I thought someone would call me on that. But what I mean by disgust is the disgust of an idea or a visual stimulus. Like conscious disgust. I rarely gag. I can stick a toothbrush down my throat and not gag, but when I do gag it's involuntary, no matter what I "think" about the smell or taste, a censor in my brain tells my throat to gag. And still it would take something like a dead body rotting for days in sewage to make me gag at all.
Is it normal to be generally impossible to disgust?
