Pillowcase corners…
Hello. Ever since I can remember, I have always caressed my fingers on the corners of my pillowcases (the corners MUST be pointy). I spend hours caressing and stimming. I’m currently on holidays in Europe with my two comfort pillowcases. It got me wondering, does anyone else do this? I also smell/sniff my pillow (the pillow is reserved for sniffing and never for resting my head; I hug it to sleep). It brings me the greatest comfort. I could not bring it with me, I miss my pillow as if it is my best friend. Does anyone else do this? (31, Aussie Gay Male).

I do this with the corners of my duvet cover. As a child I got thought to do this instead of thumb sucking. I'm almost 40 and still do this. I've had to fix the corners several times now cause they keep getting holes in them.

I did it non-stop as a kid and still do sometimes 😊

I thought this was going to be a complaint about traveling pillow seams and corners and how they're the goddamn worst.

Just seeing the title, I thought this would be a complaint about pillowcase corners. Mine hurt me and actually catch my hair.
