That is it almost exactly, right down to the
constant leg motion, well not totally constant,
I mean my legs aren't pumping right now. I agree
that it fulfills some need. There is something
very satisfying when I can get a piece of dead
skin off without causing bleeding. And the
tearing seems to result in more dead skin so it
is self-perpetuating. I dont think it really has
to do with causing pain. After a couple decades
of this (and a year and a half washing dishes in
a restaurant) I think the nerve endings in my
finger-tips have become much less sensitive.
Shorter finger-nails and lotions is probably
the best remedy.
