Butt-Con is exactly what its name implies: a convention for butts. And what does a convention for butts look like, you ask? Well, Muscle & Fitness was there and has all the ass-tastic photos (yes, we went there), so wonder no more.
Held in New York City on Aug. 21, 2019, the inaugural Butt-Con, presented by bidet brand Tushy, had anal beads, a New York Times best-selling author, group workouts, and lots of twerking.
The night was stacked with informational talks about all things fitness, health, and sex for your butt in an Instagram pop-up like environment.
Jump starting the night’s main talks, Jorge Cruise was introduced to the stage as the man who “got Oprah’s ass together.” The celebrity fitness trainer took the audience through an abs and ass workout on stage. Tushy founder, Miki Agrawal, helped demonstrate.

Corinne Wainer, a co-founder of Shaktibarre, walked the room through the importance of breath in movement and exercises. As she instructed the room how to exhale, Wainer suggested to think that your mouth “is an a*****e, that kind of shape.”
