Sucking my finger

Author: Tony Pay ★2017

I recently cut my finger, and I'm worried about how I should suck it -- with my eyes open, or with my eyes shut?

Sucking seems to hurt less if I keep my eyes shut, but I don't know whether I'm imagining this. I know that some people say that it definitely hurts less with your eyes shut, but others say that this is nonsense, and it hurts just the same whether your eyes are open or shut.

How do I know whether I'm fooling myself? Do people find that it hurts more if they suck *too hard* with their eyes open? Is sucking with eyes shut automatically more gentle?

I also wonder whether I'm actually feeling the *right sort of pain* when I have my eyes open. If I keep my eyes shut, can I assume that the pain is automatically OK?

Of course, I could try to work this out myself, or go to a doctor -- if I can find one that I can trust -- but how would I know that? Is just *any* doctor qualified to give me sucking lessons, if it turns out that I need them? And are there specialists in both techniques?

I could see a psychiatrist, even; but I think that the best thing is to ask the experts on this list what I should do. I'm sure that someone here can tell me what's *really* going on with my sucking.
