Sneezing when turned on..........

[londondave]

Sometimes when I get turned on, usually if I think of, or about to participate in something slightly kinky like bondage I start to sneeze.

When I was a teen it was just fantasising about a girl that triggered it.

Anyone know the cause or experience similar.

just a byproduct of arousal - hairs in your nose are standing on end and tickling, most likely.

I remember a myth at school that said that a sneeze is approx. 1/20th of an orgasm and girls where continuously sniffing pepper in the playground!

It may be explained by the theory behind the so-called Photic Sneeze Reflex. Read here

I recall reading somewhere, that the tissue in the upper nose is very similar to the erectile tissue in the penis. When an arousal occurs it stimulates both. Can't provide a link i'm afraid

Cheers all. Interesting answers, I do know this happens to some girls too when they think about sex! When I told a mate about me he told me one of his exes had the same thing and he always knew when she was up for it.

ah, Mr.Ix, so that's why eskimos rub noses

So I know if you fancy me then you start sneezing your head off? Quality, it certainly takes the guesswork out of the equasion!
