How far back does your obsession with sneezing go?

[a-tissue]

I'm just wondering how old people were when they first remember being obsessed with sneezing - not necessarily in a sexual way. I can remember being 4 years old and being fascinated/obsessed with sneezing.

[VoOs]

Mm, same here. 3 - 4 years old.

At that time, sneezing was both an obsession and something similar to a phobia. I loved sneezing in picture books, and when people told me stories involving colds or allergies, but real-life sneezes and sneezing in movies and cartoons freaked me the hell out.

I would probably say 4 or 5, i can always remember watching things like Dungeons and Dragons, Incredible Hulk cartoon and the cartoon series of Police Academy and being intrigued by sneezes in those shows.

My earliest memory of it is from 4 years. And yes, it was always pleasureable in "that way".

[•.*°•☆. Q .☆•°*.•]

I vaguely remember being terrified if anyone sneezed near me in person until the age of 6. I would run and hide because I didn't want to catch germs. But I looooooved it in tv programs. I can remember watching Sneezly and Breezly at the age of like 3 (which is literally as far back as my memory serves me.)

For as far back as I can remember until like the age of ten; I HATED sneezing. My family members were basically all I was around though and always sneezing, gross. But then when I was about ten or eleven I remember adoring this sneezy boy in my class (who stayed that way through out school) I was able to identify him through his sneeze & I think I remember telling a friend I think this boy had a cute sneeze. :x I suppose I always viewed it that way, looking back starting with him. Though I do remember liking and at the same time being very uncomfortable with sneezy TV shows or movies. I don't know why, I think It reminds me that I adore blessing & being blessed but I'm too shy to actually bless someone so I end up texting them a bless you instead. ):

that was basically me too....

I was 3-ish, and I'm with pig; it was always pleasureable to me in "that way"

I was probably 4 when it surfaced. I'm not sure if anyone remembers SARS way back in late 2002. We had relatives in Hong Kong so it became a frequent topic at home. I even wrote about it in my diary, but I refused to write about the symptoms because they included sneezing! :/

By 6 years old I was in first grade. I used to zone out in class, taking in all the different sounds of sneezing and identifying each sneeze with the respective kid. I was very amused... but I think my teacher smelled a rat. She told my parents I wasn't paying enough attention in class.

Such a surprising age for all of you. I would say that I started obsessing over sneezing at 14. I guess they sounded cuter as I got older.

[SneezySal]

As far back as I can remember, I was amused by sneezing sneezing in books and on TV, but the first time it became associated with 'pleasure' was a specific incident that happened when I was eight. Since then it's grown to be a strong association.

When I was in pre-school, whenever the teacher would read us a book about sneezing, I would love it. In third grade, this girl sitting next to me was allergic to dust, and kept sneezing, so I kept pushing all of the dust from my pencil sharpener towards her, and it would make her sneeze. The only person that i don't like too watch sneeze now is my twin sister.

[a_lotofthings]

My first relevant memory is sneezing in a book when I was about 6 or 7. It was the american girl dolls series (if anyone remembers those) and it was definitely "pleasurable."

aaack but does anyone else remember the sesame street episode with the sneezing SONG?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-5Pz3w_YPA I feel like I saw it when my sister was about that age...like '98?

The same age is true for me, and, while I had exactly that same feeling of arousal, I didn't know that's what it was. I couldn't label it as sexual arousal. I just loved it. (And I knew this made me different. I hid it and felt guilty about it.)

[marv77]

As far back as I can remember.

[PollenFiend]

The earliest time I remember is from when I was around 7 or 8. I was playing with my action figures (some Ninja Turtles, maybe a Swamp Thing), imagining they were sick and sneezing. I didn't know why, but it was kinda fun. Then as I got older I became fascinated with commercials and shows on TV that involved sneezing. By that time it was a definite preference for female sneezing. I remember getting very, very excited by a specific commercial for allergy medicine whenever it came on and glued myself to the TV, giving it 100% of my attention.

[March Hare]

Almost as far as I can remember. Also, from a very early age, there was always the embarrassment. I simply hated it when somebody sneezed in my vicinity when I wasn't all alone. And people sneezing on tv was even worse - I remember several occasions when some cartoon or other made me literally run out of the room to hide my horribly confused reaction to the sneezing from my sisters. I was forever hunting for sneezes in books and videos, but it was all to be a huge secret, especially when I was a child. On the other hand, I tried to corporate it in pretend playing all the damn time, wanting my friends to pretend they had a cold, dictating how they should act. It wasn't until my 13th or 14th that I discovered the sexual aspect to my fascination.

[Kshu]

As long as I can possibly remember! But at first, it was more of a disgust I really hated it, from anyone. Except on TV, I was absolutely fascinated whenever anyone on TV was sick.

[Zebra]

About 3-4. Wow, if some of you mean what I think you mean then I am SSOO glad I'm not the only one who liked it in *that way*

And telltale your signature pic is beautiful

[a-tissue]

Wow, it sounds like it's fairly common for it to go back a long way.

[Hissybella]

hmm I was 5. man, I didn't know what I was doing, but I started humping my blanket while replaying that scene from Scooby doo when they're hiding and their noses get tickled over and over again in a more dramatic way.

[_Daisy_]

It's sort of strange...I actually HATED sneezing until I was about 10 or so. I was always fascinated by it, but it really freaked me out to watch anyone sneeze.

[Rhomberg Rabbit]

I first noticed it about age 5 when the girl next to me in class sneezed and rubbed her nose and I desperatly hoped she'd do it again. I even remember her name.

[Bluebird]

My earliest memories are from when I was around 2 or 3- probably 2 1/2, but I think I was a little older than that. It all started with my parents reading me Cinderella, she sneezed in the story and I asked what it meant, and I was instantly hooked.

[deepinhale]

As far back as I can remember. I had a babysitter who would sneeze every time she watched me. I remember observing her closely for any sign of a sneeze. She probably thought I was a very strange little boy, staring at her all the time
