    A Trick For Suppressing Your Gag Reflex?

    6
    By Cooper S. Beckett on May 15, 2010 Cooper's Blog

    Ok, this is a bit weird, and it's very late at night, very early in the morning, so I want to see if I'm crazy. Alexa over at The Real Princess Diaries talked about a very odd way to suppress your gag reflex.  You know, to deep throat…or maybe not get upset at the dentist or doctor, I don't want to assume.

    So, here's the trick, and I specifically want to see if it works for you guys.

    Step 1: Put your left thumb against your palm, wrap your fingers around it.  You should now have a fist with your thumb in the middle.

    Step 2:  There is no step 2.

    Seriously, that's it.   And maybe it's late night hokum, or the power of suggestion, but I can touch my uvula.  Yeah, weird, creepy, unnatural.

    But maybe, just maybe, there's some neural pathway allowing this to happen.  So, give it a try.  Very curious if it works for you!  Please let us know in the comments section!

      Oh my! This is not just a trick, my friends, this is sheer freakin’ brilliance! I’ve, ahem, had a slight issue with my gag-reflex (that once used to be non-existent) and this technique makes it go *POOF* into oblivion!

      A must-try for all gals and guys and swingers looking to expand their oral repertoires and capacities. 😉

      Thank you so much for sharing this, Cooper, and spreadin’ the luv.

      I wonder if others know about this!

      Taught this little gem to my wife (who's been practicing deep throating quite a lot lately) and it certainly helps a lot. While I can't say the trick itself is a cure-all (again, she's been practicing) she was certainly able to go deeper and harder with noticeable ease.

        So far we've only found one person that it didn't work for. We're still on the look out, but odds are good!
