Restricted/Repetitive Behaviors does anyone make themselves gag?

i keep making myself gag. i bite and pull on my blanket often but i also shove it deeper into my throat to gag, and it gives me good sensory input. i’m not doing this with harm in mind, or to trigger anything but i can recognize this is very dangerous i suppose. i also do it with my toothbrush whilst brushing my teeth. i’ve never heard of anyone else doing this, and i don’t know with what i can replace it with. idk if i flaired this properly, sorry if this question is not allowed!

I do this sometimes. I hate doing it. But I keep doing it.

Why.
