Ok. Since I was little I've had ear infections (who hasn't, right). I remember after getting over the infections I'd stick things in my ear. It started with pencils...dull not sharp. Well after a few times hitting my ear drum (very painful) I stopped. But I went to rolling up paper towel, tissue and toilet paper and sticking it in my ear. And the feeling is almost better than sex. I still do this from time to time. It's like I'm addicted to the feeling. It's been going on since I was little until now. (I'm 26) I'm still doing it. I don't feel any threat. I can still hear. But why can't I stop? Even talking about playing in my ear makes me want to do it. I've never seen anyone with the same quirk as me. But do you think it's ok? They say you shouldn't stick anything in your ear smaller than an elbow but the feeling is wonderful. Any thoughts?

How on earth can you kill yourself by sticking tissue in your ear and pulling it out????

People have quirks...just be careful that what you stick in there won't hurt you (either through infection or damaging your ear drum).
People stick things in their orifices all the time. The guy next to me at the office sticks things in his nose all the time...eww...

I'm just the opposite. I can't have anything or anyone touching my ears. I hate it! I had the ear infections and mine was so bad that my eardrum burst. I have some hearing problems because of it, too.
I don't really know the exact reason why it feels so good for you to put things in your ears. It could be that your ears are your most active erogenous zone. I think I'm jealous!
I think it's hard for you to stop because of the fact that it does feel so good for you. As long as nothing gets stuck in there, you should be ok. Stick to larger things that you have control over.
If it really concerns you a lot, see your doctor about it.

Most probably a physiological thing,most people that have a reoccurring problem with one part of their body will focus on that body part in a more pronounced way just to make sure everything is OK. If this problem persist and there is no real physical problem,and it is really bothering you, you might want to see a shrink.

i hope u are doing it only when you are alone..coz most people when they see you doing that always wud say u are crazy.
well, there is no harm donig it if you are doing it with soft things...anyway you know what the best method is to satisfy any urge!!... by doing it .... so keep doing ..experiment.....do it continuously for an hour...may be you'll fell more satisfied....and then someday you will get bored by it.
And then when when you feel that there is no excitement left in this, you are out of this habit.
