It hasn't been part of my life in years and I haven't missed it. I did date a few "scratchers" though, and I must say that I did thoroughly enjoy their abandon and passion while in the act. If it caused a few scratches, that was fine with me.
The results, however, could be humorous. When I was in college, I was dating a woman who was wild and a scratcher. I also played sports. In the gym shortly after our first time, as I walked into the showers, one of my "friends" launched into sports announcer mode to point out the marks to all within hearing distance (which was basically everyone in the entire locker room due to the acoustics of the shower area) and to speculate on their origin. I had forgotten they were there. The next shocker was when the water hit my back. YOW!
