Booty is an important component of a woman's curvy shape, while sizes may vary as widely as preferences; Booty is something that is undoubtedly an asset. For men it provides both another place to rest their hands and something to slap when the time is right.

The King letting the Booty have it

A great Booty is timeless...

Take a Page out of her book ladies

And many women today spend way too much time worrying if their Booty is too big in terms of numbers, when in reality, most (heterosexual) men truly don't know the difference and don't care; it is more about the ratio of butt, waist, and boobs that matters. Booty is a key factor in the equation and a woman with a serious case of noassatall is more than a damn shame.

Case and point - flat Booty is not sexy

Whether it is big, small, or somewhere in between, the curve of the Booty is of the utmost importance.

The only thing it's missing are my teeth marks

A good Booty can more than make up the difference of a small rack and give a girl that is a little light up top, an edge. This is why what's packed in the orange shorts at Hooters is more important than the namesakes pushed up in the white shirts. You wouldn't have the Empire State Building without a good foundation, and Booty is the base of a babe.

Of course the combination of a killer Booty with rockin' tits is a something that is hard to beat. (Unless you're Chris Brown)

The perfect storm

Kim Kardashian

Is her image a bit overexposed? Sure...

Is the "reality" thing more than a little annoying at this point? Yes.

Is her damn Booty kickass? Hell Yeah!!!

There are as many different types of Booty as there are Booties, everyone has their favorite. Here are a few of the most common types of Booty.

Athletic Booty

This type of Booty is among the very best, taught yet bouncy, it springs back every time and is as firm as it is curvaceous.

Fitness Model Jamie Koeppe

I was going to write some stuff here, but I don't need to. That Booty says it all.

Badunkadunk

A large can on a girl that shows that she may very well be built for comfort rather than speed, and that my friends is not always a bad thing. A Cadillac will take you to all the same places that a sport bike will, but the difference is all in the ride.

Ghetto Booty

Called Oakland Booty by Sir Mix-a-Lot, such a Booty is the Booty of choice for rap videos. It is bigger than most and more prone to shaking than an epileptic.

...she turned around and gave that big Booty a slap...

Whooty

White girl with a booty. It is just like it sounds, a white girl that has a rap video worthy ass.

If you don't watch this twice you might be gay - or a chick, in which case, take notes.

Insane Booty

This might just be a shameless excuse to show off some great Booties. In fact... of course it is. Why the hell not?
