In other words I guess fight the urge now, because it wont get easier and no one wants someone else obsessing on their body.

Same here, I sit there in the evenings and hubby just sees the restlessness in me starting until I finally say " Can I get a look at your back ? " .... Even the dog knows, the minute we switch thr sitting room light on the dog gets up and jumps into hubby's chair knowing he is going to sit between my legs.
I have learned to show restraint where DS is concerned as he has many milk spots on his face and I have tried to squeeze them for him a few times. starting when he was about 5, but he protests that it hurts so I leave him alone and just try not to focus on the spots on his face.
But I also used to pull the hairs out of his back using tweezers. I had his entire back clear of them at one point and when they would start growing back I'd be almost digging them out making him bleed. He put a stop to that fairly quickly.
