Karen I was and am, till today, very orally fixated. I smoke (constantly), bite my nails and, yes, even in my 20's still suck my thumb to the point where I have obvious bucked teeth that stick out even when I close my mouth. My parents spent years trying to stop me...

Karen I'm an adult and suck my thumb a lot. I do it because it feels right, sort of like when you fold your legs over one another when sitting down; it's a posture of sorts. I do it when going to sleep, while sleeping, driving, watching tv, etc. My whole mouth is...

Karen Yes, I suck my thumb almost all the time and everywhere. And, yes, it's made my teeth stick out but I don't mind since my teeth allow me to suck more comfortably, without even opening my mouth much. Everyone should suck their thumb. I think people would behave...

Karen It's both. I suck my thumb because, well, sometimes it's just automatic, like when I go to sleep, other times it's 'cause I like to, when watching TV for instance, or driving my car. It feels good, is legal, convenient and, most of all, VERY calming.
