We’ve already explored the ‘sensitive’ female body part men say drives them wild, but there’s a more divisive one that’s got people talking.

Erogenous zones generate pleasurable sexual sensations and can be anywhere from the perineum, hands and ears to places like the scalp and our armpits.

But it’s the belly button that people are raving about now. ‘I’d previously experimented with stimulating my own belly button while masturbating and I’ve always enjoyed the sensation,’ one woman shared on Reddit.

‘I decided to introduce it into our sex life with my husband… he absolutely loved it. It’s now a regular part of our intimate moments.’

Others shared similar experiences with the navel. ‘I noticed when cleaning my belly button that I get a sensation that travels right down to my clit,’ said one.

‘I like it. It’s almost more intimate than boob-groping,’ added another.

This sexual fascination isn’t niche, with certain NSFW belly button communities on Reddit seeing 53,000 weekly visitors.

But others felt it was ‘the most revolting, most sexually off-putting thing’ and said they ‘absolutely hated’ their belly button being touched.
