I have a problem with mastication. I can’t seem to stop. I do it at least three times a day. I seem to get urges to masticate as soon as I get up and at regular times throughout the rest of the day. Sometimes I masticate for a long time, up to thirty minutes or so at a time, and sometimes I just masticate for a few minutes. I’ve been told that it’s normal to masticate, that everyone does it. But, do they do it several times a day, every day? I try to resist the urges to masticate, but they get too strong to ignore. Especially when they have all sorts of commercials on TV that are designed to stimulate the desire to masticate. Maybe I need help with my mastication problem. I’ve even tried to cut down on my mastication, but in the end I always succumb to the primal masticatory urges. Maybe I am normal, maybe everyone masticates, maybe mastication is just a normal bodily function. In fact, maybe it’s unhealthy to not masticate.
So, do you guys masticate? Do you feel that you masticate too much?
just so there’s no confusion:
masticate(verb) - to chew ones food
