Hey, how come other people can openly talk about how much they love to pop zits, but I can’t pick at my own scabs without people jumping all up in my face about how gross I am? A little bit of blood under the nails never hurt anyone… Whoops, sorry - hijack over, nothing more to see here. Move along, folks. ---

I have actually daydreamed about being very very small and popping zits with a shovel. Popping zits is one of life’s greatest pleasures. ---

I agree with OPALCAT…there is a certain sublime satisfaction to popping zits. Pimples, blackheads, whiteheads…that is the road to a state of zen-squeezee. (Splorrkkk)-AHHHH. And to Kiss the zits of your Significant Other…MMMMMMM. For achieving ultimate Nirvana…lance a cyst. Now THAT’S the bad boy you want to get your hands on! ---

While trimming my hubby’s toenails, i noticed some discoloration. I have to admit i did not kiss it, but i did quite enjoy lancing one of the biggest pockets of pus I have ever seen. Lots of necrotic tissue to remove. Tonight I checked it out, removed more dead skin and pus. It is already starting to heal. I also discovered a second toe with an infection and got to clean that out as well. I do enjoy this. BTW: The cause of these infection was that he dropped something heavy on his foot. I am glad I noticed it when I did. ---

Damn, I know I’m weird, but all these descriptions of zit-popping and ingrown-toenail lancing are starting to make me tingly, down there. Seriously. It’s funny what psychological associations will get you horny. Haven’t felt this aroused since I saw that magazine ad for emergency car phones… Excuse me…🙂 ---

I’ve noticed this is somewhat a female thing to do (myself being female), but I cannot keep my hands off of things like that. I love popping zits, peeling sunburnt skin, cleaning and trimming nails, combing out dandruff, cleaning ear wax, getting out ingrown hairs. . .and the list goes on, children. It seems a little nasty to think about, but there’s just something saticfying about it. Maybe it’s just all a part of that maternal instinct. So to make a long answer short, YES! I’d give it a cute little peck (no lingering) and then do my best to pop that little sucker. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-kiss-your-girlfriends-zits/65953.md?page=1)
