I appreciate it when people share testimonies of learning at a later age lol.
The vast majority of people learn it as kids/teens, and a dramatic shift in a person’s talent is still something that’s hard to come by, which makes the whole concept of learning from scratch or having a dramatic improvement feel like a myth, or at least, a rarity.
I also think it’s very interesting how so many regulars here (a community dedicated to burping) can’t burp on command at all. In reality, there are many factors involved in that result, and many of those users were probably never too interested in learning in the first place, but I still can’t help but feel demotivated from those numbers when it comes to the likelihood of new people learning and improving as adults.
I really want to see more people shatter the illusion of the talent being a static thing.
I realized I haven’t answered the question. I figured out air swallowing spontaneously as a kid. A few years later, in middle school, I saw that people were able to long ones with continuous gulping. (I’d already realized it was possible before but I just never really cared lol.) Then, with me already having the fetish, I was exposed to many talented girls, each with their own unique variations of the techniques, and I always tried to understand what they exactly did and what caused the differences between their burps, even if I didn’t always implement it myself.
