a short survey about wetness of sneezes( of women)

[sneezeboy]

So I have been thinking about this, and decided to carry out a short survey three questions.I'd appreciate it if you all could spare out a minute or two and answer them according to your observations and experience.

1- Is it more common for women to have a wet sort of a sneeze( like achoo,echeeww, atishoo) or a dry,cough like sneeze?

2- Is the percentage higher of men or women, who have wet sounding sneezes as compared to dry,cough like sneezes?

3- Have you noticed any relation between the wet/dry sound of the sneeze of a Woman and her race/nationality?

1- In my experience, it depends entirely on the person. If one assumes, however, that women have more 'feminine' sneezes, it could be suggested that they aren't as wet-sounding because they are likely to be more held in or stifled so as to deliberately avoid wetness.

2- This may sound odd, but I feel that most female sneezes I've heard have been a little quieter than their male counterparts, thus making the sound of 'wetness' in the sneeze more audible.

3- I have never taken note of any variations on the relative wetness or dryness of a sneeze based upon a woman's nationality. Perhaps the sound of a sneeze could be altered slightly by accent or dialect, and the degree to which it is stifled may well depend on the acceptability of sneezing publicly in one's culture.

Hope this is helpful for your research

Well thanks for your input,I'd like to go over your answers with you.

1- My bad I didn't mention before, but when I only meant natural,un stifled sneezes. Once a sneeze is stifled,it is modified and therefore unfit for this survey. My own observation , based on the fact that I am a Syrian(by origin) and have lived in the United States my whole life, is that the vast majority of women do in fact have wetter sounding sneezes rather than dry,cough-like sneezes.The women I am referring to are obviously either my family or the locals(both white and black) that I see on a daily basis in the US.

2- That is a hard one for me.Most men have wet sneezes too instead of dry,cough-like ones.

3- I guess I agree with you on that.

Interesting topic, I'm surprised more people didn't comment on this.

For 1 and 2, I feel like men more often have wet sneezes since they tend not to hold back compared to women, which is really unfortunate since I only really enjoy wet, female sneezes. Also I find that while sneezes that have a "shh" or "chh" sound definitely tend to be wetter, this is not always the case. I have seen women with dry sounding sneezes wipe their arm off, and women with very wet sounding sneezes only to see that their arm is completely clean afterwards.

3, I have not noticed any relation with regards to race/nationality.

1. From what I've seen, I think more women have a wet sneeze (in the U.S. at least) 

2. Men seem to more often have dry sounding sneezes (except for my husband, his sound like echew and they're so sexy and amazing) 

3. I haven't

Hello!

1) I think it depends on the culture. In countries where women are expected to be really feminine (such as Russia, Ukraine and Latin American countries) they have more wet sounding sneezes.

2) In general I would say that  slightly more women than men have these feminine wet sounding sneezes. Its more acceptable for them. However in children its the same between boys and girls.

3) Yes. In Northern/Eastern (and some) Western European nations it is very common for females to have wet sneezes. On the other hand in countries like the USA, Canada, Australia and Southern Europe it is a bit more common for women to have dry sneezes (cough like and "masculine"). I still don't know why. Maybe in louder "cultures" and warmer countries its more like that.

I don't know if I quite understand what you mean by "dry", if to you "cough-like" and "dry" are the same thing.

In my experience, it's more common for men to have sneezes like "HURRRSSHH" or "HURRSHHOO" that are kind of one long, drawn-out syllable of breath, but it's more common for women to have sneezes like "Huh-kshoo" or "Ah-kishoo" or even something like "Het-kit-chew", that are more "broken up into syllables". I wouldn't call either "wetter", it's more like the first kind is more "mouthy" and "lungy" and the second is more "throaty" and "nasal". This doesn't bother me because I prefer the second type, and I'm attracted to women.

However, the sneezes that I'd consider "cough-like" or "cat-like" are ones that seem to have little force behind the exhalation, that sound like "sh" or "ngtsh", sometimes with a vocal "cheew" added almost as an afterthought, and sometimes in rapid-fire multiples. These are sneezes that sound like stifles even when they aren't, and these (unfortunately) also seem more common in women than men--as are "held-off sneezes" like "Huh-(wait for it....)-cheeew".

Like BillyS says, it seems that there's less of a difference between boys and girls than between men and women, but some men as they grow up get more "mouthy" and almost "yelly" with their sneezes, and some women start to stifle. But I wouldn't say male sneezes become "drier", in fact it's probably more acceptable for men to sound "snotty and gross" than it is for women.

I see that you've made a connection between wet sneezes and femininity , and dry/cough sneezes and masculinity.That's interesting. I never thought of it that way.

You've written "In Northern/Eastern (and some) Western European nations it is very common for females to have wet sneezes."

Can you be more specific please on what countries you are referring to? I mean you've included nearly all of Europe when you say "Northern/Eastern (and some) Western European nations".

When I say cough like sneezes , I literally mean those sneezes which sound like a cough.

All cough like sneezes are dry however every dry sneezes is not necessarily cough like.

 Hello. I have noticed that people in countries like Britain,( esp the more north you go), France, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Russia have more wetter sneezes. Italians, Southern French, Spaniards etc on the other hands seem to have dry sneezes. I don't know why but this is open to speculation.

I'll say I agree with you , especially on the first two questions. Your source doesn't prove anything though.

Wow its interesting how you say that even in Britain the people in the north have wetter sneezes.
