Smelling someone else's sneeze

[RockEdge27]

Has anyone ever been around someone who sneezed into the air and was able to smell their spray afterwards? Like if it's a really wet sneeze...If so, what was the situation like and how would you describe the scent?

[Garnet]

You've made this topic a few times, haven't you? I find the whole concept pretty revolting, it speaks to me of an underlying bacterial infection (similar to a yeast overgrowth having a distinct odor) but obviously some people are really into it!

[Mr Sneezy]

I absolutely love it. If the person has good oral hygeine, their spit shouldn't smell much at all....but I have been there and enjoyed it.

[Leafeon78]

No I wouldn't do that its horrible but like others said their is people that enjoy it.

[OhDearBlessYou]

I find it gross. Especially when they have a cold. Ugh, just no.

[GoldenOwl]

Blech. I have had this happen a few times, and the smell was awful. An instant turn-off for me, to be honest, but hey, everyone's got their preferences.

Oh noooo, this is like the topic that just won't die. The same few people talk about how much they love it every time it's brought up, then it goes away for a few months and then one of those same people brings it back up and everybody has the same discussion with the same people all over again. Why this.

Anyway, it turns my stomach and is generally an indicator of poor hygiene, infection, or diabetic ketoacidosis, so that's all... pretty awful.

[PuddinPop]

It's not my thing at all. In fact, I wasn't even aware it was a thing until it kept getting posted numerous times

I'm gonna agree with June on this one. I have never noticed a smell before and really wouldn't like to. It seems to me that everyone who has ever snez around me has been healthy enough not to emit a putrid odour so I guess I'm kinda lucky?

I really hope it stays that way too

But, each to their own!

I'm not sure if I commented on any of the other threads you've made about this, but I'll remark that I smelled a sneeze for the first time a few months ago, and it was totally awful! Very sickly sweet, like if cinnamon had a sinus infection. Someone I knew had a cold and their sneezes had a smell for, like, weeks afterward, even though they seemed perfectly healthy after just a few days. And the smell would linger.

Ever since then, whenever I smell cinnamon, my first thought is, "Did somebody sneeze in here?" and it completely ruins the thought of a sneeze for me, because it's associated with, like, throat bacteria. There's even a plant on my boyfriend's street that smells exactly like it. I'm so not into it!! I think we are hardwired to want to avoid those kinds of smells, because they signify that there's something potentially harmful (even if the harm is small, like catching a cold) in the air.

[Heavy-Chevy]

That just sounds really gross and unpleasant to think about, at least for me. If that's what some folks are into then that's their business. But personally, I definitely wouldn't want to ever smell somebody's sneeze just for the ick factor.

[sneezeboy]

Its true that there are a few of us who have a fetish for smelly sneezes.

To all those who find this gross;please keep in mind that a smelly sneeze is not an indicator bad health in most cases.It is certainly possible for a perfectly healthy person to have smelly sneezes.I have witnessed many smelly sneezes from different people(only women) and I would say they're all healthy. My mom is one of them,I've shared my jobs of her sneezes at many places on this forum.

Nobody's begrudging your right to find this sexually attractive, but this is literally not true. There is no reason to have a smell after your sneeze unless your oral hygiene is poor or there is some kind of underlying health condition like infection or diabetes. Do some research on it - medical science says there is no reason for a person with good oral hygiene who is completely healthy to have any type of scent to their sneeze.

[sneezeboy]

Would you care to elaborate as in whether the sneezer was male or female,age, what sort of smell?

My mom(43 y/0) has had sneezes that smell like cinnamon for many years.She has had examinations by different medical professionals, turned out it was nothing.No diabetes,infection or anything else.

Smells don't magically manifest out of nowhere. If it isn't ketoacidosis, bacteria is involved even if infection isn't present; it has to be because there is literally no other mechanism by which a smell would be created in this case. Again, you can enjoy this aspect of sneezing all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that it's not normal/healthy for a person's sneezes to have a distinct smell.

Just adding my two cents here. But, first a disclaimer: you can obviously like whatever aspect of the fetish you like.

That being said, your mom, or anyone else who has a sneeze that smells is absolutely due to bacteria. (Trust me, I'm a scientist!) And yes, it might not mean she has an active infection (one due to pathogenic bacteria), like strep throat, bronchitis, sinus infection, you name it, the smell is still due to the natural smell of whatever normal bacterial flora are in the mouth. Fun fact: there are more bacterial cells in your body than human cells! (And quite a few of them reside in your mouth, nose, throat and lungs).

Brushing your teeth regularly, flossing and mouthwash eliminate some, but never all, of the bacteria. So, a smell of varying degrees results due to the amount of bacteria present at any given time. A 'wetter' sneeze, one that brings up mucous or spit, is likely to have more of a smell than a dry one because of the amount of bacteria present is greater in bodily fluids than just the air expulsion escaping your mouth/nose (The more viscous the material - spit, mucous v. air alone, leads to a higher concentration of bacteria).

Conclusion: This is why, of course, we should all cover our mouths and noses. Less bacteria flying everywhere, less smell.

[sneezingbeauty]

i have never experienced smelling someones sneeze, but my younger sister keeps telling me that a smell (as a joke) like a sneeze. i'm like wtf?! but she's a not particularly hygienic person so she probably smells her own lol

[BananaTree]

Never had it happen to me and I hope it won't!

So basically you are implying that my mom has harmless bacteria in her nose/mouth hence the sweet,cinnamon smell of her sneeze right?That might be true although I must add that she has better oral hygiene than most people(including me) and I have never smelled my own sneeze .

My sneezes(often uncovered and always dry) never smell, but mom's wet,spray sneezes which are always covered do smell.

[bloom]

No, not implying. Outright stating.

Would you care to elaborate as in whether the sneezer was male or female,age, what sort of smell?

Pro Tip: Don't ask people who are obviously revolted by the situation to recount it for your obvious personal pleasure. What the hell, man?

It's about as subtle as a brick to the face.

Also I really wish his mom would stop being mentioned in the context of things he finds sexually arousing... this entire thread needs to be bleached.

He doesn't have to ' recount' the experience if he doesn't want to.I would appreciate it if you keep out of things not concerning you.
