Buttock cleavage is the partial exposure of the buttocks and the gluteal cleft between them, often due to low-rise pants or bending over. The term can also refer to the top portion of the buttocks exposed by low-rise clothing or deliberate fashion choices. Buttock cleavage has cultural, fashion, and social implications, varying significantly across different societies and historical periods.

History and Culture[edit | edit source]

The display of buttock cleavage has varied in popularity and acceptance throughout history, often reflecting broader societal attitudes towards modesty and sexuality. In some cultures, the exposure of buttock cleavage is considered provocative and sexually suggestive, while in others, it may be seen as a normal aspect of traditional dress or casual fashion.

Fashion[edit | edit source]

In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, fashion trends such as low-rise jeans, short shorts, and certain types of underwear have led to more frequent exposure of buttock cleavage. This trend has been both criticized and embraced, with some viewing it as a form of self-expression and others as inappropriate or overly sexualized.

Social and Legal Aspects[edit | edit source]

The display of buttock cleavage raises various social and legal issues. In some jurisdictions, exposing buttock cleavage in public can be considered indecent exposure, leading to fines or arrest. Social attitudes towards buttock cleavage vary widely, with some people considering it a harmless fashion choice and others viewing it as inappropriate or offensive.
