Thumb-suckers of the World UNITE!
You know what? I am proud to be a thumb sucker…
It’s the most lovely thing in the world to come home after a long day, give your hands a soothing soapy wash and then settle down to a good bit of thumb sucking.
I suck the thumb on my right hand only. I know of people who suck both thumbs, but I really only suck my right thumb.
Once or twice I have had to suck my left thumb due to a burn or cut on my right thumb and I can only describe the experience as weird. It’s like wearing your left shoe on your right foot. It just didn’t feel right…
My Dad really badgered me to give up sucking my thumb when I was in my teens, I suppose he felt that it was going too far. When we’d be sitting looking at the TV, he wouldn’t let me suck my thumb so I used to sit behind a plant and do it there.
I have been thinking about how lucky I am to have my thumb and to enjoy it so much. It really is an incredibly unique experience and I feel at one with other adult thumb-suckers. I always smile to myself when I spot them. They are as rare as albinos, but they are out there.
Once I had a bad skin disorder on my thumb. I mentioned it to the doctor in passing, when I was in for another ailment which I won’t go into now, I’m sure you wouldn’t be interested in that anyway. The Doctor told me that the digestive juices are at work when my thumb is in my mouth and it’s causing the skin to be broken down. I didn’t believe a word of that and sucked my thumb until it felt well again. It’s been fine ever since but it’s down to the bone now.
That’s alright though…
nom nom, i still suck my thumb and i’m 14:) sorry hehe i’m dead proud:)
I’d love to meet another adult thumb sucker. I’m on Long Island. I’ve sucked my thumb in public, usually when driving. Do you only hide it?
…and so you should be!
Good day to you! I’m 26 and I love my thumb so much, mmm, so hypnotic! It is the left thumb for me
Suck on!

Great, join the club…!
Well done! Keep it up! You could be doing far worse!
We deserve the freedom to suck! Going strong for 15years and 9 months!
Peace:)
i am 27 yrs old and i still suck my right thumb also. my thumb peels alot and reading ur blog or whatever it is i realize why now that it peels. but like u i love sucking my thumb. it makes me feel alot better when i am having a bad day. but i do it alot alot alot. my husband dont mind that i do it. but i wll catch my self out driving and doing it. my sister will have to tell my to take it out when i am with her. i have to a conclusion that i will always do it and will never stop. i have tried to tell myself to stop but i figured the damage is already done to my teeth and i will never get braces so why stop now. maybe if i was younger and would have gotten braces i would have stopped. but nope not now. my kids and nephews know me by sucking my thumb. they will immitate me. my kids dont suck there thumb. but my youngest nephew does. he needs a silky like i do, so i will put my thumb in my mouth when he has his with his blankey and i will try to take it from him. it is so cute cause we are both tryin to keep the blanket away from each other. he will break down and cry for his mom. but sometimes when he wants to go play he will bring his blanket to me saying its alright for me to have it. lol….
