I've become addicted to cleaning my ears

Q-Tips religiously after my daily shower. My wife yells I go too deep.

So you are one of the guys that like being sticked in their hole, it's norm. The society is very accepting nowadays, at least vocally.
 
OP's hearing must be next level.
 
So I've always been one to regularly clean my ears - sometimes with Q-tips but often with an earpick like below. Anyways, it seems to be getting out of hand for me as lately I have been cleaning my ears multiple times a day! I barely even get any notable flakes of earwax anymore but I still scratch about with my earpick thinking I'm gonna find something hidden there

I think it is becoming a problem!! Any other Sherfellows have a similar addiction?

Get some ear candles
 
My wife cleans my ears. I am not sure why she wants to. But, whatever.
 
same. been that way for years.

I clean my ears daily even though hardly anything ever comes out.

I also clean out both nostrils ~3x a day. I do this by snorting water up my nose, and then blasting it out one nostril at a time.

also cant help but squeeze any blackheads I find

tbh I just find the human body repulsive when you really think about it. so I'm always trying to keep it as clean and gunk free as possible..
 
Doctors always say you’re not supposed to stick shit in your ears, q-tips included.

Anyway, once in a while I get those ear cleaning kits from the pharmacy and clear that shit out. It’s crazy how much shit comes out of my ears. I love it. For some reason, there are few things less satisfying than removing foreign shit from your body. It’s why popping zits is always so great.
 
There was one 'ear doctor' recently on tv saying that over 80% of his work comes from people with problems associated with always cleaning their ears and using Q-Tips, etc. He said we should never stick things in our ears, especially items that are larger than a German Shepherd.
I'd always thought things like Q-Tips were meant especially for the ear in the first place.

Why is that?

I love being clean and I'm always VERY CAREFUL.

I should definitely research this subject further.

An ear , nose and throat doctor told my son that the only thing that you should put in your own ear is your elbow.

i kicked the habit, and im out of Q tips right now so I bet my laziness and addiction to the pots will keep me from getting more hopefully
 
Is that all?

Like I already wrote in this thread, I'm always VERY CAREFUL when I'm using cotton swabs/q-tips.

Everyone is always “very careful” when they do shit they’re not supposed to be doing. Everyone thinks they’re a good driver. Yet people die of car accidents all the fucking time.
