Talk:Navel fetishism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Navel penetration?
I'm wondering if this would be considered another form of outercourse. I thought about it when I heard all the relations to it being a miniature vagina. Unusual, sure, but considering there are ear and nostril fetishists who do this, it could be a possible with a very small finger and a very large (likey 'innie') bellybutton hole. I'm not really certain of what the depth of the belly button would be, I can't even get up into the first joint of my finger when I try putting it in, so I'm guessing it would not happen much eh?

[edit] RE: Navel penetration?
Mainly, no. Although it has been known for some individuals to engage in direct penis/navel 'outercourse', it's generally not practiced.
However, to get a more definitive answer, I'll try see what information I can dig up.
One could suggest that it would be another 'sub-fetish' of navel fetishism.
After all, for some foot fetishists who enjoy direct genital stimulation from feet, it surely wouldn't necessitate the entire fetish to be classified as outercourse?
The reason I made reference to the 'miniature vagina' comment was to dispute the theory, not to give it more weight.
Thank you for your feedback though.
[edit] Latest changes (17-01-07)
1. I removed the reference to explaining the difference between the strict definition of fetishism and sexual fetishism/partialism. I believe that it’s unnecessary to include this information as it’s already explained thoroughly in the parent article on sexual fetishism.
2. I included some reference to ‘self induced navel play’.
3. Included ‘navel sex’ reference as a form of outercourse. This was added for two reasons, one being that it was brought to attention by someone on the ‘discussion page’, and that it seems to be somewhat popular among some navel fetishists.
4. I removed the ‘quotes’ section, but kept the Madonna quote. I personally believe this is the only quote (along with Lisa Donohue’s) to actually be relevant to navel fetishism at least as far as sensory stimulation goes. I also cited an outside source for the Madonna quote. I had to remove the quote from Apollonia about Prince, because I tried to search online for a reference to it, but couldn’t find one. I also don’t really believe that Cher’s practise of putting crystals in her navel would have had all that much to do with sexual fetishism.
5. I attempted to clean up the argument about the ‘miniature vagina’ reference.
6. I included a section in ‘Trivia’ addressing the fact that there are both men and women of all sexual orientations who have this fetish. Something I thought to be a point of interest, considering that it’s been typically believed that male and female ‘fetishes’ are often quite different.
7. I condensed two separate instances regarding navel piercing into the one section.
8. I deleted all references to ‘favourite shows/movies/actresses’. Basically, to try and keep the article as full of relevant information about just the fetish itself, without getting into too much unnecessary trivia.
9. I made an attempt to cull the external links section from getting too big.
