Definition
This is a sensation fetish that focuses on the choking feeling that one feels when something enters too far back in the throat. The gag reflex is caused by a contraction of the throat, which is caused when the soft palate is touched. The body has this natural reflex in order to prevent any kind of choking. Sexually, this sensation can be achieved in several ways. Giving a deepthroat blowjob is the most common way, but one can also have fingers and/or feet stuffed deep into the back of their throat. The gag reflex fetish can cause excess saliva to come from the back of the throat and therefore be linked to the wet and messy fetish as well.
Safety
Experiencing the gag reflex can be dangerous and damage to the pharyngeal muscle can occur if it is done in a very rough manner. If there is pain or discomfort felt, one should stop and let the throat rest.
