its thier safty spot, everyone has some kind of a glitch to help them unwind, relax, or to give them some kind of a pleasure or reassurence. alot of people still do somthing from when they were young, as a form of a security, a place in time when everything was ok and stressfree.

Probably out of habit. I used to have a blanket with silk on the edges, to this day, if I feel that same silk (usually in coat linings or pockets) I find my self rubbing it between my fingers like I did when I was a kid. It's not conscious, I just do it.

Just a habit. If HE wants to break the habit, he can apply chili powder, or something that has a taste he can't stand, throughout the day until he has broken the habit. If HE doesn't want to break the habit, leave him alone.

It could have to do with making them feel comfortable, a soothing technique to help relieve stress, or just a bad habit that won't go away!

For the same reason that someone apparently grown-up would spell "their" as "there." They need to grow up.
