So, clicking through new dA pictures, came across a very disturbing word of a phobia (and even more unnerving visual depiction of such fear).
Never really understanding the image until I read the definition but this is a fear of bellybuttons. Who could be afraid of such ke-yewwwtte, vulnerable, enticing, delicious looking little divots on every one's middle. Or perhaps protrusions, a rarer delicacy deserving of further nom nom attention, in my humble view.
Wondering if anyone else knows of such an esoteric word (and no, I'm NOT asking you to rub your nose in it, brad! ) and views on such a phobia.
I mean, I understand an avoidance to say, excess lint or debris in a navel. Smell can vary on the scent and preferences of the individual... but a complete fear of such little scars, marking our life in the womb? Would such people be afraid of any scar they see? Acquire?
