You can be forgiven for not knowing that belly button is one of the most common fetishes in the world.
The belly button kink is so common that most don’t think of it as a fetish at all.
It’s an erogenous zone for sure and now that you’re thinking it out, you realize that you love watching beach beauties for the cleavage and the belly button.
Alvinophilia, or belly-button love, is just a fancy way of saying something as obvious as “chicks are hot.”
Whether you simply enjoy a woman’s naval as one of her many attributes of beauty, or the belly button fetish is central to your sexual thrill, there are many reasons why you may find it hot.
5 Reasons for the Belly Button Fetish
1. Belly buttons are usually hidden.
Belly button fetish may exist because they’re hidden, and close to that other place of wonder.
Depending on your culture and customs and the climate where you live, the neck, ankles, ass crack, midriff, and nipples are generally covered. The geisha’s lifted hairstyle is erotic because it reveals the neck. In some cultures, hair is only unveiled to a lover.
While it’s not uncommon to see a belly button, it’s not out on display all the time like arms or hands. A woman who wears belly-button-revealing jeans might be described as “leaving nothing to the imagination” even though her butt and legs are fully covered!
2. It’s an orifice.
It’s shallow but still an opening, and one of the orifices you can fantasize about or actually penetrate.
Pushing your fingertip in or licking is exciting, even if it’s not deep.
3. The belly button is an erogenous zone.
The belly button for both men and women has loads of nerve endings. It’s ticklish and in close proximity to powerful nerves. Indeed, naval tissue has a common origin to genital tissue. While the hole closes after the cord is snipped, there is still that feeling that the belly button is a portal to the inside, and the nerves reflect that.
Many women, myself included, feel a sensation that we are being touched deep inside our body when you’re in there. Even when you’re in my ass or vagina, I feel there are walls between those tunnels and the rest of me.
The naval is obviously closed, but it’s a powerful sensation. The fact these nerves are there make others drawn to them.
4. It’s mystical and biological purpose is connected to the meaning of life.
Sex is about life, about being born, and the compulsion to create life without which we would have no drive for. Even if you’re desperately hoping to avoid getting pregnant, or you’re gay or post menopausal, or masturbating alone, it’s still the origin of our drive in the first place.
It only makes sense that body parts involved in that process are central to our sex drive and belly button kink. The belly button is how we are connected to the cord of life when we start out.
5. It’s cultural.
The naval is the center of a man or woman, the core of the core, and that symbolism is reflected in various cultural manifestations. Whether it’s about auras and energy and vibration, belly dancing, fashion, or watching rock stars bare their stomachs, the belly button is a powerful social and cultural sublimation symbol for sexy.
