It doesn't hurt or anything, and it actually tickles. I looked it up, and it doesn't seem to be serious. I just wanted to be sure.

I can also do this and asked my doctor about it. that part on the outside of the ear is the Antitragus it is very sensative to touch because its actually a muscle in there. way way back in time it actually served the purpose of protection for the inner ear parts of the ear. when it rumbles you know you have something up against your face and too close to the ears. something hunters/ gathers of long ago needed in order to protect their self from accidentally puncturing their ear drums while running pushing through or other wise going through bushes/ trees, ... all mammals have this. bats use their Antitragus muscle it for echolocation. ...
no its not a serious problem its a natural, meant to be thing.
