Just call it, "Yo-yo Furniture." The whole part about leaving butt prints on the furniture reminds me of an article in last night's paper. Evidently, it's fairly common... and legal... to stroll around parts of San Francisco in the nude. One law was passed a while back that those nudies had to place a piece of cloth on public seating before parking their derrieres. Now, some people out there are getting sick and tired of all those dangling bits hanging out in public all the time, and new laws may be passed regulating when and where it'll be allowed.
