Fellacio and Sleep Apnea
Fellacio and Sleep Apnea
Why does my legitimate question get deleted just because it includes the topic of a sexual nature?
Does performing deep fellacio cause, complicate or increase the symptoms of sleep apnea?

It's the classic "sword-swallower" effect described in the scientific literature.

My guess is the receiver would sleep much better after the act.
What happened to the previous two posts? Guess they were chicken.

Sorry you can't sleep; but it's not MY problem.

Re: Fellacio and Sleep Apnea
I think you would be hard pressed to find any data about this question.

I can only assume it was deleted by the administrators because you failed to indicate whether it was being performed on male or female.Portlandmax wrote:Why does my legitimate question get deleted just because it includes the topic of a sexual nature?

In any case, a literature search shows no suitable studies available.
However if you are speaking of performance on a male, there may be some beneficial effect if the ejaculate liquid is maintained. One might speculate that this liquid could act as a soft tissue lubricant in the airway if proper technique is maintained and the lubricant remains in place while sleeping. See Surface Tension Forces in Sleep Apnea: The Role of a Soft Tissue Lubricant
But for "headache nights" you might want to consider a banana smoothie - quite inexpensive and required foreplay is minimal:
Myriad facets of the banana smoothie therapy have been previously explored in cpaptalk: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=40884&st=0&sk=t&sd=aA Banana Shake. Yes, a banana shake. A study from the University of New England in New South Wales, Australia, was presented at an April 2009 conference of the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand. News reports in Australian media say that these researchers have taken a step toward using the phospholipids in a bedtime banana smoothie to reduce choking risk in sleep apnea.5
According to the news reports, researchers theorized that phospholipids, which are known for keeping the throat open, could be used to help open the airway in apnea patients. Bananas contain phospholipids, but the researchers did not know whether the phospholipids would stay in the mouth during sleep.
To find out, the researchers followed eight women who each consumed 130 grams of ripe banana before sleep. The women were subsequently checked for phospholipids and showed that the phospholipids remained present in the mouth after 6 hours of sleep. If the banana was blended into a smoothie, a larger amount of phospholipids was detected.
The next phase of the study will research the effects of this banana on CPAP patients with OSA. It is theorized that a banana smoothie consumed before CPAP therapy could reduce positive airway pressures, but there was no indication on whether the researchers will test the banana's effect on primary snoring
Perhaps, if the Australian studies on phospholipids prove to be effective, in a few years, treatment will all come down to a banana shake. Yum.

My burning question is how the term ended up being misspelled in the thread title when it appears it was correctly spelled originally?

Re: Fellacio and Sleep Apnea
I can't look at the word "fellatio" without remembering this incident from long ago. I introduced my then-boyfriend to a woman named Felicia.
Me: This is Felicia.
Him: Fellatio?!
It was very hard for me not to laugh. In fact, I think I failed. She, on the other hand, was not amused.

Good question, also would be curious to find out if the subjects, spit out the banana shake, or swallowed it?...SleepingUgly wrote: Did the subjects brush their teeth after eating the banana or drinking the banana shake?!
