippocampus.The expression of these mechanisms has established what is called courtship and a series of erotic rituals that have shaped the culture and, vice versa, culture to such erotic expression.
Sexual selection is an important Darwinian evolutionary concept has served to explain the emergence of secondary sexual characteristics, such as elements of attraction in different species of living beings.
In the main basics of courtship, foreplay and sexual interlocking, our species phylogenetically conserved the common elements of the taxonomically lower species. I clarify that essentially is very similar, but, as I said earlier, the expression of courtship itself has changed culturally very broadly and even in primary targets of sexual purpose.
In general, it is assumed that some traits are a result of fighting and competition between members of same-sex in a given species for accessing the pleasure that intercourse gives with the opposite sex members. It is what comes to define intersexual selection.
These secondary sexual traits are established by morphological variation in appearance between males and females of the same species, in which size, color of skin, hair, body odor, sound and tone of communicative language is included, etc.
As a man, I will refer to the type of woman who for us is a sexual attraction, ie, women who have the potential to become sexual partners, for their physical attributes, in general. But, I will outline how it has changed over time and culture.
During early times, probably, body odor of the sweat and feces, as in dogs and other animals, and these should be a powerful sexual attraction; just like a big fat ass, as shown in limestone statuette of more than 30,000 years representing the Paleolithic woman: Germany’s famous Venus of Willendorf.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, almost dawn of the Belle Époque, in England and France, was displayed and showed incorrectly in circuses and spurred the whole sexual fantasy of men of those nations, the Bushman woman from the tribe Khoikhoi, called Sarah Baartman, known as the Hottentot Venus, born in 1789, in a valley in South Africa.The attractiveness and sexual characteristics of this poor woman, who died on the voyage probably of a syphilis illness, was the prominence of ass (steatopygia) and have a labia minora in her vulva, very typical of women Khoikhoi, which, according to historian Stephen Jay Gould, “hung from 3 to 4 inches below the vulva when they were standing” (sic).
Already during the Belle Époque, even long after the World Wars, the prototype of attractive woman was very much like the woman who was exhibited in the tables of Spanish painter, Julio Romero de Torres: a brunette, body shape Guitar and mellifluous speaking woman. A very similar type exhibited the famous artists of Mexican cinema such as Maria Felix, Gloria Marín and the singer Maria Victoria, etc.
The French and Americans also liked similar types, for that time, massive women and plump, with oval and / or rounded shape and pleasant faces, and with shapely like guitar bodies.
The advent of the porn industry during the 70s and 80s, becomes the model of the American woman, a blond guy or brown, thin and longilinear structure; but, above all, a buxom breast woman and a little ass.The buttock, primitive motif attraction, seems to be minor in importance than breasts.
But behold, in fashion and in life itself, everything is cyclical. In the 70s in Italy, France, came into vogue the big ass woman. Many Europeans then sought African women, mulatto Caribbean and Brazil, with prominent ass, but not loose, but firm and tight.
With the famous: Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, Cheryl Cole, Rihanna, and maximum big assed majesties: Beyonce and Kim Kardashian, it seems that the love for the Venus Hottentot who scandalously paced Europe in the Nineteenth Century, returns again to be fashionable and the steatopygia like a feminine charm is a strong comeback.
