    Hi Guys, I'm so pleased to have found other guys who like short bitten nails. Mine are very short, it would be interesting to hear from others and why they like to bite. Cheers Steve

    I used to bite my nails a lot when I was a kid but was kinda forced to stop because a teacher in my high school had a rule against biting fingernails. He was repulsed by it to the point when he sees you doing it he will call you out on it in front of everyone. He was a cool teacher though except he had little quirks like that. Because of him I stopped for awhile and now I only bite my nails when I'm anxious/nervous or when my hands are dry from work and there's loose skin but there's no clipper around me.

    It's a fetish if it turns you on.

    If not it's just a weird habit.

    Sometimes I do if they're very long, I realize and don't have nail clippers.

    Under your nails is a cesspool of bacteria and viruses, things get trapped in it, so it really is the last thing you wanna put in your mouth. Most people don't wash under their nails so their fingers are filthy basically forever.

    I'd love to share nail biting in the manner you described.

    ^ Please contact a doctor so that he may help me breathe again because that made me laugh a little way too much.

    I unfortunately bite my nails, because it's turned into a habit.

    Honestly a part of me thinks it's best if I bite my nails because I've had horrible experiences with nail cutters before...

    I don't fetish it, though... xD and I'm trying to stop, as well. I hear it's bad for your teeth.

    I do, but I got that habit from my mom as a little kid. It's hard to really shake.

    I sometimes bite my nails, but I only bite the white parts off, the parts I usually clip with a nail clipper anyway. I tend to bite my nails when I'm nervous about something. I also bite the skin around my nails, especially when I'm concentrating on something :icon_redf

    I'm the same way. All that work, all that time letting them grow out, gone before I even realize what I'm doing in a stressful moment. I'm embarrassed about it too because I feel like a kid, or that it somehow marks me as immature and lacking self control. But I don't ever let them get too long anyways because it's hard to play guitar and do other things with long nails. :wink:

    I've been a nail biter since I was like 6 or 7. At one time, I had warts around half of my fingernails from biting them. I'm not much a nail biter now, but I do keep my nails super short to stop me from biting them. I don't like painting them, because I hand wash my dishes (I don't own a washing machine) and chipped polish annoys me. Like if it's chipped even a little bit, I have to take the whole nail of nail polish off and repaint it. I've tried glue on nails, but I don't like the feel of them.

    Bitten nails were a big problem for me a few years ago. I always thought my nails were so dirty and ugly, but I couldn't stop biting them.
    Now I have to be careful and trim my nails regularly so that I don't hurt myself by scratching my skin. I have an awful lot of allergies and don't like taking medicine.

    I never have bitten my nails, but I do occasionally use my other nails to pull off long nails. My parents honestly say all women want nails like mine. They get long and grow very well.

    I just cut my nails short. For some reason my nails grow really tough and smooth so it's hard to bite them even if I tried.
