Eh, I'll refrain from posting an answer there but I can tell you that in my experience that isn't as abnormal as you'd think. It's a pretty strange compulsion to be sure but you'd be surprised how many people do it. And no, I don't partake in this behavior.
And like so many other odd behaviors, it's only sick if people find out about it.
Ya know, I was thinking about it and I'm surprised I haven't stumbled upon an online community for people like this. Not that I've been looking but damn, once you see people that like to inflate balloons inside themselves or fantasize about being stepped on by a giant, this seems par for the course.
When I'm stressed I find myself plucking out beard hairs and eating the root of it. And yes, I know that's disgusting. And yes, I'm sorry I placed that particular image in your heads.
On the positive side, you can tell how stressed I am by the amount of my chin you can see.
btw, if you're ever desperate for a buzz, don't bother smoking your toenails, scabs, or earwax. They don't do anything!
Nor does snorting your dandruff or shooting up liquified boogers. Vomit shots at first seem like they do something, but really that's just you getting sick from being disgusted at drinking your own vomit.
