    Huh, apparently I can do about stage 2.5 but it makes the inside of my nose hurt. I wish I didn’t know this about myself

    Edit: I now also have a massive headache. 0/10 experience

      I was curious too, so I went to the Wikipedia page:

      The goal is to attain liberation in the body, by sealing in the energy of bindu in the head so that it is not lost.

      Haṭha yoga is a branch of the largely spiritual practice of yoga, though it makes use of physical techniques; it was developed in medieval times, much later than the meditative and devotional forms of yoga. Its goals however are similar: siddhis or magical powers, and mukti, liberation. In Haṭha yoga, liberation was often supposed to be attainable in the body, made immortal through the practices of Haṭha yoga. Among its techniques were mudrās, meant to seal in or control energies such as kundalini and bindu. Khecarī mudrā is one such technique.

      tl;dr - A spiritual practice of yoga in Hindu metaphysics.

      Do you ask why when someone builds a castle in Minecraft?

      Edit not criticizing you, just making a joke 😅

      Why not? No real reason other than a novelty and it’s easier to get the dried-on mucus off in the morning or the rare occasion when I’m sick.

      It’s also easier to get popcorn kernels unstuck from my back of my throat when that happens and easier to extract tonsil stones without using my finger or a different oral tool.

      Also, as I’ve replied to other comments, I’ve got a slightly higher mucus production than most people seem to naturally have. So it helps to not have to blow my nose as often.

      It certainly would be a dumb way to die. Thankfully, I’ve never experienced anything close to choking on my own tongue.

      I know the song/meme, but that makes me wonder, what would you consider to be the smartest way to die?

    I can do that!

    To a degree at least, just got gratually better over the last few years without deliberate stretching or severing anything. Altho I mostly use it to get slime out of my throat instead of caughing. Now just tried it to get up to my nose, nothing there at the moment.

    I guess I am almost at the “third stage” distance wise.

    It helps to exhale quickly to get the meatflap out ontop of the thongue. (Second picture)

    I’ve did research if one could choke on their own thongue several times, because I was worried that it would “fall down there” or get stuck or sth, like a dislocated jaw or a scrotum torsion or sth.

      Same here. But I can reach the start of my sinuses. The discomfort vanishes with regular training. I was a bored child.

      I can also pick my tonsil stones out with my tongue. X)

    I haven’t had a frenulum since infancy (believe it or not, from a near fatal teething incident) and have always been able to do this. I used to frak people out by making my tongue disappear while I was a kid.

      You can do this naturally with no practice? You’re some kind of hatha yoga chosen one. Unlock your deep chakra and send the tongue to the heart.

      Your mileage may vary for sure. I naturally produce more mucas than most people, but not an obscene amount or anything. I don’t remember it ever starting to hurt after I did it unless I ate acidic or spicy food recently though.

      This is second hand info, I’m nowhere near limber or big enough, but I saw a comment from someone who allegedly was able to self fellate. Apparantly the overall impression is that it is more like sucking dick than getting your dick sucked. I’m not implying that it’s a bad thing, just know what to expect before committing to a rigorous training regiment with that goal in mind. Or whatever, you do you. 😏
