For as long as I can remember, I've had a bellybutton fetish. Couldn't tell you where it came from, never cared. When I discovered a guy's upraised shirt could make my cock hard, I couldn't get enough.
And while I have to say that for the most part, I like all the different kinds - the perfectly round and bulbous outie, the oval outie with the slight lip underneath, the dot dimple innie on a pale, hairless stomach, and many others - the one that's always made my dick hardest is what could be called the vertical oval "slit" innie.
Allow me to describe this kind of bellybutton for you, considering you're probably not a navel fetishist (and seriously horny navel snob) like me. A vertical oval slit innie is a bellybutton that resembles a coin slot or a slit - a dark, sensual, vertical line (without a T "hood" across the top) - if you took a dinner knife and slowly dragged it downward through a new tub of flesh colored ice cream, pushing slightly downward to give it depth, for a length of an inch, maybe an inch and a half, the sensual depression on the surface of the ice cream would be the navel that would be the vertical slit innie bellybutton.
And just as sweet.
Vertical slit bellybuttons are pretty rare in guys. They're fairly common in females, especially those of the slender body on whom a bikini is flattering. Guys are more likely to have hairy dots for bellybuttons, or outies. Some guys have vertical slits with body hair in and around them, but I can't get enough of guys with body hair so fine, so as not to be perceptible, or practically none at all. The vertical slit bellybutton sits symmetrically in the middle of the abdomen, a dark line.
Bellybuttons are kind of daring to show for some guys, anyway. As with chicks, a guy sporting a crop-top with his bellybutton showing - especially if it's a pretty navel, and he has a pretty stomach - will cause heads of all genders to turn in desire, envy, incredulity (and possibly contempt in a few cases).
I'm very thankful to fate that I was run into one such guy recently. I had just finished up a workout at a neighborhood gym with very convenient hours (open 22 hours daily except for 2 hours for cleaning). Since I work a lot, I often go after dark when it's not usually crowded.
I was on an elliptical machine, pedaling away, watching junk on one of the flat-screen TV's. Unlike a lot of patrons that go to gyms, I didn't have my earbuds on, the new universal non-verbal sign for "don't bug me." It was after dark, and I was pretty much the only one in the ellipticals area.
As I was vegging out watching one of the cable channels, I heard a lovely, male, tenor-pitched voice next to me.
"Cool! I'm a fan of that game show, too. I wanna go on it sometime."
I turned to look at who'd spoken to me, and inwardly gasped with delight. He was probably about 5-9, with straight blond bangs of hair down to his shoulders. Pert brown eyes looked back at me, and a face with some freckles smiled with what was clearly well-kept dental work. He could have been a model. Couldn't have been more than 24. Sporting an electric blue tank top which revealed shapely, toned shoulders, and white workout shorts to complete the look.
I chuckled to myself inwardly. "That's a word game up there. You good with words?" I shot back, with a light taunt and a mild laugh.
"Ohhh, yeah. I write several thousand in my journal every night!"
"Me too! That's how I'm keeping my sanity these days!"
"I know just whatcha mean," the blond said, closing in on matching my pedaling pace. "I'm Ian."
I extended my hand across the gap between our machines and we shook, me telling him my name.
"I don't think I've seen you here before," I started. "I've been a member here for years."
"Oh, I usually don't come this late," Ian answered. "That's just how time worked out for me today."
"Office job?"
"No, theater."
"Oh, really?" I said, eyebrows raised. "You act?"
"I wish. I'm in promotions and administration. We're a classic non-profit. It's still pretty fun, though."
"I think you're actually visually appealing enough that you could be on stage," I flirted.
"Awww, thanks," Ian said, blushing a bit. "I just suck at acting, it's not my thing. I love people who can do it. I'm more like one of the smart people behind the stars."
"Hey, you guys are important, too!"
"Thanks. They treat me well, but the only credit I get is a name in the show program. Few folks read those."
