I’ve been thinking about a subject this morning that I’m going to ease into, so as to not harm anyone’s sensibilities.

The other day I was telling someone about me going in and having my uvula cut out. You know the little hanging down thing in the back of our mouth, where it goes down into your gullet. This was several years ago and I scheduled it 2 days before Thanksgiving.

If you look way inside my mouth now, you would think that doctor used a mini-chainsaw to whaller out the back of my throat. By the time he got it all sewed up there were lots of stitches. Now I don’t need to tell you that if I was going to eat Thanksgiving Dinner that year, it would have needed to be run through a blender, two or three times.

If I could get this phone camera to focus looking inside my mouth, I’d just show you. I guess I can thank God I can’t get the focus to work.

Any way I was able to eat soft food again by Christmas that year.

So when we were talking that person asked if that changed my gag reflex. I kind of always thought that hanger down part somehow controlled your gag reflex. I guess that person assumed the same thing. Any way, I can attest that it has nothing to do with it.

That’s where all this is headed.
I would like to know, maybe conduct a poll, about where you draw the line between male and female when it comes to gagging. I am completely unable to touch very far back on my tongue with a tooth brush without just about making a scene.

So do other men have the same thing happen?

Could it be more about the amount of testosterone a person has?

Would a more sissified boy not gag as easily as one of us more manly guys?

Are women built that way too?

Inquiring minds (at least this one) wants to know.
