Navel fetishism, or umbiliphilia is a sexual fetish in which an individual is attracted to the human navel.
A navel fetishist, or umbiliphiliac, can be sexually aroused by a variety of stimuli, including key words, thoughts or specific forms of physical interaction with the navel such as viewing, licking or sniffing. This attention is usually directed at a partner's navel, but may include a fixation on the fetishist's own belly-button.

Acts
Some navel fetishists engage in outercourse involving the navel, or navel torture – where the objective is to inflict intense sensory stimulation and even pain to a person’s belly button.
Causes
The fetish for navels may be explained by behavioral imprinting in early childhood, or to a lesser extent in adolescence or adult life. [1]
The anthropologist Desmond Morris has argued that the belly button is a miniature image of the vagina.[2][citation needed]
