    Hi

    does anyone here bite their fingernails really short? I have such a bad fetish for bitten nails and absolutely love them! it sounds strange but its a fetish of mine and wondered if anyone else shares the same fetish?

    I do, but I notice I only do it when I'm stressed. I bite them so low they bleed then I start on the skin around them.

    I am a nail biter. I even chew on the skin around the nails when I run out of my nail supply :icon_redf. I want to stop, but I honestly consider it a coping mechanism because I am naturally a stressed and anxious person. Sometimes I bite them till they bleed a bit. I don't want them to get that bad, but it's sometimes irresistible.

    My dad is the same way and he also bites his nails (but doesn't bite the skin or has them bleed), so it may have been something I picked up environmentally/genetically :lol:.

    Interesting article on NPR about nail biting. Nail Biting: Mental Disorder Or Just A Bad Habit? : Shots - Health News : NPR

    I actual would bite my nails until they bled, and then one day I randomly stopped, didn't know how or why.

    The only time I bite my nails is while watching sporting events, they should be pretty short after these next few weeks.

    This is me. From early childhood. But I've gotten better in recent years: I'll be really good for several days, and then at a stressful moment, discover that I've gone and done it again. I'm 47 and would *love* a way to get rid of this habit (although short fingernails do have some advantages, with a female partner *wink*).

    To the OP...yes, you are dead-on: it sounds strange. You give me hope and inspiration that I may defeat this yet.

    It's just a habit by now. The rare times I actually let them grow, I think they look a lot better but it also is so....tempting to just bite them off again. Right now they are grown a bit but I still have a habit of like gently grinding on them so I don't bite them off again(for now, haha) but don't see it lasting long. >_<

    I also have a fetish for short bitten nails. My ultimate fetish is to meet a fellow nail bitter so we could bite and chew on each others nails..
