You Can Turn Off Your Gag Reflex By Squeezing Your Thumb?

This could solve a lot of problems! No more puking up cum on my partner’s stomach!

*sound of needle suddenly scratching record*

What I meant to say was – I will have less trouble with the tongue depressor during a doctor’s visit. Yes.

Lifehacker has this neat article about how you can avoid gagging on cock by merely squeezing your thumb. They back it up with real scientific evidence in the form of a 2008 study in The Journal Of the American Dental Association. It’s not clear if this is just a way to trick yourself, or actually a physical way to protect against that pesky hurling but let’s all try it the next time we’re going to deep throat a friend.

Does anyone else besides me have a fairly intense gag reflex? Has it ever led to embarrassment during a doctor or dentist visit, or say, during some hot dick-sucking action? Let us know in the comments!

  1. Don’t know about pinching the thumb but I know during dental work, like taking x-rays, impressions, etc., I curl my feet and toes toward my head and that helps.  Kinda hard to curl toes while sucking a guy, so will try this next time … at the dentist and in bed! 

  2. gagging reflex is kinda of hot….embarassment for what?:)) I’ve noticed some top guyz really get off when somebody’s gagging on their cock. it simply means its big…and its a natural response not a lie that come out of your mouth:)

  3. Thanks — as I’m always on the lookout for the next long cock, I’ll give this a try when I find them!

  4. For me sucking cock in the 70’s and 80’s it was a skill that was expected of most bottoms

  5. Mine isn’t usually that bad, but I had a recent experience where the guy was into fucking my throat. *GROSS ALERT* I actually threw up in my mouth… around his cock. But I was able to swallow it without letting anything spill, and possibly without him realizing. He didn’t say anything, and we continued until he shot his load down my throat. 

  6. When I saw the original post in Lifehacker i felt so bad cause I inmadately tought of sucking cock, I feel better now that I’m not the only one 🙂

  7. My level of being-turned-on and my desire to really get the guy hot so he’ll turn me around and pound me generally determines my gag issues. I’ve learned to relax my throat muscles and let those big ones slide right down.

  8. I don’t really gag alot if I’m having a day where I feel eh I might gag but usually don’t and the guys I’ve been with love it

  9. I have done the thumb trick, it works surprisingly well buts it not perfect. I have a bad Gag reflex and i mean bad ie no deep throat or vomit ensues. this trick i would say increases your tolerance, but doesn’t get rid of it. so if u have a mild one it will go away, have a bad gag reflex it will make it mild. quick way to test it. use your finger. I can touch the back of my throat, where i normally have trouble brushing my teeth.
     

  10. Squeezing the thumb how exactly? I am thinking folded under the finger, like inside a fist kind of thing… Is that right?

  11. My gag reflex is mild, but always totally prevented me from deep-throating. I read an article about this trick a few months ago, and it definitely worked. JustSayin, that’s exactly how you do it. I think the article I read said that it worked better with your non-dominant hand. I could be wrong though.
