Butt Shapes: What Shape is Yours?

Is there a part of your body that you’re self conscious about?  For Cassandra, the main character in The Rock Star’s Wife series, it’s her rear.  It causes her much embarrassment during high school when, having a newly developed woman’s body, she’s convinced it attracts unwanted attention.  In reality, there’s nothing special about Cassandra’s booty.  There are four butt shapes, and all women have a variation of one of them.

“What doesn’t make me happy is that my butt, which already was high and round has gotten even higher and rounder.  I feel self-conscious in bottoms, so I usually pull my t-shirt low to cover my ass up or wear a casual dress.  I really don’t like guys seeing me in my swimsuit.  Maybe I should stop going to the pool.” – Sexual Awakening, Chapter 2

Of course, what doesn’t make Cassandra happy, makes the boys (and later men) she dates ecstatic.

“The only person hitting on me is a petite brunette with a bubble butt, and that’s how I want it.” – Corey in Christmas Surprise, Chapter 5

Cassandra has little control over her caboose’s profile.  That’s because it’s mostly genetic, determined by the shape of the pelvis along with muscle and fat distribution.  Her sister Vanessa and their double cousins Persephone and Maroula no doubt also have the same body shape.  Depending on which side of the family the trait comes from, other cousins probably do as well.

Eating properly and targeted exercises can change the shape of your glutes.  Some people also resort to plastic surgery to achieve the desired look.

Butt shapes are determined by looking at the ratio between the waist, hips, and thighs.  The classification system was developed by plastic surgeons.  The four shapes are:

H Shape

In H Shaped butts, there is a straight line from the hip to the outer thigh.  This shape is caused by high hip bones, and this body type is more prone to hip dips (an inward curve below the hip bone).  Seen from behind, these butts have a square shape.

O Shape

In O Shaped butts, fat is equally distributed around the ass cheeks.  When seen from the back, there is a round appearance while from the side, the butt sits high and looks full.

Also known as a bubble butt, women with this type butt are prone to wedgies and cellulite, but also tend to be curvy.

This shape also is the most common butt shape for men.

A Shape

A Shaped butts look like an upside-down heart when viewed from behind.  Fat distribution tends to be in the lower portion of the cheek as well as the upper thighs.  It is commonly found in women with a pear shaped figure.

V Shape

V shaped butts don’t have much volume in the lower cheeks and can appear somewhat flat or flabby.  This shape is more common in postmenopausal women when estrogen changes redistribute body fat, but can be found at any age if the person has wide shoulders and thin hips.

This blog is a companion piece to The Rock Star’s Wife, a series about sex, family, and rock & roll.  The series has elements of chick lit, romance and erotica and is best compared to The Vagina Monologues for its frank talk of sex and its consequences.  The series follows Cassandra from her teenage years into her 40s as she navigates relationships (both romantic and platonic) — all with music playing a prominent roll.

Book one, Sexual Awakening, drops February 2023:  Teenager Cassandra Economos loves five things: Her awesome friends. Her big fat, dysfunctional, Greek family. Rock music. Her plan to move to Chicago. And Kurt Cobain.  Soon, she’ll gain another love.  Sex.  Stifled by her family’s rules, how will Cassie explore her sexuality?
