Uinavelfetish (amazingly) is 5 years old today
Back in 2014, I ventured onto Tumblr with a vision of sorts - to be the top place for those who find male bellybuttons erotic (like myself) and enjoy them not merely as artistic body parts, but in the same way that sex organs are - that is, something to which we joyfully masturbate.
It was not my first experience doing this. I had operated four sites on the old Yahoo GeoCities platform for years before hearing about Tumblr. Once I tried Tumblr and their app, I was hooked. It was easy to use, and even better, it was easy to repost bellybuttons from other sites, X-rated or benign.
Tumblr as a platform for communicating with other bellybutton lovers was without parallel. Its search system made finding content easy. The app and the web were both great experiences.
And then The Purge came. Late in 2018, Tumblr's owners decided that smut shouldn't have a home on it, so they instituted a massive deletion of content. Concerned this blog might be swept up in it, I migrated like 25 percent of the Tumblr user base - it was a textbook example of how to fuck up a customer base.
Today, I got an e-mail saying this blog turned 5 years old today. With all that's happened in recent years, that is something to celebrate.
No, not all the original content is still there - the Tumblr censors had a field day. Even the introductory banner I had created has been yanked. But it appears a good bit of what I posted still survives.
I can attest this to something I've been thinking on today - because the bellybutton is generally not considered sexual, posting images of anyone showing isn't going to run afoul of "community standards". And yet, it is precisely our ability as bellybutton lovers to have sexualized something no one else "gets", that we can fly under the radar in plain sight.
It occurred further to me that my particular brand of my bellybutton fetish is different even from other gay men also. Examples:
- I have noticed lots of gay men like bellybuttons that are flat, like a fold, or like a small dot. I happen to be a big fan of bellybuttons on guys that look like they belong on a bikini model - deep, elongated, and oval shaped. I think I'm in the minority here.
- I prefer to see bellybuttons showing on guys with unrippled or non-muscular stomachs - a flat, undeveloped stomach - again, like a bikini model - turns me on far more with the visual "distraction" of muscle folds. Again, I suspect I am in the minority here.
- Some guys like getting off to photos of the bellybutton close up - to the exclusion of everything else. That myopic a view is not for me. As I have described previously, the bellybutton is part of an erotic whole, a handsome guy daringly showing his bellybutton and challenging us not to look. I have generally made a point of posting bellybutton images where a guy's face can be seen because I love long hair, pretty faces, and a vibe that suggests the guy can be approached.
- Finally, I absolutely love outies! I find it interesting when I happen across someone who thinks outies are lame, weird or even gross to the point of nausea. I have seen outies on some guys where I would have creamed my pants in the moment, had I been able to do so without using my hands.
I still find bellybuttons on guys just as erotic as I did years ago when I discovered I had this select taste sexually. I plan on continuing to find new ways to enjoy it, and hope to find new other fetishists, including those in the closet, embarrassed they like a different body part than the rest of the male population.
To any guys out there who - perhaps miraculously - have stumbled across this blog, know that YOU ARE NOT A FREAK. The bellybutton is just another body part, and the human body in all its complexity has in many ways to sexually turn us on. I wish I could have more openly enjoyed my fetish years ago because I'd have spilled much more jism then. I'm glad to still be able to come now to one of the male's best erotic parts.
