Question
Hi Oscar

Thanks for the quick and helpful answer to my question.
With all modesty, I consider myself to be good at oral sex (I've been told that I am by other people on numerous occasions). Even so, I feel that I'd like to improve. Sometimes I can take a guy deep, even if his cock is quite long, at other times even a smaller cock engages my gag reflex. I did not meet this guy who wanted to hypnotise me, and I doubt his claim, which is why I am asking you. I know that some people (sword swallowers for example) can learn to control their gag reflex. I have tried several things but I cannot control it for more than a few seconds, and even that under the best conditions. Is there some way to control the gag reflex?
As for not doing things that I wouldn't do under normal circumstances, well, there aren't a whole lot of those :)

Recently I chatted with someone in a chat room, and he said he is into control via hypnosis, and that using his techniques I could be hypnotised to repress my gag reflex and be able to deep-throat a guy for hours without getting tired. Is this possible? If so, do you have any idea how it might be done?

Hi Steven:

TAKE any claims of anyone in a web chat room with a grain of salt <smile>. While it is is possible to use hypnosis to help or condition certin things, the claim someone is actually skilled in that ability remains in question. Suggestion can be a powerful thing. The actual belief that you can be hypnotised, can make you open  and suggestible to the commands. You cannot be forced to do stuff that you would not want to do in real life in normal conditions, but loosen  the gag reflex could be a bit trickier. Could also be a bit more like conditioning to get used to the sensation of something going in and aout of your throat without tickling the reflex. The most probable means with hypnosis would be a suggestion of relaxation of  muscles, since thatis what is all about.
  It can be possible, yet wonder about the credentials, intentions, and motives of the  person offering. That being said, have fun and be safe.
Take care.

Hi Again STeven:
Here is some info I found that could help you.
Some people are uncomfortable performing fellatio because they have a sensation of gagging when they take the erect penis into their mouth. This is known as gag reflex, it is triggered by pressure at the back of the tongue or in the throat. If a man, in his excited state, pushes his penis too far into his partner's mouth, the gag reflex may take over. One way to avoid this problem is for the person giving the oral sex to grasp the penis along the shaft to control how much of it enters the mouth.
We will concentrate on dealing with that bothersome gag reflex.  
Gagging should only become a problem when something hits the back of your throat. If you keep your partner's penis at the front of your mouth (and keep those teeth covered with your lips) you can stimulate the sensitive nerves around his glans (head of his penis) with your tongue and work the base of his shaft with your hand. This should keep you from gagging, while still drive him wild. As you become more used to fellatio, you can take him further back into your mouth. Keep his penis in the center of your mouth to prevent it from hitting the side walls at the back of your throat (an area rich in gag inducing nerves). This will reduce gagging. And remember, the thicker your partner, the more chance he has of hitting the sides of your throat and starting your gag reflex.

Some men suck on a anesthetic throat lozenge to numb the back of their throat. Although this will decrease gagging, it also deadens many of the nerves and taste buds that provide the enjoyable component of fellatio. Sword swallowers beat the gag reflex by tilting their head back so that the sword makes a straight shot for their esophagus and not the trachea. Some men find that in order to deep throat a really big "sword" they can lie on their back and hang their head over the edge of the bed. This maneuver lines up your esophagus with your mouth and cuts down on gagging. Your gag reflex is heightened when your stomach is full, so if you've had a problem with gagging in the past it might be better to do it on an empty stomach -- unless your boyfriend doesn't mind being covered in vomit. Some men find that breathing in while they go down on a penis decreases gagging while others find that breathing out does the trick. Experiment and find out what works best for you.

Hope it helps
Be well
