Fashion sometimes exploits the navel through clothing that leaves part of the lower abdomen bare, and is much more common for women than for men. Displaying a bare navel has been and still is a taboo in certain Western societies, since the depression of the navel is taken to be an erotic allusion. Therefore the trend of exposing the navel has usually been confined to women (aside from a male belly button shirt fad in the 1980s). This is contrasted to, for example, saris traditionally worn by women in India, which may typically expose the n ...

When the rectum is full the increase in intrarectal pressure forces the walls of the anal canal apart allowing the fecal matter to enter the canal. The rectum shortens as material is forced into the anal canal and peristaltic waves propel the feces out of the rectum. The internal and external sphincters of the anus allow the feces to be passed by muscles pulling the anus up over the exiting feces. To prevent diseases of the anus and to promote general hygiene, humans often follow the action of the sphincter with a cleansing activity after emptying the bowels. A wash with a bidet or a wiping with toilet paper are of ...
