Things you like the feel of, but just can't explain exactly why…

I found a lovely chunk of white quartzite on a hilltop and had it as a “paperweight” on my office desk. I’d just stroke it whenever I was wishing I was outdoors

I do like the feel of my dogs ears.
He doesn’t like mine!

There is nothing better in life,
Than writing on the sole of your slipper with a biro,
On a Saturday night instead of going to the pub.

there’s some weird people on here

Have you always been a bit slow to catch on? 😛

That nose hair pulling though,that’s just wrong.

Ahhhhhhh, the banana still has the skin on, that makes more sense now

Cracking my joints

Slowly Un sticking the coin purse from the inner thigh

Nettle stings

Making my knuckles interlock like the teeth of a zipper.

Ah, the nose hair thing. I believe there is a natural cycle of growth. They never reach enormous length, so I think they shed at a determined point. When they reach that length they loosen and irritate, which makes the act of removal so satisfying.

As for that favorite yet unexplained feeling..mine is the crease at the back of my head after shaving it ( with the tiniest hint of stubble)

Totally with you on the washing machine capsules.
Feel the lovely squishiness.

Nose hair pulling here also, intense pain and pleasure at the same time.
When I was little pre duvet years I had blankets with a satiny finish at the top, used to run this between my fingers.
Dogs ears too.

Cold AA battery up a nostril

Do you chaps have black leather wall paper and a selection of whips as well

bubble wrap

Damn, beaten to it! First thing I thought of when I saw the ‘nana post.
Trouble is finding slippers with the sort of beige rubber sole you can write on.
Haven’t had a pair for donks.
I’ve got a pebble I picked up from the beach last time I was in Devon, it’s very smooth, almost perfectly circular, and lens-shaped; and a very satisfying thing to hold in the hand and play with.

My kids call them “eyeballs”.

I like to run my fingers over my six pack, come to think of it the other half quite enjoys it as well.

I wish you’d just stick to helpful woodburner advice sometimes.

Nose hair & mouse balls for me. Followed by the soup.

When I was in my teens / early 20s and had long hair I would constantly twiddle a strand between my fingers. Loved it. When my daughters were little I used to twiddle theirs to make up for my loss of hair. Until they got older and told me to bugger off.

Nowadays I’m always running my fingernails through my eyebrow. Right hand / right eyebrow only. Never the left.

I like the touch of fresh plaster. Still a bit damp but smooth as glass. Lovely.

Smoothing out the wrinkles from one of these…

No. One of these.

Yes, I like this too although one has to be careful as it soon goes warm and tastes like soap 😉

Agree on the nose hair. A bit like running your tongue lightly on the roof of your mouth. Tickles to the point of pain.

Another one is blowing through tightly squeezed lips. You know when it is done right as it sounds like blowing through a blade of grass and tickles intensly.

Also seem to use a lot of PVA glue when the need arises. Seems to go all over my hands, dry and then require peeling off.

Pooping.

I don’t want to know why though.

1. In Canada, there was a type of ‘squishy’ ice that would form over puddles in the spring, when it was no longer so cold that the ice just became brittle. We would practically race to get to be the first to stand on it, as it felt wonderful gently giving way beneath your feet.

2. The ears of my toddlers. I love rubbing the top bit between my thumb and forefinger.

3. Beard hair plucking, for the pleasurable pain.

stirring the uncooked rice that’s kept in a tupperware* container with my finger, also holding the square on the ratchet driver and swinging it back and forth so it makes the ratcheting noise while I’m thinking…

*other clear plastic containers with close fitting lids are available

+2 biro on banana skin
Equally pleasant is biro on the sole of a slipper with a rubber sole

+15 on using a biro on bananas.

I would constantly twiddle a strand between my fingers.
Tick…first my mums hair as a baby, then mine when it grew long enough, then the wife’s when I started getting mine cut short, although I seem to have grown out of it now. Its the sensation of cold hair sliding between the base of your fingers.

A new one…peeling set PVA glue off your arm/hand. As kids we used to slather it over a hand or palm and then sit cross legged on the floor in assembly and spent the entire duration gradually peeling it off 🙂

Dead mans finger – you need someone else to make it work. With your partner place your palms together so fingers are mirrored then rub the two index fingers that are joined facing each other using your finger and thumb, one on the outside of opposing fingers. Dead mans finger you have!

Watching TV sitting upside down on the sofa.

That clear flexiglue they use to stick things on magazines.

Making little cubes out of blutac.

I used to love the tactility of opening a new pack of 20 Marlboro Lights. The film, the perfectly folded cardboard lid, the cool foil, the raisiny smell of the unlit cigs….

Can’t stand cigs or smoking these days….

There are indeed some weird people here.

Drumming an unopened Pringle cannister.

Doing the wineglass noise thing.

These are I should point out perfect acts of a fully functioning normal person – just saying.

Getting into a really cold bed in winter. Love it!.

repeatedly stretching out blu-tack until it goes all fluffy and soft

underboob

tickling the roof of your mouth with your tongue

Pulling laces out from under your feet when you put shoes or boots on.

I too do the trichotillomania thing with my nasal and beard hair. I do it less often now after I ended up with a small bald patch on my top lip!

Clicky things. It’s got to be the right kind of click mind you, but once you get a good one it’s almost irresistible.

I like the feel of the tingling you get after being stung by nettles.

This is gold.

Nose pubes? No one is alone in that – Ever shaken a hot desking keyboard upside down on a white desk?

When I used to shave my legs, getting into bed afterwards was always the best bit.

Brushing my teeth in the same pattern every morning.

Though, like many things in this thread, that’s probably more an example of autistic spectrum behaviour than just “liking” something.

straightening a paperclip

“flossing” bacon from between my teeth with a £20 note or train ticket.

And of course:

– plucking beard hair out of my chin scar.

– yanking nose hair

– plucking my Dennis Healeys
