[Closed] Things you like the feel of, but just can't explain exactly why...

Weirdo. Put the ball to one side and enjoy picking the fluff off the rollers.

Jabbing myself in the gums with a toothpick.

Not now but as a child I liked the feel if the edging/piping on my vests. I would sit and stroke it for hours.

Now I still like BluTac.

I agree with the mouse ball, I think it's the satisfying heft for a relatively small object.

newtons.

A hoof in the slats, not really just like the phrase 😆

pudding

Rubbing my thumbnail on my bottom lip, after I've buffed the nail to a high shine using one of those 4-sided jobbies from The Body Shop. Don't knock it 'till you've tried it.

Writing on a banana with a biro.

Awesome 🙂

Biro/banana

Edit - Great minds, Neal!

I fold bits of paper into triangles and scratch my fingertips with the points.

Receipts work best, but are even better when they've been sat on in a back pocket for a few days.

I like pushing at the edge of my 'tache* with my tongue.

*inclusive with winter beard, not a solo item.

letting a shatterproof ruler fall very gently from one end onto a smooth desk. Almost completely silent. Used to spend entire maths lessons doing this.

Edit - Great minds, Neal!

It's so good I've ditched email, and all my correspondence is now done by doodled bananas in the post 🙂

I'm going to suggest the one that all men know, usually when alone and watching TV or with the wife on the next sofa, if they are allowed, lol. You know of the pleasure of which I speak: cup them, squidge them, move them around... the warmer the looser. 😕 😀

Mmmm.... Squishy.

tracing the edge of a paper seal on in jar with my thumb nail.

Cricket balls. I have one on my desk that's been here 10 years, it's my equivalent of a stress ball.

Also, a slightly folder paper clip run through my hair. It kind of pull on a nice way which I quite like.

The pads on cat's paws.

plucking hairs out of my beard, very satisfying, especially when thinking hard.

The pads on cat's paws.

Yes!

Knotting crisp packets.

Meat in a plastic bag... Especially if it's any kind of offal...

And propelling pencils... I like to click them, draw with them or just generally fondle their deceptively ample heft.

I thought I was alone!

Favorite so far (apart from Jekkyls...) is the banana, just tried it for the first time and it's epic!

My wife rubs her finger on her eyebrow, so much so that one rubbed out!

Thanks for sharing!

Oh, oh, oh, anyone else like pulling hairs out of their nose?

It hurts, makes you sneeze and cry but it's addictive as hell!

+1 sas but it doesn't make me sneeze/cry (I'm tough 😉 )

Running my tooth along my finger nail

Blutac

Clicking my tongue off the sharp bit of a chipped molar (Except if I do it too much, it cuts my tongue 😐

I use a wooden coffee stir-er stick thingymubob to run through my hair...

Blutac

My velvet codpiece,i wear it everywhere,though it comes to something when you cant even put a pack of chilled sausages in there to cool down on a warm summers day,tesco security really need to chill out.

Folding tin foil then ripping it along the fold.

I must admit to the nose hair pulling 😳

I put them on a piece of white paper to see how many I've yanked out.

Oooh! Oooh! I've got one...

Cross your fingers and then shut your eyes and run a pencil in between your crossed fingers like this.
How many pencils can you feel?
Weird, No?

I like the feel of smooth white clothing labels. Always have done.

Smoothing out the wrinkles from one of these...

are you watching me? 😯

that's exactly what I was doing while reading this, I have a pile of them on my desk from the last few weeks...

[img] [/img]

are you watching me?

Yes. Yes, I am.....now stop stroking that and get back to work. 😉

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.

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

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]I would constantly twiddle a strand between my fingers.[/i]
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
