Is it normal to suck your thumb at the age of 18?

It has become a habit, and habits are hard to break. Carry around lollipops or gum or something, and whenever you get the urge to put your thumb in your mouth, put something else in instead. Eventually you will get used to not sucking your thumb, and won't feel the need to do it anymore. But that may be trading one bad habit for another. If you can find the strength in yourself to say no to your thumb sucking, then that would be best. I have this bad habit of running loose string under my fingernails, I've never tried to stop it because I think it is harmless, so when I get the urge, I just satisfy it. But if I did have a reason to stop, I'm sure I could say no to the urges, and they will get weaker and weaker until they are gone.

Only normal if there is sauce on it.

I suck my thumb too... 17 years old. I think it's normal as there are plenty of people who still do it, but I have teeth problems and I'm always worried that I'm going to end up sucking my thumb in front of someone without realising, as with a lot of bad habits I don't really notice I'm dong it! I wear woollen gloves when I am watching tv or in bed, as this is when I tend to suck my thumb. Apparently it only takes 21 days to give up a habit, so I'm going to keep trying (although I've been trying since I was 10!). Good luck!

I knew a girl back in highschool that always sucked her thumb.... But then again she was always sucking dick.

This site is a piece of shit

I had a gf 18, that used to suck her thumb all the time. It was hit a little. eventualy I joked that if I caught her doing it, she had to suck my thumb. I did, and she reluctantly sucked my thumb.
I Kept it clean when we were together, as she liked to suck it. One night we rented a movie,and she fell asleep on my lap sucking my thumb. I was watching movie, and didn't notice at first. The movie on had hot chics and I was getting hot. As she was sleeping on my stomach, I risked all and pulled out my dick, and slowly replaced my thumb with my dick.
Ever time I moved she would start sucking, then eventually stop. so when I swapped my dick for my thumb, she did the same thing. I seemed to have pulled it off. I tested her by stopping and she eventually fell into deep sleep again. I dreaded the large size different between my thumb and dick would wake her out of it but it didn't and she did the same thing she did with my thumb, rubbing her toungue up and down the side of it.
I had to cum so bad, and couldn't decide to leave it or pull out. We hadn't had sex yet, so this was a big deal.
I had actually decided to pull out, but was frozen, not moving to ensure she fell back into deep sleep. her mouth went slack, but then suddenly, and tightened her lips and sucked hard, rubbing her toungue again. I was at point of no return, and came hard in her mouth. She continued to suck, then slowed and stopped again. I don't know how long I sat frozen, before I slowly pulled my now soft dick out. It kinda fell out. I cleaned her up with my hand, and tried to get up to getsomething else to wipe her off, when she woke up. She was half asleep, and said we need to got to bed. She smacked her lips, made a curious face, and I put her to bed. Next day she questioned what we ate night before, as she had strange taste in her mouth. Almost made me cum again hearing that...

Many women I've dated were still sucking their thumb, usually when asleep so, yes, it's normal. What isn't normal was one woman who used to put HER thumb in MY mouth while I was asleep. This went on for the 2-1/2 years we dated and when it was over I couldn't sleep without a thumb in my mouth, mine. :(

Dude I sucked my thumb til age 20! And in front of homies, boyfriends, anybody really.. What made me finally stop was I got braces and it just didn't feel right after that. My thumb no longer fit snug in my mouth anymore.

people ask the most OBVIOUS questions! Get off of this site if ur gonna make urself look stupid!!!

Nope. It's a fixation that you need to get rid of.

I've known ppl in their 30's that still suck their thumbs when stressed or concentrating . It's better than biting your fingernails down till they bleed ( and sometimes get infected )
like a few ppl I know .

It can't be that strange. I didn't stop sucking my thumb until around 14 or 15. I saw this one girl sucking her thumb at the lunch table in the 9th grade. Also, someone that works with my Mom still sucks her thumb, and she's in her 40's. It seems like it's more common with females.

I just lost the urge as I matured. The main reason was because I grew out of it, but it took some will power, too.

I oppose.

I think that you have problem man

You should really try to quit!!! ASAP it's bad for your teeth (obviously) and for your thumb (thins out). And it's jus not right, poor heigene too.

I did it until I was 18. It's like a security blanket. Best feeling in the world yeah!! But I quit because it's no good for your teeth and bad habits should be broken. The only way to fix it is to put a condom on your thumb.

No, though I do have a hairdresser, whom I believe is in her 30's now, who has admitted to still sucking her thumb.

Well Im older than you OP and I still do it. Though only when I go to sleep. And I guess I got lucky enough that it didnt mess up my teeth. I also know someone older than me that does it. That person is in their late 30s I think. Normal? I dont know. Common? Yes

It's nothing to be ashamed of because we all have our unique qualities, but you should try to find somethings else that comforts you.

I dated a guy like that.

So, I guess it's more normal that you'd think.

He said one arm is for cuddling me, the other is for sucking his thumb.

No it's not normal.

Good for you.
