Did anyone used to "hand lick" as a Stim?

I haven't stopped it yet, though I do it only when no one can see.

actually, yes.

i also have always..... smelled the backs of my hands for some reason. i find the scent of my skin comforting . i would probably like other people's skin scents too, but i don't think i could get away with smelling someone else's hands!! !

EDIT: i also like to leave my hands damp after i wash them

I think I might have done that when I was younger...

I really can't stand the feeling of dry hands though, so I constantly wash my hands, which makes them dry (as in xeroderma) and the sensation even worse. I don't like the sticky feeling of lotion, so I only put on lotion when it gets really bad.

That's like me, too...although, I'd never heard of 'xeroderma' before, however now that you mention it, it's possible that I also have it.- My skin peels A LOT and gets itchy sometimes; particularly with my hands. I too, have opted to use lotion, but only when it gets unbearable.

Now that I think about it more, I used to use my teeth to pull the little hairs off the top of my hands and on my fingers. I got scolded for it so often that I eventually broke the habit, and then I started in on chewing the inside of my mouth instead. I completely forgot about that.
