Haha, odd confession right? I am fifteen, and ive sucked since I was probably in the womb. Funny is that people expect me to grow out of it but I choose not to. I sleep better, concentrate better [even though i never do it in public], and can literally calm myself all with my thumb. No drugs or anything unnatural needed for inner peace Despite what most websites and doctors say my teeth are straight and have no adverse effects from the sucking. I was always ashamed of my thumbsucking thinking its a immature habbit, but many people don't realize its actually a great way to soothe yourself. There is even a whole bunch of adults who thumbsuck too. Thats basically why I am sharing this, I am wondering if there are any other people who know, or are themselves, thumbsuckers well past baby age. Or how you feel about adult thumbsucking for serenity? Peace&love. -Emily.
There's actually a movie called "Thumbsucker". If you haven't seen it already, I highly recommend it.
yeah i sucked my thumb till i was about 16 then i started smoking. Then I quit smoking and now i chew gum all the time. I've always had an oral fixation. But yeah i dont think sucking your thumb isnt that bad, if it helps you. one of my best friends still sucks hers and she is 18. i dont know why though she smokes weed and cigs, i think its more of a comfort thing. If it makes you happy, go for it!
Yeah i've seen bits and peices of thumbsucker, and I really have to see the full thing, thanks for reminding me, Lace and feet. And I know what you mean lakeofffire, I have the same thing with oral fixations. When Im not thumbsucking, I am doing something else with my mouth like gum or something. I guess its easy to have multiple comforting habbits though. But if they arent hurting anyone, the more the merrier
Wow I can't believe someone came out on these forums. Guess what? I suck my thumb as well. I quit back in middle school at about 14 i think and started up a couple months ago because the reason I quit was that I was afraid of what other people would think, I don't give a fuck anymore and its a neato habit. REally helps calm me down and channel my thoughts. For some reason its appealing to know that a girl sucks her thumb. I don't have like a fantasy about it or anything but its slightly hot I guess.
my sexy cousin is like 19 or so and still does nothing wrong with it better than biting you lips/nails/everythign you own (my oral fixation :tongue
I don't thumb suck but a girl in my class does and shes 17 years old. she did it in class! I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
Sweet, Mortes, another TSer! Really, you're right, its a great habbit that DOES help you think clearly. If others dont like it, forget them, I say. I would also find a guy who sucks his thumb appealing... Not that I think of the habbit sexually though many refer it to err say- oral sex, but I just think that someone sharing the same "odd" habit as I is just hot in a way. Duck and Lovely- Its cool your cousin still sucks, and that a girl in your class would actually suck in public, Lovely. And Its also cool you both are open minded enough to see it as normal
