The peppermint recommendation came from my dentist. She wasn't talking about the taste of cum or the taste of anything, she was talking about working on far back molars and how the soft palate is what makes us gag.
Peppermint is an ancient remedy for indigestion but also according to my dentist has some property to relax the soft palate so one isn't so likely to gag. She said the cool sensation acts like a numbing agent but not by actual numbing but more like changing the focus of certain nerve receptors. I don't really know the science behind it, I just know that it helped me.
According to a Harvard Medical article:
"Menthol creates that familiar cooling sensation by stimulating nerves that sense cold (your mouth has some of these nerves, which is the reason products containing menthol “taste” cool); it also inhibits those that react to painful stimuli. The effect doesn’t last long, but sometimes a brief reprieve or distraction from a cough or a muscle ache does wonders.
One explanation for how peppermint oil might help IBS sufferers is that the oil — and perhaps especially the menthol — blocks calcium channels, which has the effect of relaxing the “smooth” muscles in the walls of the intestine."
The other thing I was thinking about gag reflex... is why worry about it. Some guys just love that they are so huge (even if they aren't) that they made you gag. I love my Master with all my heart. I will do everything I can for Him. He wants to stick His dick down my throat then that is His right. It is also His responsibility to be "risk aware" and if I ralph during or after oral sex, isn't that just one of those risks one should be aware of?
