Men don't do it because, if they want to suck on a breast, they go out and find a breast.

I sucked my thumb until I was about 17.I just put a glove on a night and I soon stopped!It was incredibly easy to get out of the habit.If I try doing it now it feels soooo weird.

Me too, i can't even remember which thumb i sucked!
*Puts thumb in mouth*
Possibly right, but they feel the same now whereas when i was younger one was definetely more comfortable than the other...

I have a 14/15 year old step-brother that still does it, i have a feeling he would struggle to find a womans breast to suck though...

Okay, the embarrasing bit:
I'm seventeen and i still suuck my thumb...
does anyone else on here still do it? is it weird?
and should i give up? part of me wants to because i know it's odd at this age, another part of me doesn't because it's a comfort thing and it helps sometimes. does it make me a freak and should i give up?
(my teeth arent affectd by it at all luckily.. ive got a bit of a lump on the thumb but nothing major)
Thanks

I sucked my thumb until I was 15, and I only stopped because I had a brace and I had to. It's definitely worth giving it up I think, as it's a little embaressing. I tried the nail biting polish that tastes vile but I still found that I carried on. It was only when I couldn't do it anymore because the brace was too big that I stopped.

I think your habit has become your addiction. You can get that cream stuff to put on your thumb ends, so when you go to suck it, it tastes all euggghh!! Thats just a suggestion.
my mom tried that to get me stop biting my nails and the wierd thing was i liked the taste of it.
i sucked my thumb until i was about 16, and it has given me a bit of an overbite but i just stopped for some reason, but i know older people than me who still do it and im 25

lol, i'm a 20yr old guy and i suck my thumb. tbh i don't give a sh**t if people think it's weird. I only ever showed my ex gf and only my brother, mum and dad know i do it. If i don't suck my thumb then i can't go sleep! Also, it relieves so much stress and tbh sucking on a t*t is weird if you are doing it to fall asleep... and it's only my left thumb that i am addicted to so there is no substitute. So i guess the only person who will ever find out will be my nex gf along with my bro, mum and dad. N the girls i go for are the cute/sweet type that wouldn't find a prob with it.
My ex thought it was cute but got pissed off that when we slept my elbow would dig into her head cause i wanted to get a good angle for my thumb LOL

I tried it for the same reason and got addicted to the stuff, heehee! Okay, it's funny now because I managed to stop, but I got really pissed off at the time

If you do it a lot then I'd say yes, give up. I sucked my thumb a heck of a lot until I was about 7 or 8 and I had to have braces as I result. It gets quite painful when you can feel your teeth moving.

well, it hasn't affected my teeth after seventeen years, so I don't see them suddenly getting wonky - i assume i do it so it doesn't put pressure on them or something.
i guess it's more.. should i WANT to give up? i don't get that comfort and safe feeling from anything else, it's really basic and instinctual, I can't imagine how i'd calm down without it.
but at the same time... it's really weird ... =/
(and sorry for the anon post but i am a bit embarassed about it and know people on these boards.)

Everyone needs that sometimes, don't they? When you've had a really sh*tty day and your emotions are over the place and you just feel down and stuff.

Thumbsuckers unite!
I've tried giving up a million times but I just can't be bothered now. It's a source of comfort. It's my most well-kept secret, only my family knows!
