Why do people make the “smooching” noise when kissing? It seems like it takes at least a little intentional effort to make that noise. Is it weird to make out but not make the noise?

    I believe you are thinkng of swishing.

    Actually no, I was talking about gargling.

    Gargling can be done without making the GARHGARHGARHGARH loud noise while still gargling and getting the back of the throat.

    Basically I only do that whenever I have a sore throat, but I don’t know of any way of keeping the fluid from going past the back of your throat without making that loud sound.

    I mean I’m not going to go with glass breaking decimal levels of making that sound, but you do have to do a gargling sound of some kind.

    Anyway, I bow to your greater gargling techniques.

      You tilt your head back like you normally would, and then just breathe out through the liquid. It does the exact same thing you’re doing, just without vibrating the vocal cords.
