 Photo via Splash We think we've made ourselves clear on this site: The Daily Bedpost is ardently against labiaplasty, vaginal rejuvenation, and G-spot injections. Don't do it, sistah!! You could do permanent damage to your lady parts. Which means it's helping who, exactly?! Exactly. But it turns out there's another below-the-waist plastic surgery trend in town--belly button augmentation, or "umbilicoplasty," as it's known in the biz. And we're not just talking about turning outies into innies. Women are turning to plastic surgeons to make their navels more diamond-shaped or less deep. And some women even want their belly buttons removed completely. Say wha?!... We're not sure whether to blame this on Hollywood or on Playboy or on women smoking crack. Because seriously: your belly button?! First of all, is there even such a thing as a perfect belly button? Second, navel-bearing shirts are so '90s. Third, as actor Gabriel Olds wrote in Glamour recently, "When a guy falls in love, his lover's body parts become bewitching. I'm not going to tell you that our heads don't turn when we see a stacked blond walking down the street. But when we fall for you--really, really fall for you--you hijack our sense of beautiful. What's sexy to us? You--in the 'before' picture." Swoon. And finally, if you were sleeping with someone and suddenly noticed that they didn't have a belly button, wouldn't you freak the fuck out? We'd start looking for their battery pack and on-off switch. 1 CommentsLeave a comment |

Why don't women get Olds' sentiment?
At least with the women in my life I've tried and I've tried, but with little success.
A and I were together for 18 years, married for 15 years. She was intelligent, beautiful, and hot. She never seemed to accept that she was when I told her and when I loved her.
B and I are married. We dated for seven years. We were both afraid of repeating past mistakes. We've been married for 18 years now. She is intelligent, beautiful, sexy, splendiferous. I tell that she is all the time. She doesn't get it. She all but says, "Aw go on. You say that to all the girls. You can't really mean it."
My sense of her beauty was hi-jacked -- not unrealistically -- by her. That is, she is beautiful, she has me, and she doesn't seem to believe me.
I think it's complicated. Does getting that you've successfully won someone over somehow diminishes you or them? Or that by not getting that you've done it keeps them at a distance, or in some category that you're comfortable with, or maintains your leverage in the relationship, or what?
I don't know. Can you guys explain it? Are you that way with your lovers?
