The 'slide'?

I'm coining a neologism, not being able to find the anatomical term on Google.

The slide: that region of a man's body between the bottom of his gut and the top of his pubis.

In New York (from where I write), it seems to be the gold standard in male physique, stretching itself grandly over advertising boards across Manhattan. Its loudest celebrant is Abercrombie and Fitch (see above). Theirs runs on and on - ever southward - into a fine, sultry mist. The shop itself - a dimly-lit grotto on 5th Ave with topless male assistants - dresses its mannequins accordingly: a plaster-white crescent separates the top of their shorts from the bottom of the shirts.

Is there an attraction over and above the generic ideal of the Grecian torso? In the promo surrounding The Dreamers, Bertolucci described the area (citation needed) as the localisation of male youth; the focal point of male eroticism - and maligned that his own had turned to flub.
