I have known other adult thumb suckers. Long ago, as a child, one of the counselors in my camp 17 yrs old admitted to me that she sucked her thumb too. When I was about 28 I’d been working very hard with no days off for close to a month. The first day off I had a friend was over visiting and the phone rang. I answered and it was my boss asking me to come into work. I said no and felt very upset about the conversation. As soon as I hang up I stuck my thumb in my mouth without thinking. My male friend said, “What are you doing?” I felt frozen in my tracks and realized that I’d been caught. I just answered very factually that I suck my thumb and tried to seem off-hand about it but I was mortified. I cannot remember if my friend thought it was weird, but it is the impression I ’ve been left with that he did think it strange. Since then I am repeatedly almost, or surely caught by other friends and my kids friends. I just shoot my thumb out of my mouth and pretend like it never happened.
I’d like to share the following myth that I found quite wonderful in Celtic legend:
Nine great hazel trees surrounded the water of Connla’s Well. Because the hazels bore fruit and flowers simultaneously, they were symbolic of both beauty and wisdom. Every nine years, they set fruit and as it ripened, the nuts fell into the water of the well where they were eaten by the Salmon of Knowledge. in the fullness of time, the fish was caught by the boy, Finn, who burnt his thumb as he was cooking the fish for his druid master. Automatically, he put the thumb inhis mouth to cool it. Thus became privy to all the knowledge the Salmon had ingested. Finn MacCool became a great hero and, ever after, when confronted by a difficult problem, he had only to put his thumb in his mouth and the solution instantly became clear to him.
In terms of my background I’d also like to add that according to my mom, I was beginning to stop thumbsucking around age , but my Dad died suddenly and I started up again. I have since experienced the loss of two of my 3 brothers and each time my thumbsucking intensifies. Now it is just maintaining a pattern.

I am so glad to have found your site! Even though I know enough people who still do it to feel there must be MiLLiONS out there, its great to hear these comrades speaking out. I used to really stress about my habit, particularly age 10 - 16 When I felt so presured to stop and 'grow up'. Now I’m 25, and supposed to be 'grown up' (very confusing isn't it) and yes, I suck my (right -never left - tastes wrong and salty!) thumb as much as I ever did.
My best friends stopped sucking their thumbs when they were about 15 and had to wear braces, which apparently made it impossible and/or uncomfortable. But luckily my teeth were not affected (must be the angle!) soI had no reason to stop.
When I was about 17 my front top teeth started to ache a bit and I felt they were moving out slightly. Amazingly I found a wonderful dentist who I confided in and he said they looked fine. He said his 24 yr old sister still sucked her's which made me feel much better! Although my teeth have moved slightly, I think they have stopped now and they look OK.
What must it be like to be a boy thumbsucker? I feel it is slightly more socially acceptable for girls and really feel for all you guys out there. manhood and all that stupid stuff. I know that one of my male friends sucks his thumb, as I have seen him doing it out of the corner of my eye. But is obviously embarrased, even though I do it publically and in front of him all the time. It's a shame. I am sure my parents are pretty appauled that I still suck, but they never mention it, thank god. I do not smoke or drink (never have done either) and consider t.sucking a much more favorable and less unsociable habit. Why is it considered so unacceptable??
I do not find it at all sexual or erotic... I feel like my thumb is my best friend, although Ithere are still many public situations where I would feel uncomfortable sucking it. Will we ever stop? Do 'old' people suck their thumbs too, or were they mostly forced to stop as it was even more taboo when they were young.? Well, calling any I deas and banter. if you live in or around Brighton, England, I am new to the area could do with someone to explore and adventure with. have a great life out there and KEEP SUCKING!

My mother was unhinged by my thumb-sucking, even though she told me I was born tsucking. She enlisted my father in a years-long campaign to get me to quit. She tried threats (i wouldn't be allowed inschool; I’d be left by the side of the road; I’d never marry and if I did, my husband would divorce me--not exactly a huge issue at the age of 5). Then she tried punishment that included iodine, taping my index fingers to my thumbs with adhesive tape (the smell of that Johnson Johnson's stuff makes me ill) with lots of shaming in front of my sibs each evening as she applied the tape, tying my hands down, elbow splints and she even had my father make these giant spools out of wood that fit over my thumbs and tied to my hands. She shamed me in front of friends and relatives. She also perfected recurring night raids, where the lights would come on, the blankets thrown back and my thumb ripped away as she screamed at me. I tried to stop and never could and obviously felt infantile and undisciplined and weak. After many years of therapy, if I finally admitted tsucking to my therapist, who told me that most folks don't see tsucking this way (a revelation!) and we added it to the list of crazy behaviors my mother had/has and to the scapegoating attitude she had toward me and another sister. (Food was the other battleground we had and her I deas there were equally insane.) After all these years, I think it's clear it just drove her nuts to see me be able to comfort myself. Imarried rather late inlife and finally confessed to my husband--I thought years of hiding from my mother had perfected this art. He said he already knew and what was the big deal. it's nice to know after being raised by someone unbalanced, that Iended up with the sanest man on the planet.

Anonymous, Tennessee Male age 26 All my life--Left thumb. Straight, needed braces. I have a permanent callus... I usually have red marks on my thumb in bed, as I go to sleep. While watching TV. When I read. When I drive. Only when I’m alone. While masturbating ... That's a little too personal!1 hour each day Scolding Teased you Grounded you Painted my thumb with bitter solution Had metal spikes placed into my mouth by a dentist Understood and tried to help me quit (Mom) No, I wasn't abused. It's just a habit ... I can quit ... but I have chosen not to quit.Comfort, it feels good Security it's an addiction Sometime I get absolutely sick of it if I do it too much. Don’t place over nose. I do tend to like to have a blanket so that I can rub my eyelashes against it, and of course hide from any potential onlookers. I was breast fedI used a pacifier I am not a smoker addictions Perhaps, but none that I would want to admit to a total stranger ... you're lucky enough to get this information for your survey. don't know for sure and would lean towards... - not having other family members who have had addictions. (blood relatives only): I’m pretty sure! - Yes, I have known other adults who suck their thumb ... I didn't tell her that I sucked my thumb because I didn't know her well enough to do so.Plus, her friends teased her, though they weren't being mean I’m sure the words cut deep. She sucked her thumb in public, though she was trying to hide it. I believe that only my mom has caught me in my 26 years of thumbsucking, and we talked about it. She was shamed at first, but she realized that I could have had worse habits, and hasn't hassled me since. I just told her again recently because I was concerned that it might have something to do with me personally or psychologically. We have been researching together to try to find out "why" without judgment. Though I am scared to let the general population know about it, I think that I would be able to handle it well if it ever came public. - Advanced Degree: Master's of Music Education -I play an oral instrument... the saxophone! - Just Right ... though I have gained about 10 extra pounds over the last few months. Hopefully, Tae-Bo will help take care of that! :-) - White 2 of 2 Heterosexual I am single, never married I have never had a girlfriend that lasted more than two months and those were in high school. I’m a professional musician and a Christian who believes that there is only one woman for me and a hopeless romantic (bad combination), so over the last few years I haven't been grounded enough to meet someone, let alone date them. I don't know, but I bet it could (hurt ability to have a relationship). I just hope that my love for her takes over that feeling I need to suck my thumb. if that's even the reason that I do it. So I guess I could answer both of those questions ... Yes, and no, thumb sucking makes it difficult to have a relationship. Which Search Engine? AOLihope this answers most of your questions. Thanks for caring for us who do this and letting us know that we are not alone. knowing that we are not alone is half the battle. Blessings, X
