You probably need to get your throat stretched. It isn't that uncommon and is a pretty easy procedure.

Good luck selling that as a real treatment option to a woman. :colbert:

Funny thing is, my wife had to have that procedure done and it resulted in exactly zero more blowjobs than I normally get (which is funny enough, zero).

I offered to do it myself and I just got the look.

just north of 30, and i know exactly what you mean!

in the last year i have gotten the following problems:

- can't eat fried foods anymore without getting diarrhea
- ear starts popping and clicking every time i jog or climb stairs
- feel dizzy like i'm going to pass out every few days for no reason
- had stomach pains so bad i couldn't go pee for a solid day
- and now stuff getting stuck in my throat

each one of the things has made me think i should tell a doctor, but then i tell someone and they say "oh you're just getting old". so i haven't gone yet.

I agree, don't ask a professional. There couldn't possibly be anything wrong.

but it's so embarrassing to go to a doctor

Well, you just need to shift the paradigm here.

Go in and ask for a prostate exam. Once the doctor gets a couple of digits in, casually mention that you are having problems swallowing. I guarantee it will seem easy at that point.

it's sad, i had no idea how awesome 20 years old feels until i got to 30.

no kidding right, i remember when i was 20, everything was wondrous, my body felt like a fine, well oiled machine, EVEN after a night of drinking/drugging....

now i wake up every morning needing a cup of coffee at the least to begin to feel like a human again lol...

You're still in Ohio, so I also will have an easy time retrieving said stuff.

Please don't die, but if you find yourself planning on it, remember my claim! :p

Good luck with catching whatever he has after you fumble through his stuff.

Times like this where I wish Alky was still around, I'm sure he'd have a few choice posts.
