The term gagging doesn’t mean anything to you? No problem, you’re like many others. If you’ve heard it before, it was probably in connection with porn movies or when you had a date with someone who likes blowjobs and deep throat. Gagging is a variation of deep throat. In this article, you’ll learn all the important facts about this special form of oral sex.
What is gagging?
The easiest way to explain it is to start with the word itself. You should know that “to gag” means to choke. However, this does not describe the gagging sensation you feel when someone squeezes your throat. Rather, it refers to the gag reflex you feel when your partner pushes his penis deep into your throat with or without a condom. Gagging is mainly known in the BDSM scene. Armed with this knowledge, you will be able to better understand the following five facts about gagging.
Fact 1: Gagging is not the same as deep throat
Deep throat is a blowjob technique where your partner’s penis goes deep into your throat. With deep throat, however, your partner remains rather passive and lets themselves be pleasured while you take the active role. Well, there are also men who love to sink their penis into their partner’s throat, but deep throat is often part of a blowjob and is directed by the person giving the blowjob.
With gagging, on the other hand, your partner takes the active role and penetrates your throat until you gag, as hard and deep as if they were taking you anally. As the submissive partner, you remain largely passive and are being used. Gagging often serves as a way of punishing or humiliating your partner.
An important difference between deep throat and gagging is that the gag reflex is usually undesirable in deep throat. Gagging, on the other hand, often aims to trigger it. This is part of the punishment of the mostly immobile, passive partner.
Fact 2: Pleasure until vomiting
During gagging, the active partner is usually not gentle with you as the passive partner. The ruthless use of your throat as a substitute for the anus can cause you to not only gag but also vomit. This can happen accidentally or be intentional on the part of your partner. In this case, vomiting is a form of humiliation and degradation and is also known as saliromania in the SM community. Caution is advised, especially if vomit enters the windpipe. This poses a risk of suffocation. If vomiting occurs accidentally, don’t worry about it. After cleaning up the mess, brushing your teeth briefly, and taking a sip of water, the incident will be forgotten and you can continue playing.
Fact 3: The gag reflex can be trained
“Practice makes perfect” and ‘No one is born a master’ are two sayings that are important when it comes to gagging. The good news is that you can train yourself to suppress the gag reflex triggered by oral penetration to a certain extent. With regular training and certain breathing techniques (such as deep abdominal breathing), the gag reflex can be suppressed. If you don’t train for a long time, the gag reflex will eventually return. It is usually not possible to eliminate it completely, and doing so would also be counterproductive, as it is ultimately a protective mechanism of our body. Its purpose is to prevent foreign objects (such as swallowed objects or pieces of food) from entering your airways.
Fact 4: Gagging carries a risk of injury
If your partner penetrates you orally with his penis while gagging and penetrates deep into your throat, his penis will naturally come into contact with the mucous membrane in your throat. This carries a risk of injury. Especially with very hard and uncontrolled thrusts, the mucous membrane can be injured, which may lead to bleeding. Under no circumstances should your partner wear penis piercings such as a Prince Albert piercing during gagging. You should actively set boundaries here and ensure that your partner exercises caution. Unfortunately, this is too often neglected in the active gagging scene.
A risk that should not be underestimated is the lack of air for you as the passive gagging partner. After all, your partner is penetrating you extremely deeply with his penis, which can prevent you from breathing. Despite their dominance, the active partner should always make sure that their partner is getting enough air. If this is not the case, they should literally pull out and let their partner catch their breath.
Fact 5: Gagging is used as punishment
In the BDSM scene, a lot revolves around dominance and submission, around the relationship between master and slave. Gagging, similar to spanking, paddling, or bondage, is often used as a punishment. The power imbalance in gagging is often evident in the fact that the passive partner is usually restrained and/or tied up and cannot defend themselves against oral penetration. According to stories, gagging was practiced in public places centuries ago, also as punishment for crimes. Whether this really happened and for which crimes cannot be verified with 100% certainty. If it did, it must have been very exciting for some of the spectators.
Fact 6: Only play with mutual consent
What do you need to make a game fun? Right, everyone has to want to play. That’s why a basic prerequisite for gagging is always that both parties want to engage in this type of play. Only give your consent if you are sure that you want to be orally penetrated in this way. Anything else would be coercion, which is punishable by law and would certainly not be enjoyable for you as the passive partner. Before gagging, discuss exactly what is and isn’t allowed, then you can enjoy pleasurable oral penetration.
Fact 7: A safe word or gesture is mandatory
When gagging, the saying “I’ve had enough” takes on a whole new meaning. Because there is a penis deep in your mouth and throat, you can’t really talk much during gagging. This makes it all the more important to agree on a short safe word or gesture with your partner that indicates that something is wrong, you feel uncomfortable, or you simply need a break. Your partner should respond immediately to the word or gesture and not just continue. To make sure this works and you are safe at all times as the passive partner, it is essential that you have complete trust in each other.
Conclusion: practice
Gagging is considered a variation that is not practiced very often by couples. However, it definitely has its appeal, because the feeling of having a cock deep in your throat is hot. The idea of warm cum squirting from a twitching cock straight into your throat during orgasm is sure to give many men a hard bulge in their pants. Admittedly, gagging is one of the harder forms of sex, but that’s precisely why consideration for the passive partner is a basic requirement.
Anyone who has ever been unable to breathe properly because their throat is blocked knows how important consideration is here. If you feel discomfort, pain, or panic as the passive partner, you should stop immediately and try something else. After all, there are many other variations that are also very arousing.
