32 years of being embarrassed about this and I’m finally posting here

I feel absolutely insane posting this, but I guess that’s kind of why I’m doing it

I’ve loved belly buttons for literally as long as I can remember. For me it’s especially the sensation right at the bottom/center, and I’ve always found reading about or watching belly button stuff to be a HUGE turn on. The idea of a needle going into or through the base is especially 🫠 have only ever been able to play around with my own, but the idea of having a guy be into this is the ultimate dreammm

The funny part is that despite being into this basically my entire life, I am SO embarrassed and ashamed of it. Like… I genuinely don’t even like saying “belly button” out loud. I had it pierced at 18 and my boyfriend at the time had to say what I wanted at the piercing studio bc I clammed up so badly. Fast forward over 10 years and only failed attempts at bringing the belly button into the bedroom later… I’ve wanted mine pierced again and specifically found a piercing studio where I could book the appointment online because the idea of having to CALL SOMEONE and tell them what I wanted was apparently too much for me lol

But last night, at 32 years old, I finally said fuck it and got it pierced again. Going in by myself and actually letting someone pierce the thing I’ve spent my entire life being weirdly secretive about honestly felt like accidental exposure therapy

And now somehow I’m posting HERE, which might be exposure therapy round two

Obviously I don’t want to mess with the new piercing while it’s healing, so I’m leaving it completely alone… but I’ve been reading through this subreddit instead and holy shit 🥵

Anyway. Hi. I can’t believe I’m actually posting this, but I guess I’m finally admitting there are other people who understand this very specific thing 😂
