To a degree at least, just got gratually better over the last few years without deliberate stretching or severing anything. Altho I mostly use it to get slime out of my throat instead of caughing. Now just tried it to get up to my nose, nothing there at the moment.

I guess I am almost at the "third stage" distance wise.

It helps to exhale quickly to get the meatflap out ontop of the thongue. (Second picture)

I've did research if one could choke on their own thongue several times, because I was worried that it would "fall down there" or get stuck or sth, like a dislocated jaw or a scrotum torsion or sth.

I did it gradually as well, I've never had problems with choking on my own tongue.

Same here. But I can reach the start of my sinuses. The discomfort vanishes with regular training. I was a bored child.

I can also pick my tonsil stones out with my tongue. X)
