Completely agree with this. I have a mad combination of weird likes and dislikes that have subtly shifted over the years. Belly buttons and fingernail trauma are the things that have stayed with me. While working with a boy with ADD a few years back who was about to run out in a main road, a female co worker and I both stuck out our arms to stop him, and the co-workers long nail went straight under the nail of the ring finger on my left hand, and while the pain was not inconsiderable, it was the phobic cringing that lasted...ooh a good three weeks. Luckily (possibly, perhaps not) my toenail trauma, which I also had as a child seemed to evolve in puberty into a fetish for girls with painted toenails, but that's another story. Can't even begin to talk about belly buttons though, would have to have a lay down afterwards

Belly buttons! I'd forgotten about those, I can't be doing with them either. Without a shower, mine would just have to stay fluffy.

Other people's are just things -- but the only person who can touch mine without recieving a reactionary push is my girlfriend, and that takes a lot of self control.
Edit: Just recalled the scene in The Matix with the robot and the belly button -- far worse to me than watching some real operations.

I am so phobic about belly buttons (well, my own) that the fact that I am able to remove fluff from it is a matter of some considerable personal pride. Getting a bit of dirt stuck in it can render me pretty much useless for a few days as I gradually build up the will to get it out, knowing that the short term trauma, rationally, outweighs the constant awareness of an alien presence in that area. Don't have a problem with other peoples unless they are outies which is just the most wrong, wrong, wrong thing ever - I could not have a relationship with a person with an outie.
Bsed on the amount that people enjoy freaking me out, I have realised that I would have had a more enjoyable life if I had claimed to have had a fetish for having my bellybutton touched and a phobia of womens feet

Arghh....I actually just bent double reading the matrix reference. Can. Not. Handle. That. Scene.

I can touch my own and remove fluff, but beyond that I try not to touch it.
I know what you mean about telling people -- as a teenager a "friend", upon hearing my unease about my belly button, proceeded to poke a couple of fingers in its general direction until he managed to have me swear at him and violently push his hands away. I only told the missus because I thought she'd respect the fact I never want her to touch it -- but she still thinks it's funny to pretend to (admitedly she rarely does and I can cope with a light brush of a finger).
