Pulling thick beard hairs can be an interesting sensation, both for the person doing the pulling and the person on the receiving end. Here’s a bit more about it:
1. Sensory Experience
- For you: Pulling thick beard hairs can feel oddly satisfying because of the texture and the amount of resistance you get from the hair. It’s a bit like pulling on a thick rope or fabric, and the sensation can trigger a variety of physical reactions, sometimes like ASMR (autonomous sensory meridian response) where it might feel tingly or calming.
- For your partner: Depending on how gently or roughly it’s done, your boyfriend might find it either pleasurable or uncomfortable. A gentle tug may be relaxing, but a harder pull can be painful, especially with thicker hair.
2. Why It Happens
- Beard Hair Growth: Beard hairs tend to be thicker and coarser than head hair, which can make the sensation more intense when pulled.
- Stimulating Follicles: Pulling hair activates the hair follicle, which sends signals to the nervous system. For some, it can feel like a quick “shock” to the skin. Some people enjoy this brief pain or stimulation, but others may not.
3. Considerations
- Comfort Level: It’s important to gauge how much your partner enjoys it. Some people may love the sensation of having their beard pulled, while others might find it irritating or uncomfortable, especially if the hair is pulled too hard.
- Skin Sensitivity: The skin underneath a beard can be more sensitive than the rest of the face, so it’s good to be cautious. If you’re not careful, pulling on beard hairs too aggressively can cause redness, discomfort, or even ingrown hairs.
4. Bonding or Playful Behavior
- If it’s part of a playful, affectionate interaction between you two, it can be a cute way to bond. It can even be a funny, lighthearted way of showing closeness or affection, as long as it’s done gently and both partners are enjoying it.
Do you do it often, or is it something that happens once in a while?
