Sometimes I malfunction and wamt to swallow but I cant. After a few tries it suddenly works. I usually bug when I breath heavily through my nose.

    I just tried this and I’m absolutely mindblown. I can get about 3-4 swallows before my body just refuses another

      So you’ve never drank a big glass of water that takes more than four swallows?

      The reason your body won’t do more than 3-4 swallows is there’s only so much saliva it can produce per unit time.

        It’s not the lack of saliva to swallow. After a certain point the top of my throat feels like it locks up and won’t let me even attempt a swallow.

        I haven’t tried it with water but when drinking normally I’m not trying to swallow continuously as fast as possible.
