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.

This post was a good deal more innocent than I thought it was going to be.

And quite interesting.

It's a bit of a nightmare though how sometimes it's the inability to swallow that sends people into care when they age or get crook.

I too had dirty thoughts when I read the title. My father had alzheimers and the inability to swallow was the point were the disease had progressed to where there was no real quality of life you could point to at all.
