According to ModernMan.com, your fingernails are filthy and biting them transfers the gunk into your mouth increasing your chances of getting sick, Nibling away also wears down your teeth, and contributes to skin and cuticle infections. So, how can you stop? Let's take a look at the steps.
1. Products
ModernMan's first treatment step is to apply products, preferably those icky tasting nail polishes or creams, that "give you an unpleasant reminder that you’re a very bad boy each time you go in for a chew."
2. Keeping your nails groomed
"Clipping your nails regularly and smoothing any jagged edges may be enough to keep you from 'fixing' your nails with your teeth at bay."

3. Distraction
Idle hands can fuel a nail-biting habit, so give him some silly-putty to play with, a stress ball, gum to chew on, or put his idle hands to use in the bedroom.
4. Stress and anxiety
Stress, anxiety, frustration and fear are common nail-biting causes. ModernMan suggests pinpointing the cause of these factors, addressing them, or else drag your man to couples' yoga (you could even threaten this as a punishment).
