    - I dont know .. I was sucking my finger while reading this too ! Iv sucked my finger since I was a couple months old. My mom said that one night I was in my crib crying & that all of a sudden I stopped , & when she went to see why I stopped that I had my finger in my mouth. My mom & her two sisters suck their thumb.1 of my cousin's sucks their thumb & the other 1 sucks their finger.. my little sister sucks her finger sometimes too. So its a looonnggg line of us finger & thumb suckers but I started the finger sucking 1st. Neways when I suck my finger .. I twirl my hair *on my head* or I take my middle finger & I rub the tip of my nose. I have to get braces cause of this because it pushed some of my teeth up a little, but I guess to us on this page its pretty normal. (:

    I was sucking on my left index finger when I looked at this. I don't know if it's normal, but apparently it's normal among everyone who's posted here.

    I am very like you I suck my right index finger and fiddle with my hair (probably because it's soft) I only like do it when I am tired... Sometime in class I struggle to stop my self from doing it. I only do it when I'm tired on when I want to go to sleep. Like to get my self to sleep but once I'm asleep I 'apparently' don't do it

    I suck my index finger as well. I'm very similar in that I have to rub silky material such as blanket binding along with sucking my finger to feel relaxed.

    Another comment, my mother breast fed me until I was nearly two years of age and only stopped
    because of a younger sibbling....

    I sucked my right finger until I was nearly 14. My mother tried breaking me from doing it by putting bitter tasting things on my finger, but I would wash it off and continue doing it. It was somewhere between my 14th and 15th birthday, that the habit finally went away. That was the only way I could sleem at night. and it had a calming effect over my life.

    Another habit that I had along with finger sucking that has continued until present was
    squeezing and rolling my right nipple. My
    mother had threatened me often as a child of having a doctor remove my nipple. Of course, that scared me, but I felt she would never do
    it, so I just kept doing it. As a result of
    this particular habit my right nipple is
    large then the left. For that reason I have trouble undressing when in the presence of
    other men. And, I do not walk around my home
    with my shirt off.
    BTW, my wife does not have a problem with
    it. She has worked with me to help increase
    the size of the left, but its still not the
    size of the right....
    .
    Sorry, I got off track....
