Sneezing fetishism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The sneeze fetish is a sexual fetish that is characterized by a person's interest, pleasure or sexual attraction to other’s sneezing, and/or a person’s own sneezing. There is only one published academic article about sneezing fetishism, despite the large community of individuals who share the fetish and for whom it plays an important role in their experiences of sexuality.
Like with every fetish, sneeze fetishists have their preferences:
- Loud/medium/soft
- Stifled/unstifled
- Sound of sneeze
- How they cover their mouth/nose
- Some enjoy to be sneezed on/ others are repulsed by the idea (note being sneezed on is different form being stifled upon)
- Cause of the sneeze: allergies, common cold/illness, dust.

[edit] Origin
Most sneeze fetishists have had this fetish since they were very young, and cannot remember how or why they have it. It is believed that fetishes come from classical conditioning. However, there are cases in which the fetish was developed late enough in life for the fetishist to be conscious of when they began to view sneezing in a sexual manner. Furthermore, at times the partners of sneezing fetishists who indulge their partner's fetish may begin to experience sexual feelings related to sneezing themselves, even if they do not self-identify as sneeze fetishists.
[edit] Other Facts
People with this fetish can be heterosexual and still enjoy sneezes from both genders. Some people are heterosexual and enjoy only sneezes from the same gender. The same goes for homosexuals with this fetish. The preferences and tastes vary as widely as in any other sampling of individuals with shared sexual preferences.
For most sneezing fetishists, the fetish plays an important role in their sexual satisfaction. Many sneezing fetishists report that orgasms are more easily attainable and/or intense when brought about using sneezing role play, listening to recorded sneezes, having a partner sneeze for them or reading sneeze fetish fiction ("sneezefic"). Additionally, many sneeze fetishists have other (sometimes unrelated) fetishes and are often also aroused by "traditional" sexual stimulants.
Many sneeze fetishists are very self-conscious about sneezing in front of family members or in public. They often cite a mental block that prevents them from sneezing out loud. They will often stifle sneezes in public, or retreat to a washroom or other private space in order to sneeze unobserved and unheard by others.
Almost universally, sneeze fetishists do not enjoy sneezes from their own family members (parents and grandparents are most frequently cited). For some, living with family members who suffer from allergies or frequent illness can be very stressful. Some fetishists are just as upset by their own sneezes as their family's, but others can get turned on by their own sneezes, and may induce sneezing using a wide variety of methods to increase their enjoyment of the fetish.
