1. Your butt muscles are the largest muscles in your whole body. Think about it, your butt has to keep your whole torso up (and the stronger your butt muscles are, the higher you can jump, if that's a thing you need to do). So you can do all of the arm curls you want, but your butt will still probably be stronger than the rest of your body because there's just so much serious muscle mass there holdin' it down (this is also a great time to acknowledge how badass your butt is no matter what size it is because it is seriously a freaking powerhouse).
2. Your butt could get alcohol poisoning far more easily than your mouth. Drinking with your butt (aka using alcohol enemas) might sound hilarious and fun but pouring alcohol into your butt means the alcohol doesn't have the stomach and liver (which help make alcohol less toxic) to go through before it gets into your blood stream, which means you're likely to get drunk much faster. Plus, at that point, even if you do feel like throwing up, the alcohol isn't in your stomach so you can't throw it up and then you're really screwed because there's no other way to get it out faster, which is terrifying. Point is, just don't do this.

3. Wiping your butt with baby wipes might not actually be a great idea. Dr. Michele S. Green told Cosmopolitan.com that a lot of people have allergic reactions and can get dermatitis from the chemicals in baby wipes (and babies can have this same problem), so you're really better off just sticking to soap and water or regular toilet paper.
4. You have a bigger butt than your boyfriend because that's where your estrogen tells fat to go. Men's bodies tell their fat to go to their stomachs but women's estrogen directs it right to our butts, which is why you're more likely to see a guy getting heavier in his stomach and have his butt stay the same size for life.
5. You can get skin cancer on your butt even if its never seen the light of day. Angela J. Lamb, MD, assistant professor of Dermatology of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, says skin cancer can appear on unlikely places like between your fingers and toes, and on your underarms, butt, and genitals, so make sure your doctor is checking every where on your body because you never know and also keep an eye out yourself (a hand mirror is your friend).
6. There's actually a word that means "I totally get turned on by butts." It's called Pygophilia btw, in case that's a word you feel like working into daily conversations for some reason.
7. The bigger your butt is, the smarter you are. According to a University of Oxford study, being a woman with a big butt was linked to being more intelligence, supposedly due to having more omega-3 fats which help with brain development (but fear not, brilliant small-butt women. It's just one study's opinion).
8. Your big butt actually makes you less likely to get seriously ill. That same University of Oxford study that told you your big butt makes you smarter also found that women with bigger butts areless likely to get diabetes and heart disease, even though those are two things usually associated with obesity. Basically, the fat in the lower parts of your body release fewer cytokines, which are often linked to insulin resistance that can lead to diabetes. So having more fat down there is actually protecting you, while helping you look pretty babely TBH. Thank you, butts.
