Gay gagging and oral is rooted in evolution
Have you ever enjoyed in oral play with another guy and suddenly found yourself gagging? When it happened, were you embarrassed? Did you apologize?
Well, according to science, there’s no need to because it’s completely normal. That’s because the gag reflex is an evolutionary leftover from early man.
I’m not kidding.
According to Dr. Rachel Herz, author of That’s Disgusting: Unraveling the Mysteries of Repulsion (see link) the reason you gag isn’t because you are turned off or because he tastes nasty.
Instead, it’s directly related to human adaptation.
Now stay with me.
Science tell us that primitive man first showed up on the planet around 600,000 years ago during the tail end of the tertiary period. His name was Homo Heidelbergensis (HH).
Back then, HH didn’t always know what was safe to eat. Remember, there weren’t food labels and the FDA wasn’t around.
No sir, HH and his hunter gatherer companions lived off the land. This meant killing Paleocene animals, like hedgehogs and elephants of the era.
But sometimes, HH would take in something that wasn’t good for him. As a way of protecting himself from a dangerous meal (aka poisonous plants) he developed a primitive reaction called the gag reflex.
What is the gag reflex?
A gag reflex, clinically called the pharyngeal reflex or laryngeal spasm, is a contraction at the back of the throat triggered by an object touching the roof of your mouth and around your tonsils.
Here’s what’s interesting. Most all animals have this.
Think about it for a minute. Have you ever given your dog or cat something to eat and it responsively gagged it up? Did your pet choke a bit when it happened, making a distinctive guttural sound?
Now you know why. Your little fur-baby was just trying to protect himself.
All of this is to say that in the here and now, gagging on a guy isn’t necessarily something you can control. Should the man you are with be well endowed, his size may stimulate more of a gag reflex.
So the next time you are going to town on a guy and start gagging, don’t apologize! It’s a normal reaction with evolutionary roots that can be traced back to half a million years ago.
The good news is that with more experience, that primitive reaction will start to fade. Some people practice on a toy to help train themselves. What if you did this?
Happy hunting!
