Genitalia do look weird. So do elbows. And noses. And tongues. And ears. And feet - feet always confuse me. (If I look at them very hard, I get this bizarre feeling that there's no way in hell we ought to be able to walk.)
The human body is weird. Fact of life. I am eternally boggled by people who are disgusted by it. Particularly, as you said, the stupid little details like pubic hair and large areolas. Especially the latter. I mean... seriously, people.
...On the other hand, I will admit to finding outie belly buttons vaguely terrifying, in the sense that I know when I get bumped on the belly-button, it feels horribly weird and uncomfortable, and it freaks me out to think that outie-buttons would naturally feel more strongly on this count. But it's not like I go around saying they're disgusting, or that if I had one I'd cut it off. o_O
