Answers:
It is considered abnormal to not have a gag reflex!. I'm sure you have an intact gag reflex, otherwise you'd be choking on your saliva, and aspirating your food!. Lots of people can stick an object far down into their throat and not gag!.!.!.ever seen a sword-swallower!? Just because they can control when they gag doesn't mean the reflex isn't there not working!.

EDIT* LOL - Dave b! Yeah, I'd have to say I agree!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm sure you have a gag reflex it just may be lower into your throat!. If you've been playing around doing lots of stupid things as you've mentioned then it could be possible that you've diminished the response of your gag reflex!. So yes your weird for playing around like that because the gag reflex is a protective mechanism in case you were to ever aspirate (choke) or say get that tooth brush nearly lodged in your throat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Is this a health question or a sexual question!? Maybe just my dirty mind rearing it's ugly head (no pun intended) If it's a health question, you'd be drooling like a baby because you're gag reflex is telling you to swallow!. Wait!.!.!.even that sounds sexual!.!.!.!.I need to end my answer!. Good luck to you and you're partner should be very happy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You must have some sort of gag reflex!. Some people just have a higher tollerance than others, or can control it better!.
Its not abnormal, but if you are worried try going to see the doctor and just ask them any questions that are on your mind!.

And thats so dirty, but completely true (above)!.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help!. xxWww@Answer-Health@Com
