For those of us who love being blessed

[Wishing]

Ok, a question I raised earlier on in chat, out of curiosity....

For those of us who love to be blessed when we sneeze....if you had to explain to someone why it was so important to you, what would you say? How does it make you feel and why is it so special? Is it something that (like on the related fetishes board) is a fetish for you by itself, or does it simply tie in with the sneezing fetish?

I can say from my own point of view that it's probably a fetish in itself for me, because much like sneezing, I find it a big turn on when someone does (and I don't mind if it's males or females that bless me, I'm happy with either). It's like someone cares enough not just to notice, but also to choose to acknowledge it by saying something. I just find it incredibly sexy....I'm not entirely sure if it's linked to the fact that I happen to enjoy my own sneezes, but I suppose that could also be a possibility.

Feedback much appreciated

Firstly, I only like it when females bless me. Just wanted to make that distinction. That being said, the fact that I don't like males to bless me holds some sexual connotation, reinforcing your argument that this might be a fetish in itself.

I like the fact that a girl would bless a stranger. It means that she accepts being blessed in return, even if she doesn't know a certain person. It also means that she wouldn't mind having a conversation, especially a sneezy one, in my mind anyway. I might say after she blessed me something about the AC in the room, or the dusty weather. And things could unravel from there. One of the main reasons why I get a bit excited usually.

A lot of what Lamborghini said holds true for me as well. Only enjoy blessing girls, only want girls to bless me in return, and I hope that some sort of sneeze-related conversation might stem from it. I see a girl blessing me as acknowledging I sneezed, therefore her thinking about it at all, which, ridiculous as that is, makes me happy xD

I've called it a fetish in itself in the past, but I think it's really only an extension of the fetish. I mean, nobody has a blessing fetish and not a sneezing fetish, right?

I like being blessed because, to me, it just seems polite. I'll usually bless anyone if they're nearby, too. Sometimes it feels a little strange to bless another woman, but I realize not everyone has the same kind of hang-ups we have about such things, so I try to be normal about it.

Anyway, yeah, I enjoy being blessed. It's like when you say thank you to someone, you kind of expect a "you're welcome" or "no problem" in return. And to not get that, it feels weird. Same with sneezing. Blessing, to me, is sort of a natural reaction to someone sneezing (my mom was a big blesser in our house, I think I get it from her), and when it doesn't happen, it's like there's something missing (which is why I'll often mutter a 'bless me' to myself if no one's around or if no one blesses me).

I hate being blessed myself, but I love to bless an attractive woman.

I can understand why some people really like to be blessed, but personally I don't like it at all. It would just reinforce the idea that I'd drawn attention to myself. It's kind of humiliating. Pointing out the fact that I had done something kind of gross/weak. I usually don't bless people either, I wouldn't want to subject them to that feeling (even though, logically, I know most people probably would't react the same way as me, but my empathy is always a bit stupid and self-involved).

I like both when the nonsneezer blesses as well as when the sneezer acknowledges thier blessing. I guess I like formalities and politeness and I think it is a way of saying that they do pay attention to you.

My boyfriend doesn't bless me every single time, but he does do it a majority of the time. When he doesn't bless, I get the feeling like I sneezed for no reason, like a void is there. However, when he does bless I feel loved and I feel like I exist. I am a very social person so it might be that I'm not in the spotlight for a second that bothers me.

I think it might stem from being really quiet and reserved when I was younger, in school I didn't get blessed that much when I sneezed because no one really noticed me. Just by getting blesses, it made me feel like people are paying attention to me.

I am an equal opportunity blesser, I bless people of both genders, but I'm more hesitant towards strangers. I typically favor guys blessing me than girls but I'll take whatever blessing I can get.

[LittleGoldfish6]

Gosh I hardly bless anyone ever! I find it annoying to keep saying the same thing over and over again, but I also don't do it because it draws attention to me, the blesser.

I hate to think I'm being rude but maybe I should start blessing people...it just might make someone's day?!

