I don't have much of one, either. It can't be "worn out", but it can be desensitized. Interestingly enough, a gag reflex isn't normal when it only occurs on one side; that is one of the signs of a brainstem stroke.
The gag reflex protects the stomach, and the cough reflex protects the airway. You wouldn't believe how many doctors don't know that.

sme r born with it sme arent

i dont have one either, never been able to puke even when i wanted to go that route to get out of school early...

Not as far as I know... Ive heard of people who are just more tollerant than others in that respect...

However your boyfriend is a very lucky man!

Umm... You really shouldn't be trying to make yourself puke, but I'll try to answer anyways. Maybe you're just doing it wrong?

yeah i know quite a few people that are like this. its allright if you have no gag reflex. it might suck if your choking but not having one isn't so abnormal.

Go asks u'r parents.
