I agree, it is a waste when not needed.
Some distributors require it, so if you want to go through a Publisher and get it boxed for stores then you may need an ESRB rating.
If you plan to distribute it yourself via the web, then as Xplosys said TIGRS is all you need.
There is also the "Not Rated" option. FTW

That is the safest play, because then there is no reason for anyone to complain about nature of the content.
I am still trying to figure out how the human body went from a miraculous work of art to being something dirty.
And without procreation mankind would not exist, so I fail to see how a natural act necessary for our survival is dirty.
But I guess dirty minds have dirty perceptions and artists admire beauty.
To each his own, but yes a mature rating should cover your bases for showing a belly button. (belly buttons are sexy)
But I also fail to see how a belly button would be anything other than "E" for Everyone.
Okay beaches of the world we want no more bikinis and all of you guys put your shirts on before you jump in the ocean.
Heaven forbid someone see your scar from your umbilical cord.
And how is that worse than Viagra commercials being broadcast into your home?
Why is there so much concern over censorship in games when they show anything including women in their underwear in commercials?
It's all just a racket to get your money, so rate it yourself with TIGRS for free or don't even worry about it.
