"When I went to get my braces my parents told the orthodontist about my thumb sucking. He wrote it in the chart. Well, he started asking me all these questions about it. When he left, this HOT guy from school who personally knew me (my crush) came back. Then the orthodontist came back and started talking, without looking over the chart. He read this pamphlet about devices
that can be used to make me stop sucking my thumb. And, if that wasn't bad enough, the orthodontist came back in and said, 'here is the thumb sucking appliance you wanted for her.' while he was there.

"I revealed my thumbsucking to my wife just after we met. I used to feel her crotch hair and anus hair while thumbsucking from the time we were around 20 until age 30. Then I quit for three years and, after that, started again. My wife doesn't approve of my thumbsucking anymore, so I only do it in private."


Jennifer, 24, from Georgia, has been a left thumb sucker all her life. She's looking for pen pals, so check out the pen pal section. She needed braces and her thumb looks different. She indulges in bed while going to sleep, while watching TV, and in front of friends and family. Her parents scolded her, teased her, and painting bitter solution on her thumb. Eventually her parents accepted it, even though they'll mention it to others. For Jennifer, it's just a habit she can't quit. It makes her feel good and secure, perhaps reinforced by childhood trauma. She places her finger over her nose and uses a blanket.

"Growing up, I had the cotton baby blanket with silk all the way around it. I believe that my mother had everything to do with its disappearance. She also included my friend's mother because I went to their house with it and never saw it again. I loved the way it smelled. I never wanted it to be washed, which my mother always insisted on, and it infuriated me when she did. After I lost my first blanket I made another one. I found an even bigger blanket, same fabric and silk, gotta have the silk. I never wash it. I hold the blanket up to my nose, the silk part, smelling it and feeling the coldness of the silk and moving all the way around the entire blanket. There is definitely a lot of movement. It is instant relief, but I've got to have them together or my thumb just isn't as tasty. It's got to have that certain smell."

Jennifer never used a pacifier and is a smoker.

"The year I realized how addicted I really was or how much I needed my security was when I came home from drama rehearsal and was pretty stressed out because the play we were working on was extremely depressing. I went to my room and as soon as I walked in, I noticed my blanket was gone. I can't explain in words the feeling that shot through me. Even thinking about it now makes my ears start to burn. I was PISSED OFF. I went straight to the villain, my mom, begging her for it, pleading, screaming. I actually felt like I could possibly commit crimes, ha ha. She refused to return it. I stayed up until 3 or 4 in the morning hunting for it, crying and shaking the whole time, determined to find it. I did, up in our attic. I'm scarred still today of heights. After that my mom never bothered me about it again. In fact, today I think she actually humors the idea. Than God she finally came to her senses.

"I am married now and have an 8 month old little girl. I am on my fourth blanket blanket in 24 years. That number is my husband's fault. He had never even heard of someone my age sucking their thumb and mentioned that He thought I did it for attention. What he said had an affect on me, lasting about 2 days. During those 2 days I made the horrible mistake of taking my blanket out to the burn pile and set it on fire. I put it out, then did it again. It was sad even then, but two days later I had a new one. I knew that my thumb sucking wasn't about getting attention for myself, but an outlet for the attention I didn't receive. My blanket and my thumb are like seeing a shrink in the comfort of my own personal space, wherever that may be. As soon as I smell my blanket and feel the soft silk against my face and get my delicious thumb settled in my mouth, it's like getting a hug from someone special. Things just get better inside and I think clearer, sleep easier, relax, stop hurting...the list is endless. I tell my husband, my family and friends when they ask me, 'why don't you at least wash that nasty thing,' or, 'what does it smell like to you? What do you get out of it?' I simply say, 'it smells like pure love!' I take it everywhere I go. It went to my honeymoon, my 1 year anniversary. I took it to the hospital when I had Raini, my daughter. And, when I die, it will go with me then too. Who knows, I may take it through the pearly gates. Thank you for this web page. I was so excited to actually find it. I put it in jokingly with my husband by my side. He actually says he wouldn't have me any other way."


