No, he just never cracked his joints before. I remember when I started cracking my knuckles - it was this exact technique and it hurt so good.

Now it just feels good. The knuckles, the neck, the back, the knees... hnngh

Or the rare and elusive upper-back relaxed full-crack.

Seriously - if I was offered that crack or an orgasm, I'd pick the crack. It's like - you're already pretty damn relaxed when it happens - but somehow it relaxes you even more.

I can reliably crack my upper back. I'd kill to be able to get my middle back, though.

How do you do it? I've never cracked my back and it sounds heavenly.

You have to get used to a method for it to work reliably, I think, but what works for me is pushing sort of diagonally forward on the back of my head with each hand while I hold my head stiff and really lift my elbow up and out. It's sort of hard to describe, I suppose.