This is totally how I feel about it, and couldn't put it into words! So, thank you sneezybreezy, for answering this way. I enjoy the attention, and that someone noticed the sneeze. I like knowing that non-fetish people still acknowledge sneezing, especially mine.

Of course, being blessed by members of this community takes on a whole new aspect of it! Because then it's more like, "Rawr, nice sneeze," instead of just a polite blessing.

But I really enjoy both scenarios!!

I'm actually always caught between when it comes to it. xD; I don't love it and I don't hate it. I have trouble blessing other people sometimes and other times I seem to do it instinctively. I'm similar when it comes to being blessed. If someone blesses me, I'll feel slightly uncomfortable about it, because they acknowledged it and heard it and all that, and sometimes I have trouble saying thank you. However, if they don't bless me, then I panic that maybe it was "weird" or something. I don't know where it comes from. xD But I know my Spanish teacher (and for some reason also my writing teacher..) blesses people in Spanish, which for some reason for me has always been more awkward.

I'd love to be blessed, it's sort of... it would give me pleasure, but to anyone else I did something normal and them saying "bless you" would be an acknowledgement of that. Like a confirmation that I successfully hid my secret

But I don't have the nerve to sneeze in public so I've never had the chance.

Interesting, you know that there is a certain etiquette guidebook which states that saying "bless you" when someone sneezes is actually an impolite behavior?

As for me, I'm actually never blessed by anyone, so the feeling is kind of unknown... But I do like to bless girls, however it has gotten me in trouble in the past

I never bless men, but I occasionally "dammit, cover your mouth!" them.

[Dawnie]

I guess I just told my spouse that it makes me feel good when he blesses me. And that I don't like gesundheit as much as bless you. It took a little while, but now he's really good about it and I appreciate it.

I really do love being blessed, but I'm generally embarrassed as hell to sneeze in public. I think that when someone blesses me I at least feel like someone is politely acknowledging the sneeze, rather than leaving me to think that I've just made a complete ass of myself in public. If you bless me, then it's almost like you're saying it's okay that I sneezed...isn't that ridiculous?

On the other hand, being blessed by someone with the fetish is just a WHOLE other sexy experience itself, like Sneesee said. It's so hot for me to know that I'm turning someone on with the fetish, and even though I'm still embarrassed, I feel like a good fetish-receiver can almost get me over it. Does that make sense? Fetish-receiver sounds stupid, but I honestly can't think of a better way to put it. I think my very favorite blessing of all time was from Sneesee and VFP when we were cuddled in bed together. Burned into my fucking memory, that is.

[LittleGoldfish6]

wait..it's rude to bless someone? lol what guide book is this?

[Blessing Queen]

I love bless and being blessed! Both are important and means a lot to me! I feel good blessing people and I really wish it to the person who sneezes,it's not an automatic reaction,but a sincere wish. Of course,I just love being blessed!

Sometimes during an hour long class, two people will sneeze, and one of them will get blessed, and the other won't. It's the same people in the room, and I have small classes, so it's not like one sneeze was on one side of a large auditorium, and a whole different set of people heard it. I always feel really awkward for the person who sneezes, and doesn't get blessed. When I sneeze, and no one says bless you, I just figure that the people I'm around aren't big on blessing people. But it's super awkward when you've just heard them bless someone else.

Anyway, I just like being blessed. I have no idea why, especially since Gesundheit does nothing for me. Sorry that my post is so non-linear...

I've noticed this in my classroom as well ... very odd.

I go back and forth with blessings. I love being blessed by my boyfriends (plural because I'm referring to both current and past, not because I have more than one ) but other than that, I get embarrassed when someone else blesses me, and I especially hate when a blessing comes from a family member. On the flip side though, if I don't get blessed I usually think, "What the heck! I just sneezed! Come on People!" I guess I'm just never happy

I almost never bless my students unless they are having a fit (akward!) I wonder if they notice?

[BelieveInRollins]

I don't know why, but i don't like being blessed....at least by my family members lol That's why i stifle my sneezes..to avoid it lol
