Yea he knows its coming every time i come in contact with him haha, so at least he already knows what to look for

Wow, I wish I had your boyfriend! (Or somebody like him) If he will let you bite him, I think there's a guy out there that won't think I'm a freak.

You might want to try assorted toughnesses of aquarium tubing. They come in different amounts of toughness and you can choose which one to get, and it is cheap and easily replaced.

Also of course reducing stress and overload could do it whether it's from ticcing or not (at least my far more mild than yours ticcing becomes anything but mild under stress). But that's not always possible.

wow...I've been known to bite but only when angry...actually, my idiot ex got his nipple mutilated be me when he tried to hit me...

Anyway, I used to bite others or myself, but only when angry... I don't anymore, but maybe it's because I didn't smoke before and now I do...hmmm

I used to have a horrible biting problem, and it would come upon me without me expecting it, if that makes sense. I'd be standing there, not stressed, not anxious, nothing, and the next thing I knew I'd be latched on to a co-worker. It got so bad that my manager said "The next time you bite someone, I am going to have to fire you" and I stopped (at work). But I know exactly what you mean, it's completely a texture thing. It's a nice sensation to bite on flesh. Now I have a boyfriend who is very nice and lets me bite him when I need to, but I have enough control that I don't think I hurt him. I'm pretty sure I don't hurt him.

Never give up hope, there are ppl amazing as him out there, believe me. I never ever thought i find somebody like him. For instance right now hes cleaning up glass i broke. I like opening and closing things, and it was a huge candle in glass, and it shattered everywhere, and got all over me, and i just stood there kept playing, didnt notice any pain hahaha. Meanwhile as hes cleaning it up im jumping up all around him asking him to play cards lool. There is hope. I'm not the highest functioning at all, and he knows that, but doesnt give up.

Funnily enough, my pet parrot has the exact same problem as you. Have you tried biting zippers? My parrot can chew those for hours without breaking them.

I'm glad you found a bf who will allow you to bite him, mine still hates it, but idk what else to do. I mean he doesnt get angry, just annoys him i guess.

It sounds like you have a lot of anxious energy built up. I recommend running every morning, or try hitting a boxing bag until you're worn out. Take up a sport! Wearing a boxer's mouthpiece may prevent you from biting, so you could try wearing that to help get you off of the habit.

Maybe you could direct that energy against opponents in sports instead of using it to bite objects.

Be careful what you choose to chew on. Many objects have dangerous chemicals and others can really ruin your teeth due to the stuff they release when chewed + have saliva acting on them.

Maybe you could try some hard/chewy foods?

Beef jerky.. you can actually buy some of the 'extra tough' kind

There is a candy that is sold that is VERY thick and hard to bite on..it does not stick to itself (aka wont pull your teeth out) but it gives you a hard time chewing it.

...or you can hire me as your personal chef and I guarantee you a constant supply of really tough to chew on meals. ;)

So as to prevent you from gaining weight from constant munching on that you could also alter your eating habits to eat just salads and stuff on 'meal time' and get your protein/meats from chewing on the tough food/beef jerky kind of stuff the entire day.
