While the human body is an amazing wonderland of miracles, there are some pretty embarrassing things it does too! One of the most dreaded one is the gag reflex. It can be triggered fairly quickly and by anything. The worst place that it does get triggered is in the middle of sex during a blow job. I mean, just imagine, having fun during sex, doing your thing and giving a blow job and then suddenly gagging. Just. The. Worst!
So is it okay to gag? And why do we gag? Is it totally unsexy or do boys take it as a compliment? So many questions and this time, we’re here with all the answers. Read on to find out!
Why Do We Gag?
Gag reflex, also known as pharyngeal reflex, is the contraction of the back of your throat when something touches the back third of your mouth, which includes – roof of your mouth, the back of your tongue, the area around your tonsils, or the back of your throat. This reflex is present to help prevent choking and to expel anything your mouth deems to big to swallow, and in this case it’s, ahem, a penis!
Even when you’re brushing your teeth, you gag sometimes when you touch the sensitive areas. It’s just one of the ways your body protects itself and you from hurting yourself or worse. So instead of being disgusted by the reflex, we must be very grateful for it!
Should We Use Alternate Methods To Prevent Gagging?
The internet is filled with ways to suppress your gag reflex. From throat numbing sprays to pressing on your left thumb to working on training your tongue, there are a lot of ways to go about it. But should we do it?
Gagging is a natural reflex meant to protect your body and trust me, sex is not worth desensitizing this reflex over. Numbing your throat for a dental exam and numbing your throat for just sex are two very different things. A great head is not characterised by just deep throating, and training your body otherwise over what might be a better blow job is not worth the effort, IMO! Just modify the technique a little and your man will be as happy as ever! Here’s a little guide to help you!
Is It Unsexy?
There might be a good chance that your partner is not completely disgusted with what is your body’s normal reaction. After all, you aren’t a pornstar or a sexpert trained to take things deep into your mouth!
And if you’re not sure, you can simply have a conversation with him and find out. Communication, after all, is always the best way to go about things. Who knows he might just find it sexy that your body thinks he is rather well-endowed!
So, Is It Okay To Gag?
Yes, absolutely. Don’t uphold yourself to unrealistic standards that have been set by what you see in porn. Sex in real life is WAY different from these videos. Unless it’s too painful or too severe, it’s okay to gag a little and it’ll give you something to laugh about. Isn’t sex all about that, anyway, just a lot of fun?