Darren, 26, from England, started sucking his left thumb after age 3. He needed braces, but it had no affect on his thumb. He indulges in bed as he goes to sleep, while driving and only when alone. His parents scolded and teased him. He does it because it feels good, giving him a secure sense. He doesn't place his finger over his nose but used to have a blanket, losing it several years ago. He wasn't breast-fed and isn't a smoker.

"I lost my blanket, called it a cover, while I was in the hospital for a routine operation. I, with slight embarrassment, got my parents to ask the nurses for it. That was 13 years ago, and I stopped both thumb cover habits thereafter until now. I've recently started to rediscover thumb sucking and blanket holding as a depression and anxiety reliever. I'm thinking about buying myself a cover but aren't sure where I'll get one from. I'm really happy to have found this site. Great work by the way."

"I have a security blanket that I've had since I was a little girl. When I suck my thumb, I put a part of my blanket's binding between my nose and the rest of my hand and hold it to my face. It helps me get to sleep and it helps me calm down when I'm scared, sad, or just upset.

"One time I tried to sneak my blanket into school because I was upset over something that had happened that night. My former teacher, Ms. Wofford, took it away that day. Mom had to come to my school after she got out from work. She works as a teacher over at Central Junior High. She got my blanket back for me because I can't sleep without it.

"I don't know why, but every time I have a grand mal seizure, I wind up biting the shit out of my thumb because it's still in mouth at the time I have the seizure. That happened to me a few days ago and it still hurts like hell.


Eldon, 24, from Boston, Massachusetts, has been sucking both of his thumbs all his life. His teeth are straight and he never needed braces. He has red marks on his thumbs. He sucks his thumb while in bed as he goes to sleep, while working and studying, watching TV, reading and while driving. He'll only indulge while alone. He will, though, do so while having sex and/or masturbating. His parents scolded him, spanked him, teased and grounded him, told people and used bitter tasting solutions. To him, it's just a habit he can't quit, it feels good and adds to a feeling of security. He places a finger over his nose. "I started out with a beautiful white cotton Blankie with a satin fringe. All that's left of it now is a one foot piece tied around a stuffed animal's neck that I keep on the bed with me. When I was about 12, the original Blankie was retired. Not much was left. For a bigger soft Queen size blanket that I cut into sizeable pieces. My Ex also sucked her thumb and the first year we were together we bought each other new Blankies as Birthday presents. Even though we are no longer together, I still have and sleep with her present, but don't use it."

" I have two stories. the first is from when I was about 3 or 4. I was going into the living room to watch TV with my brother and sister. I took my Blankie and put it down on the floor. While laying on it thumb sucking, I pushed myself the 30 feet from my bedroom to the living room. When I hit the dining room, my mother saw me and said, 'Aren't you ever going to stop that?' I looked up and said, 'Why?' and continued on to the living room. I remember this story the most because my mom would bring it up every once in a while until I was 17 and she realized that I wasn't ever going to stop.

"My Ex and I used to lay in in bed and thumb suck while watching TV! Shortly after moving in together her brother came to visit one day to watch a football game. Both my Ex and he are major Dolphins fans and I couldn't stand sitting there with them. I went from the living room to the bedroom to watch TV there. Well, as soon as I sat down, I grabbed my Blankie and hers, called Nannie, and started sucking away. About 20 minutes later, I heard someone get up in the other room, and, thinking it was my Ex, I continued sucking. Instead, her brother walked into the bedroom and there I was with my thumb in my mouth and Nannie and my Blankie pressed to my nose. He calmly asked, 'Is that Nannie?', and when I shook my head, yes, he walked out of the room. That had to be one of the most embarrassing moments I ever had.

"I have never felt that I was different or crazy or alone in my habit. In fact, I have met many people who suck their thumb, but we never talk about it. I like it and this website. Thanks for putting it up!"

Kasia, from Indiana, is a woman, aged 22, is a left thumb sucker who has straight teeth and never needed braces though she has sucked her thumb her whole life. She partakes while in bed going to sleep, while watching TV, reading, driving, with friends and family [how lucky can she get!! Ed.]. Her parents didn't care. She ts's because it feels good and for security. She places a finger over her nose and has a "sleepy blanket". Concerning her "sleepy" she states that, "At one point it was a pink satin blanket but now it's a scrap of barely pink mostly off-white satin with a knot at the top." She goes on to say,

"My grandmother hated my sucking my thumb and having a sleepy blanket. When I was 11 she took me to France with her and one afternoon we went to visit the Eiffel Tower. While we were on the second tier of the tower my grandmother reached into my pocket and pulled out my sleepy blanket and through it over the edge of the tower. I was terror-stricken. I cried and asked her why she did that but she was merely indignant. I watched sleepy fall to the ground and remembered where it had hit.

