As <\/span>explained by the people at Live Science<\/span><\/a>, the gag reflex is triggered by \u201can object touching the roof of your mouth, the back of your tongue, the area around your tonsils, or the back of your throat.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Your gag reflex is meant to stop things from getting into your throat that are too big to swallow or properly digest. When you need it, it\u2019s great (namely because it keeps you alive), however, there are times that it becomes a bit of an inconvenience, like when you\u2019re trying to give a blowjob.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gagging while giving a blowjob is normal, but that doesn’t make it any less pleasant. Here are some ways for you to continue serving up oral sex, while relaxing your natural reflex.<\/span><\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to deep throat.<\/h2>\n

Oral sex doesn\u2019t have to be the head-bobbing, rough affair that you see in porn. As a sexual act, a blowjob shouldn\u2019t simply be focused on the pleasure of the person receiving it, rather both people involved.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adjust your blowjob technique<\/span><\/a> so that you\u2019re not fully enveloping their penis in your mouth. Make ready use of your hands to stroke the shaft as you work the head of their penis with your tongue and mouth. Even when you\u2019re not stroking the shaft, always keep one hand wrapped around the base of the penis so that you\u2019re in control of depth and pace.<\/span><\/p>\n

For readers facing the <\/span>small mouth, big penis dilemma<\/span><\/a>, using you hands to reach places of his penis where your mouth cannot will go a long way. Pro tip: as you suck and lick the head of the penis, allow some saliva to drip out to provide lubrication for you handiwork on the shaft.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to come up for air.<\/h2>\n

While giving head, try breathing through your nose while he\u2019s in your mouth \u2013 this may seem like the most obvious advice, but being conscious of your breathing will help greatly in reducing any anxiety you might feel about gagging. <\/span><\/p>\n

While breathing through your nose will help you create an uninterrupted blowjob rhythm, remember that there\u2019s nothing wrong with coming up for air or giving your jaw and mouth a break every now and then. This is why it\u2019s important to be using your hands as well to keep your mouth from having to do all the heavy lifting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Find your \u2018gag zone\u2019.<\/h2>\n

Discover where your gag reflex starts on your own time before learning mid-blowjob. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can do this by brushing your tongue when you brush your teeth and seeing how far back the toothbrush can go before a gag reflex is triggered. The area nearest the tip of your tongue where the gag begins is the place you can consider as your \u2018gag limit\u2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Train your gag reflex.<\/h2>\n

If you have an overactive or very sensitive gag response, you can try some exposure therapy in order to possibly lessen your gag response. <\/span><\/p>\n

Dentists with patients who have sensitive gag reflexes<\/span><\/a> believe that you can \u2018train\u2019 your gag reflex by activating it purposely. This means that when you\u2019re brushing your tongue, initiate a gag reflex repeatedly as much as you are comfortable doing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Doing this over the course of a few nights or mornings should decrease your gag response. Of course, no need to force this if you truly don’t enjoy it. There are plenty of other ways you can create pleasure for you and your partner.<\/span><\/p>\n
