2. 3-5x a day
i do it in public, do it in class, wherever, whenever the urge strikes. no need to hold back, and i keep at it until my mandibles hurt.

3. I find it's a good way to prevent boluses from plugging my esophagus.

6. It's my downfall.
Maybe I'll have my masticator stapled shut after Christmas and try to lose some of this flab.

9. Yes, but not too much
as I don't want to go blind.

On the other hand, I don't want to go hungry.

10. I'm masticating with some rubber now
It's flavored with sugar and I'm blowing bubbles with it.

13. I am a chronic masticator
I do it like times a day on average. I've tried to get this compulsion under control but after two or three days without mastication, I can't help myself.
