What's the best time to start sucking when using an asthma pump? Right at the time you press the pump, just before or just after?

Have you ever had a toke of a cig or a spliff?

No? Ok.

What I do with mine is start breathing in as soon as my finger starts depressing the cylinder. I (usually) have a deep enough breath to get it all in from there. I find the vacuum effect helps.

Sometimes, if I'm in the middle of a fairly bad attack, I find that I might need to do this three or four time to have the effect that I want - if some medlad might point out that I'm doing this wrong (and indeed have been doing so for some twenty years) then I'd love to hear it.

Yeah you pretty much want to start breathing in right as you press it, if not slightly before. Basically as long as you are actually sucking the spray into your lungs/throat, rather than letting it just hit your mouth, then you'll be reet.

Also I remember my doc when I was a kid telling me to hold my breath for a bit after inhaling it so I usually do, even though nobody has told me to since.

Look at it like this.

Let's simplify things a bit and assume that the delay between pressing the pump and when the gas starts to come out is zero. The ideal time to start sucking would then be exactly when you press the pump so you capture all the gas and don't waste any time sucking in empty air.

The practical problem with this is that it would be impossible to perfectly synchronise sucking and pumping. If you follow the strategy of aiming the beginning of your sucking with pressing the pump, over the long term there will times in which you start sucking a bit late and fail to capture some of the gas. Somebody who followed the strategy of starting to suck slightly before pressing the pump would capture more of the gas over the long term.

So, while the theoretical, mathematically ideal optimal strategy is to start sucking exactly when you press the pump, the real world, practical optimal strategy is to start sucking a little time before pumping.

Agreed?

That's kind of interesting. The real world solution is slightly different to the solution we arrive at if we mathematically idealise the problem. I can think of another simple example of this principle.

In order for a male to monopolise a female's reproductive lifespan and capture as many offspring from her as possible when would be the best time to start fucking her? Under mathematically ideal conditions in which the start of a female's fertile period can be ascertained precisely, the best time to begin fucking her would be right at that point. By starting to fuck her when she becomes fertile and continuing until she ceases to be fertile a male will capture the whole of her reproductive lifespan.

Just as with the asthma pump, this doesn't quite work in the real world because it's impossible to perfectly synchronise the beginning of the fucking with the beginning of fertility. Males who followed this strategy over the generations would sometimes start fucking their females a bit late and fail to capture some of thier fertile years, possibly losing them to other males. The males that would stand the greatest chance of capturing all of their females' fertile lifespan would be those who play it a bit safe and start fucking them a little before the average age that females become fertile.

Human females living under natural conditions typically become fully fertile in late adolescence around about 17. If human males have evolved to try to monopolise females' reproductive lifespans, and there is good evidence that they have such as the universals of marriage and possessive jealously, then we can expect that the best age for human males to start fucking their mates to be a few years below 17 at probably about 14, maybe only 12.

(A good day to you Sir!)

This thread has opened my eyes. There's really no difference between asthmatics, autists, and paedophiles. Thanks, .gs.

Maybe I have a little too much respect for our denizens here, but is this an elaborate joke/parody post?

I think .gs is lurked by one of those 'paedophilia is scientific' types who jumps in whenever he gets the opportunity. The mod squad is quite on the ball about him.
