Nothing To Sneeze At
You had me at " Ah choo"
For as long as I can remember I have sneezed in succession. We are talking 10- 20 times in a row. This is of course a little embarrassing.
In school sneezing was from the chalk and as time went on I learned the cause was a litany of things including hiccups, bright light and swallowing the wrong way. The cause was not the problem it was the way I sneezed tiny sneezes building in succession that likened the intensity of " sigh" an orgasm.
This of course wasn't brought to my attention until I was in my late teens and then as an adult. I had one male coworker that asked me politely to not " sneeze" because it made him uncomfortable as it reminded him of an orgasm. I blushed and explained like an orgasm my sneezes were not something I could control.
The most frustrating thing about sneezing 20 times is that you need to pull over when driving, apologize in concerts and movies and you can not talk until you are finished. Following my sneeze succession I usually need to find my ground.
My sneezing has made me the center of attention everywhere I go and something I can't change. In fact trying to change it just increases the sneezes.
Recently I was walking the lake with a female friend when in the midst of a conversation the sneezes came on. I sensing it coming put my hand out to stop my friend followed by bracing myself by a tree and then I proceeded to sneeze 20 plus times and finally ending in a grand sneeze. Coming up for air after my face red my eyes met those of a middle aged man who was ready for conversation and " my sneeze" was the topic. He has so many questions and I was not ready to answer any of them. My friend tried to intervene and whisk me away however the man joined us walking and talking as if we were the best of friends and wondering why I sneezed the way I do and what made me do it? His questions went on and on.
I blushed and shrugged and looked at my watch praying I could be beamed away, This was not the evening I had planned. The man chatting away reached into his pocket and pulled out a card. " Here is my business card" he said and the rest was a drone of sound. I guess he was asking me out. I shrugged took the card and waved him away.
" Did that just happen?" asked my gal pal. I answered " yep" and again shrugged. "That is the most bizarre thing I have experienced" she gushed. I offered that this wasn't the first time my sneezes had turned a man on. I had the same experience in a restaurant and dance floor oh and on a bus although no numbers were exchanged.
Interesting enough the sneeze and the orgasm have some things in common. Both are involuntary meaning you have no control. The sneeze is considered to be one eighth of an orgasm and I guess if you add twenty sneezes you might have the equivalent to a full orgasmic experience. A medical student at work enlightened me on the topic after also blushing and saying he knew how I had an orgasm by listening to me sneeze.
It gets even better there is an entire population that does indeed get turned on by a sneeze it is a fetish. Well my sneezes are nothing to sneeze at. The Ah Choo takes the cake. I have encountered enough men that seem to be turned on so I guess it must be true.
We can't change somethings about ourselves so we do need to accept. I just might include " must love sneezes on my dating profile" or maybe not.
