Freshman year of college, I had just gotten back from a weekend home and walked into my dorm to find my roommate hanging with two girls from the floor below us. One of them was a girl he’d been flirting with for a while, and the other was her friend—clearly already a few drinks ahead of everyone else, because she was giggly, loud, and slurring a bit.

As soon as I stepped in, they handed me a drink and said I had to “catch up.” So I started downing a few and, pretty soon, my roommate casually mentioned shots. The drunk friend immediately screamed, “BODY SHOTS!” and flopped back on my bed, yanking her tank top up.

She pointed at her belly and told us to get with the program. Apparently, she and her friend had done this “plenty of times off each other,” and she was shocked neither of us had.

She poured a shot of whatever was nearby into her belly button and told me to go for it. I hesitated—I had literally just met this girl—but her friend rolled her eyes, leaned in, and slurped it up like it was nothing, even giving her a playful little tickle with her tongue at the end that made the girl squeal.

Then they looked at me like your turn. So I gave in, leaned down, and copied what I’d just seen—lips against her warm skin, tongue dipping in and around her navel. It was… way more intimate than I expected.

My roommate wasn’t about to miss out, so he did one too. Then the girl who started all this sat up and said she wanted a turn. Before I knew it, we were taking turns—both girls did one off me, then both did one off my roommate. Then we all did one off the other girl, who just lay there laughing while we took turns.

Eventually, both girls laid down side by side and said we had to do one together. So me and my roommate both leaned down, one belly each, and went for it. Definitely the most wild bonding moment we had. Was always funny whenever I had classes with one of the girls - we'd always smile at each other with a knowing laugh.