"We proceeded to spend the next four hours on the tower. We had lunch and went to the very top. As we got off the elevator at the bottom I broke free of my grandmother's hand and ran for where I had seen sleepy land and found him. My grandmother was so pissed off but I didn't care. I had sleepy and in defiance I sucked my thumb and held my dirty sleepy blanket all the way home right in front of her on the metro.

"I love sucking my thumb. It calms me down. Because I suck my thumb I don't smoke and don't need to eat that often to make me feel good. My mother always raised me to be proud of myself and never made me feel bad about my thumb, hence I have no bad feelings about it now."


John, is a left thumb sucker who partakes in bed as he goes to sleep and as he works and studies [another good reason to work at home, eh? ed.]. He only ts-es when alone, however. His parents scolded him, teased him, painted bitter solution on his thumb, told people about it but he perservered and remained true to his convictions. Today thumb sucking is "just a habit I can't quit". He places his finger over his nose and hold a blanket, rubbing it while he sucks.


Jessie, age 19 has sucked her thumb her whole life. Nevertheless, she's never needed braces, having straight teeth. She does, though, have a permanent callus on her right thumb. She engages in this wonderfully relaxing behavior as she goes to sleep, while watching TV and when alone. She'll also feel the urge while having sex or masturbating. Her parents scolded her, spanked her, painted bitter solutions on her thumb but "it feels good" and leaves her too secure to give in to their pressure. She places a finger over her nose.

"When I was younger, like 10 or 11, my grandma told me not to worry about it 'cause her sister sucked her thumb 'til she was 13. But the day I turned 13 everybody just turned harsh to me, embarrassing me in front of people, trying to make me want to stop. So I just went secret with it. I let them think I quit." [Just like most of us I guess. ed.]


Alfonso, age 40, sucked both his thumb his whole life. He needed braces but his habit has had no effect on his thumb. He likes to indulge in bed as he goes to sleep or while watching TV, reading and only when he's alone. His parents scolded him and put bitter tasting solution on his thumbs. He sucks his thumb because it feels good. He finds it most comfortable to place his finger over his nose. "The first time my wife caught me was embarrassing. She never quite got over it and thought less of me for it.... I'm the oldest child in my family and my brother used to tease me sometimes or tell my friends. My parents used barriers,. . lace, cotton gloves around my wrists and tied knots in the laces. I wonder if there's a connection between thumbsucking and other oral fixations. I love lots of different foods and flavors and my favorite sexual activity is c---------s. These days playing with my moustache and sniffing the back of my left hand are slightly more acceptable public variations on thumbsucking. I was strictly a bottle fed baby."


John, from California, is age 16 and has been a thumbsucker all his life. He never had braces but has a permanent callus on his right thumb.

The survey is a little rigid; I should clarify a few of my answers. My bottom teeth are crooked but my top teeth are nice. (I only wore my top retainer.) My parents tried to get me to quit (nicely, except for that goo they put on my thumb) when I was being ostracized at school, but gave up as they saw I wouldn't couldn't quit. And as far as the masturbating question goes; I don't suck my thumb while I masturbate, but I used to fondle my p**** with my other hand, sort of like the way some people rub their ear or play with their hair. Honestly, I'm not sure whether I still do. You should add an "in or out of the closet" question. I'm pretty much in the closet. P.S. Not only does Suzanne Sommers have the same birthday as I do (10 16) she's also a thumbsucker? Eerie.

My favorite places to suck my thumb are in bed as I go to sleep, as I work or study, when I read, and when I drive. My parents reaction to my thumbsucking was to scold me. I suck my thumb for comfort-it feels good! I suck my left thumb, and I do have a favorite blanket to use. I also like to suck my thumb while I masturbate.
