Why Does Ginger Do This?

[Talulah]

My timid, less dominant sow does this odd little nibble during cuddle time.
She’ll sit on my chest, right under my chin, and randomly gently nip and pull my skin, it doesn’t break the skin or hurt.
I don’t think it’s a toilet thing but I’m wondering why she does it. Anyone any ideas? I’m the only person she does it to.
