I used to use tape but developed an adhesive allergy which sucks...rubber bands can get me sort of close but wind up being a tad dangerous as circulation became an issue (don't tie knots in rubber bands while they are applied to the human body no matter how good they feel, it is a bad idea)
the spoon trick might work, thank you for your suggestion on that, I am very grateful I am not the only one with borderline (or outright) dangerous stim needs...seriously finding substitutes for this stuff is HARD WORK people...
I drew blood smacking myself with a ruler and got reprimanded and threatened with a lovely bit of procedure called a 21/20 hold (code for a mandated psych eval in the ED where I come from) so I sort of don't trust myself (or the mental needs of those around me to be fair) with anything that needs a safe-word or coaching by an experienced person to use, it might end badly...paperclips for the same reason
