    This has come up a few times in the past month, with conflicting answers. So I want to hear your opinions. Are bellybutton piercings sexy on guys?

    I realise you can say it depends on the guy but just in general.

    Damn uneditable polls!

    Just use the first 2 options and disregard the gender question.

    Jeez have any of you guys seen a guy with a belly button piercing? Most (straight and gay) guys would get it done at a pretty large gauge, and I think it can look quite sexy if it fits with the guy, if he has a nice body and is fairly heavily tattooed.

    I think any guy, or girl for that matter, should get pierced anywhere they want.Stuff what other people think.

    I want a navel piercing but after 3 children I have a jelly belly.............. :(

    Boring.....


    ...Location of a piercing does not determine sexuality.

    Ps I love my belly button piercing


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭FX Meister


    Ìt looks bent.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 396 ✭✭Finch*


    belly button pierccings on a MAN? well we do have male automobile drivers...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,756 ✭✭✭I am MAN


    Mods can we rename this thread male insecurity? :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭FX Meister


    So you are saying that a man gets his belly button pierced if he's insecure? You idiot.

    No, what he's saying is we shoudl rename the thread 'male insecurity' because so many men have come on here and said it's 'bent' for men to have a bellybutton piercing.

    So I think you're being the idiot.

    I think I am MAN is saying that tongue in cheek - really for a guy NOT to get a certain piercing because he thinks it is *gay* is downright ridiculous - a man should be secure with his sexuality, and a navel piercing (or any other)shouldn't change that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭FX Meister


    I was taking the mick. I still think it looks bent on a man but it's got nothing to do with insecurity. If a man wears tights and a bra I think he looks bent too, does that mean I'm insecure?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 396 ✭✭Finch*


    photos?

    =]


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 588 ✭✭✭JenLorigan


    I think belly-button piercings could look okay on guys. But it does depend on the guy. And I'm generally not a huge fan of them anyway, so yeah :p Do any of the guys with them done have photos?

    I'm very open minded and you're using that in the wrong context altogether.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭FX Meister


    Oh come on, how so my good man? You clearly insinuated that if you think belly piercings on men are gay that you are insecure. I think you need to get out more, like, way out. From like the closet and stuff. Jenophobe!!

    belly button peircing is more a feminine thing is it not?

    I personally wouldn't get it done, but that's just my preverence.

    I guess thats the way society makes people think but logically, no


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,767 ✭✭✭Hugh Hefner


    Well I think it could look good on alot of guys. But unless more guys try it we'll probably never know. Doubt I'd get it done myself but that's because I wouldn't get any piercings. Not have a problem with it. It seems like a much more unisex piercing than others (e.g. tongue piercing).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 396 ✭✭Finch*


    i know a guy with his tongue pierced, and tbh it doesnt suit a guy unless theyre heavily tattooed/have lots of other piercings, it just looks weird.

    So just because somebody doesn't like it and thinks that males look effeminate when they have their bellybuttons pierced that means they're a sap? :rolleyes:

    FFS, it's an internet forum and somebody has asked a question to which people have a replied. Just because you don't like their answer doesn't mean they are saps.

    my mate had his done about 7 8 years ago and it looked really funky it was really nice..(not a gay guy either) but it wasnt shown he just had it coz he liked it! but i've seen it look really stupid on some guys


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38 lizzyitis


    I go to alot of gay clubs/bars and I do see alot of them on fellas. They look well but I wouldn't find them attractive on straight men. IMO I think it looks too feminine on a man.

    Men with pieced belly buttons-

    Next they'll be waxing their legs and getting tatooes on their ankles and lower backs- How bout you get a butterfly tatooed on your hip too.

    i really like belly button piercings on guys...well it does depend on the guy...
    I think it's rather sexy, just once the jewerlly is plain and no diamonds or anything!!!!and i prefer bars to rings on them aswell...
    I know a guy who had 3 belly button piercings and it was really sexy but it suited him, cos he had other piercings and it looked more manly then gay believe it or not..
    I just think belly button piercings are too associated with girls with short tops and diamonds or long dangly bars...before belly button piercings got popular i knew a lot more guys with it done, so i guess that's why i don't think it looks wrong!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 453 ✭✭irishcrazyhorse


    I think if someone wants to say they are gay they probly should look at themselves but anyway.

    As most dont know,piercings started off in western society in the gay scene!
    Even in Ireland 10 years ago if you had an earring in your left ear you were considered gay and if you had an eyebrow piercing dont get me started:)

    So for someone with a few piercings to state to someone that if they have a certain piercing they must be gay,they really do come off as that stupid!

    Anyway,I like all piercings on any sex,why,cuz that person likes them and they make that person happy,even if just for a moment.
    By the way I have a 9mm navel ( 00gauge) and if someone wants to call me gay,fine,but i would luv to see them do it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 51 ✭✭Humpty D


    I also think it's more a gay thing to get done.

    And can people stop with the "just because you're insecure about your sexuality" replies - that comeback is just so clichéd now - it's such a U.S. highschool bimbo one-liner and holds no truth (just like the "he's obviously insecure because he has a small penis" one-liner). This is a discussion thread, and we are entitled to give our opinions - which just so haoppens to be winning in the poll anyway - and FX Meister shouldn't have been banned for 24 hours just because other people started jumping on his back for giving HIS OPINION on the matter.

    You're such a hypocrite. You can call him a "sap" and presume he's a 'meathead' just because he has a different opinion that you, but he can't insult 'gays' or 'straight men with navel piercings' without being called ignorant. How does that work?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,114 ✭✭✭doctor evil


    I`m indifferent about naval piercings, wouldn`t get one my self.

    That bloody well is ignorant! Jesus, imagine someone being gay! What's the world coming to?! :rolleyes: A guy can pierce anything he likes and it doesn't affect his sexuality one little bit. Oh god, I got my right ear pierced! Well, better start learning to like men! :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,230 ✭✭✭OLDYELLAR


    god no id hate if my lad went and got one , I`d defo have to say no , way unhot!eyebrows though , yea hot


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 51 ✭✭Humpty D


    A guy can pierce anything he likes and it doesn't affect his sexuality one little bit.

    That's just YOUR opinion. Take a look at the poll results to show what the majority thinks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    If I get my navel pierced it is *not* going to turn me gay. That's what you're saying. The poll say it *looks* gay, whereas you're arguing that only gay men have it. And it is my opinion, but at least it's an open-minded one.
