Do you like to sneeze?

Asked by knitfroggy (8982points) April 30th, 2009

I have a lot of allergy/sinus problems. So I’d guess I probably sneeze about 20 times a day on average. I enjoy sneezing-I think it feels good. A friend and I were talking about it and he said he thought that sneezing was better than having an orgasam! I told him he must not be doing it right.

Does anyone else feel this way? I mean, I love to have a big fat sneeze, but I don’t know how it compares to an orgasam.

Not when boogers/mucus are a part of the deal.

@Jayne What’s funny about your sneezes?

cak's avatar

@Jayne So do I. I hate to sneeze, because I will hear snickers, every time. Lurve!

Sneezing feels so good.

But I hate the almost sneeze and then not following through. You have to have follow through.

@chyna That is so disappointing, isn’t it. I usually look at the sun or a bright light and then I can sneeze.

chyna's avatar

@knitfroggy Sometimes that doesn’t work though.

I hate sneezing. I’ve grown very adept at fighting off sneezes.

knitfroggy's avatar

@chyna Very True, but I always give it a try!

I really love to sneeze. I find it cathartic. But even though it feels great, it doesn’t really come too close to orgasm, for me. If an orgasm is a 10 on my scale, a sneeze is about a 4, I think.

@petethepothead : I agree.

Love it. I love to just let ‘em rip, too. No girlie sneezing, here. I actually got a compliment once for sneezing and not holding back.

I’m sure you’ve heard this joke, but…

A woman on an airplane kept sneezing and sneezing. Finally the flight attendant asked if she could do anything to help. The lady told her no, that she had a rare disease where every time she sneezed she had an orgasm. The flight attendant asked, “What do you take for it?” and the woman replied, “Pepper!”

Ya’ll smell that peppa?

I think I’m the only person in the world who thinks this sketch is hilarious.

I like to sneeze. It means that I am getting rid of something that should not be inside of my nose. that is always good :)

I like the relief, when i have just one or two sneezes…but when I’m having an allergy fit, no. I hate it when that happens.

miasmom's avatar

I like to sneeze, just not when I am peeing.

I loathe sneezing. I have horrible allergies, i never just sneeze once, its always at least 30 min of sneezing. It gets old after the 3rd one. Theres no reason i should have dry/cracked skin under my nose when its 90 degrees out.

I too like to sneeze. My mom is the same way. Everyone else thinks we’re nuts. I don’t have allergies but I still sneeze quite a bit. I also tend to string together anywhere from eight to fifteen sneezes, never just one.

Dansedescygnes's avatar

I like to sneeze, but people make fun of mine too… :(

I guess because it’s kind of muffled/squeaky sounding sometimes. At least I don’t have a really loud violent-sounding sneeze.

“But I hate the almost sneeze and then not following through.”

It’s like the blue balls of sneezing. ;P

Jamspoon's avatar

I love sneezing.

chyna's avatar

@Dansedescygnes Yeah, exactly! Um, I think, wait, I’m a girl, I don’t really know.

Jayne's avatar

My sneezes tend to be violent to the point of discomfort, especially if they are due to sickness or allergies (I also have a strong photic sneeze reflex, and those can be fairly pleasurable) and so they are not only loud and somewhat snorty, but I also have the air of someone trying- and failing- to suppress a sneeze, because if I loosened up more I would spew my brains out onto the surface before me.

I FREAKING LOVE SNEEZING! I especially get mad when people say “Oh what you gotta sneeze?” Right before Im about to and then it goes away its like when your two seconds away from having a orgasm and the man stops!! What a let down :(

charliecompany34's avatar

i love to sneeze.
since i have allergies and stuff, it feels so good to expel the angst of, well, pollen and dust and things in the air.

however, i do not enjoy sneezing when i get a whiff of powdery seasonings in the kitchen rife with salt and pepper and garlic. that is a whole different kind of sneeze.

when my sneezes come in waves or attacks, it causes me to subsequently cough violently to the point of vomiting.

but yeah, a sneexe is relieving most of the time.

I enjoy sneezeing, it is the highlight of Monday mornings for me. I normaly sneeze about 4 times in a row. Or just once and its worth it. I have never sneezed from looking at a bright light though.

It’s on my “next best thing to having an orgasm” list, along with:
1) scratching a really bad itch
2) drinking water when you’re really thirsty
3) pooping
4) massages

jonsblond's avatar

Three sneezes in a row = multiple orgasms. :D

@petethepothead love the new avatar!

Usually I love to sneeze. Especially when you’re sick and you can’t get that stubborn phlegm to come out. In that case, sneezing is the best.

But lately I’ve been experiencing this terrible cramping pain when I sneeze. I think it has to do with my round ligaments stretching out because my uterus is expanding. Pregnancy is peculiar.
