I like to pick @ my gums?


Question:
Hi. I'm not into pain / leather whips and paddles lol ...but I have always liked
the feeling I get when I pick @ my gums.

It doesn't feel like pain ...
This sounds weird --but for eg. The pain you get when you fall off your bike or bang your toe, is not the same sensation I get when I pick my gums ... It's difficult to describe because it is a type of pain I'm feeling (obviously) but it feels good ...

I know there are other ppl who enjoy this too ...I don't like mutulating myself in any way --but is there any medical or pschological reason that I could attribute to this ?

IDK, but be careful of bleeding. If plaque or germs from ur mouth gets into ur gums and ur bloodstream, u will develop heart disease; or sepsis--a serious life threatening infection of the blood.
