Western culture. The public exposure of the male and female midriff and bare navel has been taboo at times in Western cultures, being considered immodest or indecent.
The navel is an odd, but powerful, erogenous zone. When someone pokes inside or around a belly button, some people may feel erotic sensations. That's because the navel and genitals have a common tissue origin. For some, the stimulation feels like a tickle—down there.
RULE #1: Hide that bellybutton!
Exposing your entire midriff is so passé. The new way to do it reveals just a little sliver of abs and leaves a lot to the imagination. In general, keeping the flesh of flash above your belly button, not below, is a much more tasteful option.
Wherever you talk, you point your belly bottom. So if I talk to you over here, I point my belly button. If I move over here, I point my belly button. That's the belly button rule.
He looks at you (to be more precise, your stomach) because he likes you. He has romantic feelings for you and probably wants to start a relationship with you. It could be thought that he likes you so much because you have an attractive stomach. He can't keep his eyes off of your belly.
"A stomach kiss shows that your partner feels very comfortable and close to you, and is also sexually attracted to you, since kissing in the stomach area not only requires a lot of familiarity, but is getting pretty close to intimate areas," said Bennett.
Depends on the girl and the situation (and your relationship with her) and how comfortable she is with that part of her body. I can certainly imagine a girl who thinks her tummy is too big (or otherwise imperfect), or too ticklish, not wanting to be touched. Be gentle, and if there's any doubt, just ask!
Bellybutton (Navel)
For ages 13 and up. Bellybutton or Navel piercings are the first in what we like to call a big kid piercing. These piercings take even more care than a cartilage piercing with longer heal times but are a must have for the trendy teen.
The subjects agreed: the best-looking navels were vertically oriented with a T-shape. Those with particularly large belly buttons, or with any sort of protrusions — sorry, outies — or distortions, received lower scores.
Researchers determined the "perfect navel" was a small, "T- or vertically shaped umbilicus with superior hooding," as shown. This is obviously subjective. Researchers determined the "perfect navel" was a small, "T- or vertically shaped umbilicus with superior hooding," as shown.

The sebaceous glands release oil in the skin. If one of these glands in or near the belly button gets backed up or clogged with dirt and oil, a cyst may form under the skin. If the cyst is infected and leaking, a thick off-white to yellow discharge will often come from it.
If you're under 18, you must have a parent or guardian present to sign off on your piercing.
We report the oldest preserved umbilicus in a fossil amniote from a ~130-million-year-old early-branching ceratopsian dinosaur, Psittacosaurus. Under laser-stimulated fluorescence (LSF), the umbilicus is revealed as an elongate midline structure delimited by a row of paired scales on the abdomen.
It's her decision and if you think she's mature enough to take care of it herself then what's the problem? Make sure she understands the risks piercings can cause (infections, irritation ect). Let her have some freedom and be a teenager. If she regrets it when she's older, she can take it out.
"The internal lining of the abdominal cavity at your umbilicus (belly button) is called your parietal peritoneum. This structure is exquisitely sensitive and its sensory nerve fibres relay input back to the spinal cord at the same level as the nerves that relay sensation from your bladder and urethra."
Dr Christopher Hollingsworth of NYC Surgical Associates explained to Lad Bible that touching the belly button actually stimulates the lining of the stomach, causing us to feel like we need to dash to the loo – even when we actually don't.
Put your hands around her waist from behind.
Touch her gently so you don't startle her. If you two get really comfortable she might even let you slide your hand down a little lower. Once she's comfortable with you putting your hands on her waist, grab her and swing her around. Then, she'll be facing you.
Keep your touches light and short so she doesn't get uncomfortable. If you two have been having a fun conversation so far, feel free to gently touch her on the hand or on the forearm. Don't go any higher than that, and definitely don't try to grab her waist or anywhere on her torso.
It appears that in same-sex encounters, females are somewhat more likely to initiate touch than are males. That is, female-female touch is slightly more frequent than male-male touch. In contrast, in cross-sex encounters, men are overwhelmingly more likely to touch women than women are to touch men.
