Chin stubble is my hand’s scratching post.

I do not even understand why would you do it

[-] FireIced@lemmy.super.ynh.fr 4 points 2 months ago

Weirdly it makes it a loss less itchy and feels so good

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

loss less itchy

I too only take my itchiness in FLAC

[-] Dicska@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I wonder if it's in the saliva.

[-] FireIced@lemmy.super.ynh.fr 0 points 2 months ago

Damn my dick is itchy 😳

I don’t even understand what she’s doing. Biting herself as a distraction? Scratching her palm with her teeth? I don’t know anyone who does this.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Sometimes scratching just isn't cutting it, and the human brain is...well it's something and it tells me bite the itch cause teeth are stronger and you try and it doesn't help.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

The nails... They tickle.... The itch is deeper, towards the bone... USE YOUR TEETH.

[-] thejml@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Oh, but it does. It helps soooo much. Something about the pinpoint pressure in just the right spot just hits so good… But you can’t just keep biting it forever, and generally the itch comes back again soon after.

[-] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Well based on votes I’m in the minority. Never heard of this. Whatever works!

[-] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

It's so itchy you bite it to make that spot painful just for a bit to override the itchiness.

[-] blackbelt352@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE???

But seriously though there's something about a palm being itchy, especially the thicker pad where the hand begins to transition into the wrist that just is so much more persistent than anywhere else.

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 2 months ago

Why would I lie? I o, heck yeah!

puts itching powder on the small of your back

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 0 points 2 months ago

oh the old make something else worse to relieve the first thing. Don't know if it will help. Its been itchy like that since puberty.

[-] lath@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Old puritan folklore had it that masturbating would cause hair to grow on one's palm and the intense itching was a sign that someone was doing the deed. Which called for a whooping.

[-] thefartographer@lemm.ee 0 points 2 months ago

And the whooping is supposed to make me... stop?

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Depends.....are they wearing leather?

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago

But I do a little gnarl and you don't.

[-] spittingimage@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I do, and I'm not even ashamed of it.

[-] rockstarmode@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

People have itchy palms? Itchy enough that they bite them?

That's fucking weird.

That's literally never happened to me, it sounds super strange. Are y'all putting stuff on your hands that's tearing up your skin? Do you moisturize regularly?

I have sensitive skin, but spend a lot of time in a kitchen with wet hands. Unscented soap to wash my hands about a dozen times a day, and unscented moisturizer to keep my skin from cracking. I'll use a thicker waxy moisturizer during the winter when it's really dry out.

I use my hands for weightlifting and golf, so I have to manage my callouses, and in the kitchen I'll pick up various small cuts and burns. My hands don't look perfect but they've never.. itched?

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Your comment makes you seem shocked like a victorian era man seeing a woman's bare ankle in public.

[-] rockstarmode@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I don't know why, but ok?

Itchy palms sounds more like an allergic reaction than a common issue.

[-] untorquer@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

That's a good example of what i mean. Allergic reactions are common issues.

It's normal to not have an itch and it's normal to itch. Both can be true simultaneously and neither is weird.

Granted it's a comment on Lemmy but at a larger scale this kind of incredulous comment can reinforce stigmas.

[-] harmsy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Only after cutting up bell peppers without using gloves. The stabbing itch from that is unlike anything else I know.

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago
[-] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

That's why you do it with your teeth.
Weirdo.
