I know that for most guys, the last bit of fat to come off is the glutes. So I think it's gotten to the point where it actually does make a difference! But I'm more in favor of pulling your trunks up to expose this for certain poses than to walk on stage with a piece of silk rammed up my ass! And I don't wanna worry about my nuts popping out the side either! Lol... I will always be a fan of the old school trunks!
