Nowadays, you see so many things in adult movies with a theme on big butts, and there are so many adult actresses with a lot of junk in the trunk.
But who would you say started the whole thing?
I was thinking it might be one of three people- Nina Hartley, Tiffany Mynx, or Katja Kassin.

um Teagan is NOT one that has a big butt. When i think of ass i think of Katja Kassin, Flowr Tucci, Kelly Divine, Naomi, Ava Rose, Austin Taylor, Sara Jay, Caroline Pierce, etc.
Teagan isn't in with them. Nice ass yes, big ass no.

Hmmmm... My first reaction is that you're a director and have probably worked with Teagan and as an insider you should know... But on second thought.. What?
Teagan has a nice ass but I think the OP is talking about huge butts like Kelly Divine. Teagan (at least in the movies I saw of her) has a nice shapely ass but not a "big butt" like what Elegant Angel has been featuring the last few years. I mean those asses are huge. Before this recent craze, those types of asses would have been considered heavy girl porn. There is no point in porn history where Teagan would have not been mainstream, but some of the larger bootied girls now would not have made the cut.
Just sayin... And I actually like Kelly Divine and some of the more massive assed gals now.
Ryan Conner was a pioneer of the massive ass, but even hers was held together pretty well compared to some of the cottage cheese butts that are more frequent now.

Friends -
Don't know how many read my big booty history in the link, but I'll synthesize it down.
For WHITE women, (Black and ethnic women is a different discussion), the mainstream porn producer who first voiced a big butt fetish and pretty much created the genre in a meaningful way was John Stagliano in the early to mid 90s. His first porn big butt protege', and the embodiment of all that he loved in a big booty white girl was Krysti Lynn.
Krysti was the first girl specifically presented and marketed for her big ass, and it was always the focal point of the movies that John made with her from 93 to 95. She was the first big butt queen. Unfortunately, Krysti died at 24 in 1995, and didn't live to see the popularity of the porn genre that she helped create, or the transition from videotape to dvd that fueled the consumer porn explosion of the last ten years.
The first porn girl to really cash in on the growing "big booty" focus was Katja Kassin when she hit America's shores in 2003. That was the beginning of the big butt genre as we know it. I've discussed Katja at length elsewhere.

P.S. -
Teagan Presley in a thread about "big" butts. Good grief. Lord deliver me from this nonsense.

Well to me it'll always be Nina Hartley. Directors started concentrating on her ass long before it became fashion.
From a director standpoint, I think John "Buttman" Stagliano was the man. I can't really recall many, if any, big butt movies before he started shooting them.

I'm really surprised by Chris' saying Teagan starting it. Hopefully he'll give us more info. I would not have suggested her.
I think Nina has to be mentioned. For me though; it was women like Ryan Conner, Olivia O'Lovely, and Tiffany Mynx.
I also have to give some credit to Jules Jordan for my knowing about any of them with the first few Ass Worship movies. Vicariously, I always thought of Jewel D'Nyle as an underrated booty queen.

John "Buttman" Stagliano is the correct answer.
Sure there have been particular buttworthy girls (Nina Hartley, Tanya Foxx, Kassi Nova) all along, but Buttman is the first to explicitly and overtly feature the bigbutt and talk about it and produce movies with booty-centric titles and booty-centric themes and booty-centric content and explicit dialogue about the big booty.
Even the classic "Caught from Behind" and "Loose Ends" series were primarily about anal sex and not about big butts. If the performers in those movies happened to have big butts it was merely incidental, if the viewer happened to notice it, but the "big butt" was rarely/never actually praised or even mentioned in the movie dialogue.
It'd be interesting to research what was the first overt recognition/mention/acknowledgement of the awesomeness of Nina Hartley's butt, within a movie?

It really depends what is meant in the title of this thread.
If it is meaning shapely, then it would be Nina Hartley.
Any of us that have been around for a while knows that everyone was talking about her butt in the 1980's.
Her butt is excellent.

I have been a huge (even obsessive) fan of great ass for as long as I can remember. It used to be that mens mags like playboy rarely spent much space on ass.
Then, Penthouse started showing more butt, and then Club, and then some others. Later, I was delighted when mags like Rear View cam out.
For way too long, bums were virtually ignored by the glossy press.
Then the video revolution started, and porn became widely available.
Even still, great ass porn was rare.
Then, Stagliano started things. The Adventures of Buttman was maybe the greatest development in all of porn history. Now there are more big butt and anal series than I could list.
Why so much ass and anal porn, now?
Because it sells. Why does it sell? Because people love big ass and anal porn.
Stagliano, you are the man!

There has always been girls with big butts and there have been directors that may have showed off girls butt way back in the day. There've also been a title or two that emphasized black girls big butts back then too. But the girl who had the big part in ushering big white girl booty (it really didn't become a "craze" until white women joined in...sorry) was Katja. She had the booty of the bubble butt generation back then. That's not to say there weren't other girls who fit the bill but Katja was the booty of choice for a lot of directors who were getting into the bubble butt movement. Katja's butt was the star of a lot of booty themed boxcover and movies of that era.
As far as which director and/or studio helped bring bubble butts to the forefront on porn? I'd say the studio behind the BABY GOT BACK series and BUTTMAN. Both did a series of movies with big butts themes.

