If you press your finger into your belly button, does it make you feel like you want to have a wee?

It doesn't for me, but I know this lady.......

Maybe her bladder is not where it should be.

Neither is mine then, cos I get that feeling.
Admittedly since middle age set in, it's usually neccesary to push the finger in up to the wrist though

My friend pressed his belly button and his legs fell off

I'm not allowed to press buttons

They breed, y'know.
Start out with two in a sub-navel engagement and before very long (in evolutionary terms) ye've got nearly 7,000,000,000 of 'em in all kinds of sizes, shapes, colours, preferences and predilections.

I have read that rubbing your belly button in a circular motion clockwise relieves wind.

But in answer to you question PP, no

I am re-assured then. In general, my assertion that she is a wierdo is correct. It was really hard work laying awake all night resisting the temptation to poke my finger in her belly button whilst she was sleeping!

Sorry Airscotia.

I supposed I should have asked, does rubbing your belly button in a circular fashion, clockwise make you fart?

Unfortunately- due to middle age spread (or beer, as it is sometimes called)- my belly button is now at least a foot away from any internal organs, and no amount of prodding will bring on any sensation whatsoever.

I don't need to rub my belly button in a circular direction to fart.

Does an inney or outey make a differnce?????

If I press mine I find bits of blu-tak...

Still?

It is a well known fact that if you turn your belly button anti-clockwise your bum falls off ..

As long as I can remember all kids of my family were brought up with that firm belief

RE Post 1 - even thinking about it makes me want to wee.

I was taught as a child that the belly button is some kind of vulnerable point, and it is best to avoid touching it altogether. Ever since, I've hardly even gone near it but, now I think about it, it doesn't seem that plausible...

Having someone lick, suck, tongue, and otherwise stimulate it can be quite nice... but they have to be careful... to ensure the blue tac is all removed first I guess...

hmmm... pushing ones finger in, and pressing, right at the 'bottom' of the belly button hole... does produce a sensation, at a somewaht distant location to the belly button itself.... probably I gues s related to the origion of a common neurological connection between the areas... Its not a 'making me want to wee', sensation... its... sort of... hmmm.... behind the groin area... hmmm... nope, not really prostate... not really .. hmmm.... Maybe its differnt in men and women... I can't quite rmeember where it is, in males, where the ... bits 'descend' from, in early life... would that share a common origion and hence nerve connection to the belly button area? hmmm...

oo. anyone want some blu tac?
