Sexy sneezes
January 1, 2009
A man has been found he sneezes every time he has a sexual fantasy.
The man suffers "uncontrollable" sneezing fits whenever he had a sexual thought. His case was taken on by ear, nose and throat specialist Dr Mahmood Bhutta at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, UK, who has since started a study into the link between the two.
Dr Bhutta said: "Although internet reports do not give us an accurate incidence, our findings do suggest that it is much more common than recognised."
Sneezing usually occurs in response to nasal irritation. Eyebrow plucking can also provoke sneezing, but more puzzling sneezing triggers are also known.
One was the 'photic sneeze reflex' - an apparently inherited sneezing reaction to sunlight, which affects almost a quarter of the UK population. More rare were cases of people from the same family sneezing after meals.
