This is soooo cute!

 

[How About No]

fuck man, I feel horrible for that guy. Hope he's doing ok

Yeah he's got a shitty situation but I'll always remember the thread and whoever posted

Spoiler

DROPPIN' FUCKIN' LOADS

 

[kittoo]

I have it too. My first GF found it very cute, the others never knew.
Mine is not severe. I get 1 or 2 in the beginning, but thats about it. I dont get them continuously.

I've also learned to use it as a tool to know how attracted I am to someone and how sexually compatible I am with a new partner. Usually sneezing the first few times I have sex with someone means the chemistry is great.

Haha never thought I could use it like this.

 

[InfiniteBento]

This sounds pretty adorable tbh

 

[007]

I don't sneeze, but I laugh when I climax.

 

[Theonik]

This sounds moe as fuck.

 

[GhostBed]

OP, does this get you into trouble when with your SO in public? Like, if you walk by a cutie at the store and you sneeze, would your GF slap you?

 

[Osahi]

So if you are not carefull you can give your girl another kind if facial?






(Sorry)

Hasn't happened yet, but I'd say I was thinking about her.

 

[Rest]

That must be incredibly annoying. Do you mates mind?

 

[pokeystaples]

You are not alone, OP. I have this too. It doesn't happen all the time, but often enough for me to tie sneezing and arousal together. I have gotten lucky in that most women find it pretty cute.

 

[Struct09]

Hey baby, time to blow my nose.

 

[Izuna]

Sounds like a Desperate Housewives skit.

This is exactly the topic of a column from The Straight Dope 32 years ago

As far as postcoital sneezing goes, you have to realize that in sex, "idiosyncratic reactions are myriad," as one researcher puts it. Having scoured the literature (and in addition having polled the Straight Dope production department, whose sexual eccentricities are legendary), I have compiled the following partial inventory of unusual physiological reactions to sex:

(6) Urge to urinate or defecate during or after orgasm. Some women, in fact, emit a clear fluid that, depending on whom you ask, is either urine or an analog to male ejaculate.

Gaf loves this one

(7) Sneezing fits.

This appears to be your problem

Exactly what causes all these things is not clear. In general, however, they probably result from one or both of the two generalized physiological reactions that occur during sex: vasocongestion, i.e., heavy blood flow into various organs (not just the obvious ones), and myotonia, or increased muscle tension. As long ago as 1875 it was known that sex sometimes causes "engorgement of the erectile tissue of the turbinates," i.e., nasal swelling and congestion, often accompanied by sneezing. The sneezing may be caused by some mechanical irritation of the nasal passages triggered by orgasm, or (and I quote) "it can also be initiated by stimuli from the higher cerebral centers such as the psychosexual images which are commonly associated with copulation." Very romantic.

If you ever want to stop the sneezing, some doctors recommend administering a nasal anesthetic before getting into the sack. I have a somewhat boring prescription here calling for 1 percent tetracaine and 2 percent ephedrine sulphate, but I note that in ages past they used to use cocaine. No fooling. Give it a whizz and let me know what happens. If that fails, one remedy in the Journal of the American Medical Association requires "cauterization of the Fliess nasogenital areas," which sounds pretty horrible. I'd say you're smart just to leave things alone.

 

[Thelonelykoopa]

That sounds adorable annoying but adorable.

 

[FStop7]

I had this from around age 12 until my early 20s. It eventually went away.

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

Never heard of this, but I know of someone who almost always coughs after because she holds her breath, or so I've heard.

 

[HyperCubed4]

...Yes, actually. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Usually doesn't happen if it's a passing thought, but if I'm thinking about it intensely, I'll get a tingling in my nose and I'll sneeze.

The threads I find on GAF, I swear.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

I had this as a teenager. Now and then if I'm thinking about sex I'll sneeze.

Just like I sneeze in the morning when I see the light for the first time. The human body is bananas.

