I will third that. I have _yet_ to have that method fail me. It has _always_ worked.

Okay. My boyfriend and I have developed a new method which **always** works.

We kiss, and then he sucks all the air out of my lungs. I feel panicked for a moment, and then they’re gone. IT has worked every time.

The drawback is, of course, you need someone willing to suck your lungs available. I’ve tried just exhaling a lot, and it doesn’t work as well.