Men who like big asses started it. We have always been here. Porners just weren't paying attention to us too much before we had the means to communicate what we wanted.

It's not a craze. It's normal. Extra meat in the area of the hips and thighs is a clear visual sign of a woman who is healthy enough (at least in the short term) to survive a pregnancy if nourishment isn't readily available. Hospitals and plenty of food are a very recent invention.
You have to remember that technically, sex is about reproduction. Not recreation. We evolved to maximize the chance that our offspring would be born and survive. A malnourished mother would not be a great idea.
Of course in some cases, the big butt thing gets wildly exaggerated. I like 'em big but even I have my limits. When it starts looking ridiculous, I lose interest.

I used to wack it to Tanya Foxx's Big Ass back in the late 80's. She was the first Anal queen for me.
Buttman was the first director I watched that focused on Big Asses.
I loved Hustlers "Tailends" Mag at the time (80's)
But recently the "Assparade" website changed the way I look at Big Ass porn. I figured as a website they could be more intensely focused and spend more time on the theme then if they were releasing DVD's for mass market. It was nice to see ass play and exploration instead of the standard foreplay to start a scene.
I loved "over40inches.com" when that site first came out. They went so far as to measure the girl’s waist on camera then, if it was over 40" they would start to plunder from there.

Also I think the fact that the Big Tit theme got muddy-ed up with the onset of implants. So what’s more natural than a nice ass that is made in the gym - or at In and Out Burger joint, depending on how big it is.
But I yeild my time to BSD- he always has the goods on Big Assed girls.

BSD made an apt distinction: "For WHITE women ..." He goes on to say this is a different discussion for black (and ethnic) women. He's right.
The first starlet I remember having a big ass was Skyy (BEFORE becoming Skyy Black). Her ass turned me on so much, the best part of her scenes was just watching her walk. For me, Skyy was the first phatty girl.
Then came Cherokee D'Ass. Her ass is AMAZING! (Cherokee's ass isn't toned, nor are her legs, so if that's your thing, you won't like her.) What's even more impressive about Cherokee is, she doesn't have a big-girl frame--she's just bottom-heavy. Conversely, most big-butt black starlets are big all over.
Kelly Divine, who's one of my favorites, truly has a phat ass. But not even she has an ass as impressive as Cherokee's.

I think there is some confusion being caused by the usage of the word 'BIG'
I would not describe Nina Hartley as a woman with a 'BIG ASS'. She would be offended. She works very hard to keep herself thin and tight and she looks amazing. At a glance, it's very hard to tell the difference from 1980's Nina and Today. (She started in 1984)
What Nina and Tiffany and possibly Naomi have is what I would describe as a very SHAPELY butt with a very defined and above average waist to hip ratio.
Now Katja and Krysti are of a different body style all together and girls like Pinky and Cherokee are yet another thing altogether.
That being said - I'm just curious - how common are butt implants now? I had never heard of such a thing until someone posted pics of Danielle Derek who had a very obvious booty bump that just defied laws of physics.
Is the butt job the new boob job?
Just asking.

There are "big butts" and "bubble butts" and there are "Big Bubble butts". In my opinion Gianna and Flower Tucci have "big butts". Sasha Grey and Nina Hartley have "bubble butts". Kelly Divine and Brianna Bounce have "big bubble butts". "Big butts" are just what the name implies...big butts. When a girl with a bubble butt turns to the side her butt is round and curves outward from the small of her back and curves back into the top of her legs. Basically a large round "bump" that sticks out and curves back in.

I remember in one of Jim Holliday's compilation tapes, he had Nina Hartley as a co-host to introduce the clips, and she was talking about getting started in the business. One of her first scenes was with John Leslie, and she said he was so obsessed with her ass that she had trouble getting the scene going because he just wanted to jerk off to her ass.
I'm having trouble thinking of girls in the classic-era (pre-VHS) era, that are known for having a big, or bubble butt. I guess Vanessa Del Rio would qualify. Maybe Annie Sprinkle.

Good points. There is definitely a difference. My preference is the bubble butt. Some of my all-time favorites are girls with some meat on their bones, like Christy Canyon and Gianna, but they don't have bubble butts. The girls that do are usually of a smaller build, and are just blessed with the kind of butt that sticks out. Nice, round and meaty.

I think many guys have always liked big butt ladies. It just took porn makers a long time to catch up and focus their films on this common interest of men.
And perhaps the increased supply of ladies with big butts also has something to do with it. Americans are more obese now than they were 20 or 30 years ago. And this means that now there are lot more ladies with big butts than there were before.
Some moderately overweight women are very attractive. It all depends on how their body fat is distributed. If the fat goes to the lady's tits and buns, then she looks more attractive, when she gains weight.