 

[Crantius_Colto]

I was wondering if there were any other people her on GAF who suffered from this, and what your experiences with it are.

Actually, yes. Occurs only with thoughts and is really rare, so I wouldn't call it "suffering". Don't really know what kind of arousing thoughts cause it, since naughty thought usually come and go without it. Sometimes, though, it's a tickling deep inside the nose, other times I just have to sneeze pretty quickly. It's always a rather light sneeze, nothing compared to getting dust in. And the threshold to actually sneezing is crossed rather quickly leaving me kinda surprised (but satisfacted). It's one of the things I always wanted to google but always forget about quickly for some reason. Almost like Pennywise. Thanks, OP.

Edit: Never had it with looking at the sun, but know plenty of people who do.

 

[adamsappel]

Never sneezed, but whenever I've been with someone new, orgasm makes me laugh uproariously, though with time it eventually stops happening. Last time I had sex I had an orgasmic headache, which wasn't fun at all.

 

[sono]

Probably best not to admit to that at work, otherwise everytime you sneeze there..

 

[Messofanego]

This sounds like some neural wiring got a bit crossed.

Ok, that's what Wikipedia is saying too.

It's kawaii as hell, dude! Bet girls would be like ^_^ when witnessing this

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Jup. During puberty it happened very infrequently.

 

[Hinchy]

Yeah, me. It's something that seems like it should be kept private but it's innocuous for me to not care. Usually it's a couple times. I sneeze plenty at any time though, so it doesn't make me afraid of sneezing in public or anything.

 

[creatchee]

Omg this happens to me too - whenever I think of something really sexy, I sneeze twice in rapid succession. Quite forcefully, might I add.

I honestly thought I was the only one.

 

[Mimosa97]

I have it too. My first GF found it very cute, the others never knew.
Mine is not severe. I get 1 or 2 in the beginning, but thats about it. I dont get them continuously.



Haha never thought I could use it like this.

You're welcome ^^

We should start a club

Aroused sneezers unite !

 

[BibiMaghoo]

I'm sure it a nightmare to deal with, but it sounds adorable.

Haha, this. I have never heard of this being a thing before.

 

[Daria Morgendorffer]

Yeah I've never told my friends about this, because I'd never be able to sneeze around them, but the partners I've had always thought it very cute,it was a plus in those relationships.

If we were to start a club what would we even do, watch sexy stuff together?

 

[NoTacos]

Bless you, OP.

LOL. Shut it down guys, we're done here.

 

[Kangi]

I'll echo that this sounds adorable. Though also inconvenient.

Probably a good thing this isn't more common.

 

[Arkos]

HER: I have a rare condition where every time I sneeze, I have an orgasm.

HIM: Oh wow, what do you take for that?

HER: Black pepper.

 

[Khaliss]

Thank you OP for entertaining me while browsing GAF on my tablet when sitting on the can.

However I can't imagine how awkward this must be when you explain this to your partners!

Good thing if they take it with a sense of humour and go with it.

Just be thankful you're not belching instead.

 

[The Lamp]

I have this too. Omg I didn't know it was a thing other people had!

Sexy thoughts make me sneeze immediately.

 

[Zombine]

My leg shakes when I get head but other than that no sneezing. I would take a sex sneeze over a sex fart any day though.

 

[theusedversion]

I usually get horny whenever I feel the need to take a dump. I guess it's the whole prostate thing. Not very cute like OP.

 

[Joyful]

must have made sneaky masturbation hard for you growing up OP

 

[spindashing]

Happens to me sometimes on my own. I never knew this was a thing but I have not bothered to look it up.

 

[Muskieratboi]

OP, you'd make a killing in Amateur Porn.

Ever Huffed Pepper as a viagra substitute? (j/k)

 

[Ben Morales]

Wow... I thought I was alone in this. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens often enough that I started to think it may not be a coincidence. Like, sometimes if I get really aroused I'll have to sneeze right at that moment and I'm like wtf.
