Is it possible to stimulate the g-spot from the bellybutton? No, this is a real question. I’ve never found my g-spot (nor do I have much of an interest to, really–I’m quite happy with my clit now), but when I dig my finger into my bellybutton, I get this amazing and intense feeling deep inside of me, about where my vagina is, an inch or so about the opening. I’ve asked my female friends if this have ever happened to them, and they give me odd looks. And when I ask them to give it a try, they do some half-assed poking around in their navel, and then say, “No, nothing. You’re a sexual freak, Kristen.” So am I? Seriously, is it just a coincidence, or am I actually reaching my g-spot through my bellybutton? ---

Poking at the depths of my bellybutton (particularly when I’m lying on my back) gives me a sensation akin to the urge to urinate. The sensation, as you say, is intense, but I find it’s quite distinct from any sensation I’ve managed to coax from from my G-spot. YMMV, of course. ---

(Sliding a little closer to **ThisYearsGirl** ) Really? You don’t say? What are you doing later? You know, when I was a teenager, there was a spot in my navel that would induce an erection. I haven’t tried it in years. And I refuse to admit that I just tried it now. But let’s just say that when I was a teenager, the capital letter B could give me an erection if I looked at it right. ---

First off, I don’t think you are crazy. IANA Doctor or Anatomist but I had a friend in college that told me she would get really excited sexually when she played with her belly button. She had no reason to make something like that up but I have never heard anyone else mention it since that discussion. I don’t know if it’s related to the G-Spot… hey, lots of people don’t even believe there is a G-Spot, but at least you’re not alone. I have found in my experience that there are women who have erogenous (sp?) zones outside the areas where you might expect. One girlfriend I had could almost orgasm from a particularly intense foot massage… It surprises me that you aren’t more interested in locating your G-Spot. I have been able to locate it in at least two women and if stimulated properly it’s appears to give the most intense orgasm imaginable. Sounds like a worthwhile goal for any woman to attain! Now for the indelicate question… can you achieve an orgasm simply by manipulating your belly button? ---

I think you’re stimulating your vagus nerve **ThisYearsGirl**. While it may be pleasurable I don’t think it’s recommended because it tends to interfere with the regulation of things like heart rate and breathing. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dolphinboy \* > > Now for the indelicate question… can you achieve an orgasm simply by manipulating your belly button? I can come pretty f-ing close. ThisYearsGirl, I am your kindred spirit. My belly button is VERY sensitive, but only if I poke it hard and kind of massage it…(this is starting to sound gross) but definitely it gives me a tingly, sexy, blushing feeling. My husband will ocassionally poke me in the belly button lightly because it instantly makes my knees buckle. jarbaby ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dolphinboy \* > \*\*Now for the indelicate question… can you achieve an orgasm simply by manipulating your belly button? \*\* Honestly? I’m not sure–it feels like an orgasm, and it’s really nice, and follows the same pattern as one, but it’s sorta vague and undramatic, especially when compared to a clitoral orgasm. > [@](#): > > It surprises me that you aren’t more interested in locating your G-Spot.

While I don’t get a sensation nearly as intense as what you two have described, my belly button is an errogenous zone for me. My boyfriend stimulates it to arouse me. Unfortunately, I assumed the same was true for everyone, and was always poking around in _his_ bellybutton–only to find out later that he finds it painful! :eek: Oops. ---

Anything’s possible. I’ve only prodded mine a few times (usually attempting to remove sand from it after playing on the beach) because the only feeling it produces in me is nausea. That itself is an intense feeling, so maybe you’re on to something. ---

Well, since we’re talking about G-spots, might I suggest [this Salon.com column](http://www.salon.com/health/sex/urge/2000/03/25/sling/print.html), my favorite G-spot story, about a middle-aged woman who pays a licenced sexologist to find her G-spot for her. It’s fairly graphic, but amusing in its honesty and it’s lack of mystical BS about G-spots. ---

\*\* Ok, it is time\*\* I really hate giving away tips and the such but it might make this board a better place… Ok men, for all you guys who came in here wondering what the deal was, your in luck. Don’t ask me how I know any of this, don’t ask me how it works or why it works, just know that it has always worked for me. I’ll try not to be too graphic m’kay. We’re all adults here for the most part no? Ok, on with the info: Here’s a tip you’ll learn from me, it’s how to find the spot of G, if needed use some KY-Jelly, and insert a digit or two and try to touch her belly, watch as she moans and calls your name, this tatic has brought pleasure and fame, Good luck and play hard you lucky little ducks, and if it works, send me ten bucks! Basically, I found that my SO totally enjoys this…alot. I’m sure tokiwoki will be around any time now to back me up on this 🙂 (I love ya sweetie.) Anyway boys, just get in there and aim for the belly button. If it doesn’t work, try and feel around for a bit of uhhh tissue(skin?) that feels a bit different than the rest. Trust me, you’ll know when you get it right 🙂 “You can thank me when you’re having the best sex of your life!” –abe simpson ---

I’ll totally back Cyk up on this one. Trust me, he definitely knows what he’s talking about. This is a super sensitive spot that feels so incredibly wonderful when it is stimulated. I’ve never gotten to it from the outside through my bellybutton (and neither has Cyk), but I must say I’ve never tired. I suppose it’s possible, but I suggest the Toki and Cyk way of doing things. Have fun! 😃 Next time you’ll have to get Cyk to tell you about the “R” spot. mmm…R spot. 😉 ---

My SO’s G-spot (named for Dr. Graffenburg, but in my SO’s case she says its because when stroked it makes women go "GOD THAT FEELS GOOD)is about one third of the way back in her vagina, on the top wall, and feels like a little, smooth space about the size of a lima bean. Be forwarned all you G-spot spelunkers, there can apparently be too much of a good thing - my SO has had to ask me to stop on more than one occassion (overwhelmed by the sensation). For extra special kicks I sometimes rub that spot with the tip of my middle finger while simultaneously stroking her clitoris with my thumb. She fainted once from that so I keep that little manuever under lock and key except for special times. (I’m sure she’ll appreciate me sharing all of this with you fine folks as well). ---

There’s only one “G-spot,” and **plnnr** outlined where it is and why it’s called the “G-spot.” However, there are erogenous zones all over the body, and their location can vary from person to person. These zones can stimulate sexual arousal if touched (or nibbled, or kissed, or whatever) properly. They can also be quite ticklish or sensitive if NOT touched properly, or at the wrong time. Hope that helps. ---

**ThisYearsGirl** , sounds like you aren’t overstimulating your vagus nerve. But it and be done. Some signs are dizzyness, nausea, arrhythmia and bradycardia. GayHealth had a few comments on the subject… [http://www.gayhealth.com/iowa-robot/network/ask/?record=132](http://www.gayhealth.com/iowa-robot/network/ask/?record=132) Seems the navel isn’t the only place to work that particulat nerve. Also, [http://www.micromedex.com/products/demos/webready/Consumer/MyDiseaseDex/00047880.html](http://www.micromedex.com/products/demos/webready/Consumer/MyDiseaseDex/00047880.html) this site explained one of the dangers of vaso/vagal overstimulation. Not that vagus nerve stimulation doesn’t have it’s uses. It is used theraputically for treatment of depression, epilepsy, and paralysis. But I think the key here is moderation. Oh, and **mangeogre** , sure my respiration and heart rate change when I’m feeling amorous, but passing out or stopping my heart aren’t things I want to happen during erotic adventures.
