Hi there, I've been thinking about getting my belly button pierced. I think it looks incredibly sexy, I'd love to hear any comments about your experiences. Thanks , Lydia
Hi Lydia!
The truth is the thought of getting a naval piercing fills me with fear and dread. In college I had my left ear pierced for a while. It was kind of a fad in the early 80s. I allowed the hole to close about a year later. I have been thinking about getting both ears pierced. It is so much more acceptable now.
The thing that drew me to your post was the title. I own and sometimes play a card game called Munchkin. It is a humorous take on D&D type adventures. The object of the game is to reach level 10 first. There is s card in it that states "contemplate your navel. Go up a level". So.......
Congrats on gaining a level 😉
Hugs,
Autumn
Lydia -
That is something I would never consider doing and my wife wouldn't allow (I know my body my choice but I do need to accept limits - I'm thankful she accepts my dressing) but if it is something you want ... . Just research before you decide regarding infections and such. Remember if you don't like it you can always let it close.

Each to their own, but it's something I wouldn't do.
My wife has suggested that I get my ears pierced which I don't really fancy, nor do I have any tattoos.
The idea of deliberately penetrating my skin is really uncomfortable for me.

I'd say go for it! You can always take it out if you don't like it.
I have tattoos and ear piercings, I'd get another 'girly' tattoo and I've even contemplated getting a second ear piercing; one thing I wouldn't do, is get pierced anywhere else.
Many years ago, at the end of the eighties, I lived in The Netherlands and being young and virile, all things sex were on my mind--one of those things was nipple piercing, and I had it done.
It was done in a very clinical environment with a Dutch piercer in Den Haag (The Hague) and at first I was very pleased with the result.
Now there is one thing about being young (ish) and that's that we have to work, and work means activity, and some of the time, I had to lift heavy boxes of equipment. Now think about how you lift something that is heavy and then carry it in front of you, you know, where the box has to rise to and where it rests. Now you know why having nipple piercings was a seriously bad idea. I kept them in a while, trying to persevere through the constant bashing they received. TBH, I don't think they ever came close to healing as they were always suffering from blunt trauma.
After six months or so, I gave up and removed them, the relief was palpable.
I know the nipples are higher and perhaps more vulnerable than the belly button, but they are supposed to heal better than the navel and they just didn't, so it doesn't bode well for the tummy. Women have hips, so while a navel piercing is healing, their clothes can sit lower, a cross-dresser with the male shape might well mean that clothes will sit right over the piercing with the concomitant buffeting from waistbands.
That is my experience and thoughts, but you must have your own, I hope a piercing goes better for you than it did for me.

PS My wife had hers done at the same time and she managed to keep them for two or three years, but in the end, they became just something that was in the way and hers went too.
I have my belly pierced and I love it! I pierced it twice, actually. First time I let it heal for reasons I can't remember, but probably something purge-related. A few years later I got it redone, and I'm not letting it get away this time! It's cute and sexy, and didn't hurt very much either time. I'd share a pic but I'm not sure if it would break the rules.
Keeping it clean while it heals is a bit of a nuisance, though, as is dressing/undressing/using a towel, because it can get caught on clothes so easily. You'll also want to avoid corsets and anything tight-fitting until it heals. Once it's nice and healed up it shouldn't give you any troubles, though wearing super tight stuff might feel a bit strange, since there is an extra bit of metal there.
I wouldn't want to bring any more attention to my stomach area which is one of the least attractive parts of my body. However, for someone who looks good in a midriff top it could be a fun girly thing to try.
