I was reading the website “Overheard in New York” just now when I came upon this strange piece of dubious information:
I was wondering if this was true, but I’m too chicken to try it. Also, are there any other ways of shutting down the gag reflex? Curious minds want to know.
Practice?
I had a root canal and the dentist had half his tool cabinet in my mouth. Half of it felt like it has already been swallowed, and of course, I kept gaging. The nurse told me that breathing through my nose would stop the reflex.
My suggestion. Try breathing through your nose. Never mind the fact that you can’t breath when you’re gaging.
It definitely helps. I had an upper endoscopy once and essentially wasn’t sedated. I started gagging when they put the hose down my throat and the nurse told me to relax and keep breathing. It worked, even though I tend to gag easily, and I made it through the entire procedure with no more problems.
I sure as heck wouldn’t try it with a banana, though. Come to think of it, I hope never to have an endoscopy again either. :::shudder:::
Just try to think about everything you’re going to be able to do with the money.
Sorry if that was a little over the top. Thought we were in MPSIMS.
I recall reading a thread with a similar question several years ago. In that thread, the method was rubbing your temples, and several people posters tried it and claimed it worked. There was some speculation that it worked by stimulating a cranial nerve; it seems to me that putting a thumb against your forehead or breathing through your nose could do the same thing.
Well searched :). Thanks for covering for my laziness.
I tried it myself, and to echo the people in that other thread, the temple massage method really does work.
I just wish I knew this two weeks earlier when I was with my girlfriend 
Practice early in the morning, when the gag reflex is at its weakest. Also, go to an allboys’ boarding school for Jr. High and Highschool.
let me ask my girlfriend how she was able to train herself to get rid of hers
No problem, the upside of the board not being pay-to-post anymore is that longtime lurkers who are too [del]cheap[/del] economical to pay the membership fee can now search for free.
Your gf has a penis?
:dubious:
Of course - his!
I noticed there was some question on the window. People are alluding to the obvious, so I wonder if you had someone else continuously massaging the temples, while, um, attempting to trigger the gag reflex would drastically prolong the relief.
I’m also a little concerned about the dangers of prolonged temple rubbing…I’m not all that crazy about the way a temple massage feels (sorry, Baby…eh, what the hell, we can still try it), and they start to feel tender and uncomfortable. I often thought it was a mechanism to make you stop stimulating the temples because you’d eventually pass out or something.
I once had a girlfriend that had had her tonsils removed many years prior. According to her the doc accidentally damaged a nerve somwhere back there that left her without a gag reflex.
She did have some mad skillz.
No allusions here. She could take me down her throat and have my balls in her mouth.
Is she able to speak right now? I bet she isn’t, you perv.