But you know they'll never give a black woman credit or affirming that they have been that way for centuries, even when it was out of style and the anorexic teen look was in, but let a white woman come along and they just give them all the glory as they do w/everything else, as if no other race exists . ..

The 'craze' was started by men who like big butts, which was grabbed up by porn. Now we have people trying to make a distinction about how it happened, LOL.
Sir Mix-A-Lot was talking about this shit in the 90's, what kind of question is 'who started the big butt craze'?

I can't believe you posted ONE GUY'S picture of wrinkly out of shape fat butts from the middle ages and are comparing it to the cultural phenom of large rounded rear-ends from today. Yes, people have always enjoyed sex, no, people haven't always looked at big round asses and an entire culture was influenced by it.

I don't believe great butts = GIANT overweight asses.(I'm not going to name names because of all the fucking heat I took for it a couple months ago)
Please read BSD's post from WAY BACK in 2006, I believe he hit the nail on the head concerning Ryan Conner
If you've got a girl on top (or any other position for that matter), and there is an abundance of dimples (cottage cheese), it's time to head to the gym and ease off the cheeseburgers. If you choose to have a big ass, at least make it a fit ass.
IMO the absolute BEST of the new "thick" ass girls is Franceska Jaimes.
Franceska ass.jpgAs they say, you could bounce a quarter off her ass.
I think Stagliano played a major part in the "big butt" craze. But(t)I honestly think a major part of the craze goes back to a couple things:
1 - I have to agree with Mr_Heatmiser. The Sir Mix Alot "Baby Got Back" style "booty shake" videos of the 90's. Having worked at Rachels Orlando for pretty much ALL of the 90's, I definitely noticed that the more popular those videos/music got the more the asses started to grow....usually in a bad way. We had to call girls on it on numerous occasions because unfortunately as their asses grew, so did the rest of them!
2 - The simple fact that as a society most of us have gotten lazy, girls included so we're more tolerant of "big butt" girls. The problem is though, if you notice, most of the "thick" girls in the business today just continue to get thicker and thicker. They get some positive feedback about their big ass and they take it a license to chow down, without taking care of themselves.

Actually, the "big butt craze" can't really can't be accredited solely to one person. I went into that somewhat in my post right here...
Adult DVD Talk Forum Topic
which coincides pretty much with what Dan said...
The admiration for beautiful shapely thick big butt women really isn't something new. It's just been cleverly suppressed for a very long time.
Still, if you're looking for names throughout the history of porn that made contributions, there have always been no-named thick beauties popping up every now and then here and there but I guess the first one who was an actual star in the business would be Vanessa Del Rio with Susan Nero, Desiree Cousteau, Amber Hunt and Jennifer Wells (in her later years in the business) as runner ups. Then in the mid '80s came the big three, Nina Hartley, Ebony Ayres and Tanya muthaf*ckin brick-house Foxx. And talking about Nina, man, when she first hit the scene (back when she had dark hair) she personified the meaning of "brick-house". Especially in the scene she did with Vanessa Del Rio. She was more thicker and lovely than Vanessa. When I first saw the video back in the day, I thought she was Hispanic then came to find out that she's really white.
However, I've always said that it was Ebony Ayres who open the floodgates for big butt honeys in the '90s to come in and take the stage like Tersa Tease, Janet Jacme, Menage A Trois, Lady A, Hot Chocolate, Cindy Love and a few others. But that started to quickly die out towards the end of the decade. Yet, while that phase was dying, something else was emerging that not only picked up the slack but established and maintain the genre to this day. That was the internet (I go into that in the post I linked to above).
All of this was going on way before Katja Kassin, Sunny Lane, Cherokee D Ass, Pinky, Sarah Jay, Ryan Conner, Luscious Lopez, Victoria Allure and all the others most of y'all talk about now appeared.

The women you name may indeed have had big butts but I don't think were part of the "Big Butt Craze". In my mind the BBC started in the 90s when white women with big butts were featured in movies that focused on the butt and many big butt movies started showing up from different studios with women on the box covers where their butt was the focal point. I think that's when it offically became a "craze" much in the way "MILF" movies became a "craze" at a certain point even though Porn has always had older women in their movies.
Feel free to disagree but I think most black women in porn have always carried a bit more junk in the trunk than their white counterparts and I think it's alway been more common for black men to be more into big butts than most (not all) white guys in that era of time. I think black women of that era starred in movies aimed more for black males so big butts played a bigger role in "black" porn. But I don't think those movies were part of the "craze" but more of a niche thing. For me a "craze" ofically starts when most people (or studios in this case) get into the act and jump on the bandwagon.
And there's no need for anyone to point out they've always been into big butts because I'm not saying you weren't but clearly big butts are more accepted now by much more people than they were in the 80s.
Sure...but those girls are stars of the big butt era. Most of those girls porn career were built on their butts. Most of the women named from the past were pornstars who just happened to have big butts but it usually wasn't the focus of their movies, scenes or careers.
