Co-Worker's Photic Sneezes

[Mr. Black Cherry Berry Tea]

So, I'm working on a film shoot, and one of the guys on it is a very handsome Mexican man, nice not-very-big nose, really pretty eyes/eyebrows, strong jaw... in general a very good-looking dude. Doesn't do a whole lot for me, but can't deny that the man is quite attractive. Anyway, today during the preparation for the shoot, he's looking up at the sun, he randomly freezes, you can almost see like a shudder run down his back, and then he doubles over with a sneeze: "ttsssshhhhh!" it's very... insistent, maybe? Like it's a pretty soft sneeze, not loud or strong, but from the way it sounds, you can tell that he was overwhelmed by the urge. Certainly the way he froze, and how it doubled him over, helped to create that impression.

Anyway, he turns around and he says, "I'm allergic to the sun." Because he is constantly saying ridiculous things, I am more or less pre-programmed to laugh at things he says, and apparently my fetish brain was 100% turned off, cause I laugh at that statement (despite the fact that I am MORE than aware that photic sneezing is a thing, as I'm sure all of you are as well.) But anyway, he follows this up with, "No, I'm serious!" And then he proceeds to explain his photic sneezing to me. He talks about how bad it is, how much the sun makes him sneeze. He tells me that when he goes to the beach, he has to cover his eyes otherwise he's sneezing all the time.

Now unlike some of you, I am not bold (and frankly I'm convinced that if I am ever at all turned on by anything anyone does it is immediately obvious on my face), so I shut down that line of conversation, and more or less forget about it. But then, later on, another person on the shoot asks him to take a photo of the group with himself in it. So a selfie, with the camera angled up to catch himself and the group of us behind him. But of course that means... photic sneezes strike again! The first time he tries to do it, he does the same thing... freeze for a second, shudder with the oncoming sneeze, and then snap forward with a soft-but-insistent "isssshhhhhh!"

He goes on to actually succeed in taking this picture, but not before snapping a picture where his eyes are half-lidded and he's clearly still feeling the sun-inspired tickle. Anyway, that's the story of my co-worker and his rather intense photic sneezes. Hope you enjoy!

Thank *you* for this. I certainly did enjoy it. Photic sneezes are always favourites.

Another show biz photic sneezer :

"Javier Bardem can't stop sneezing. It's not a particularly cold morning, but the actor was out the previous night. Too much partying? ''I'm allergic to the sun,'' Bardem says. ''Whenever I step out into it, I start to sneeze. It sounds ridiculous, but it's the truth.''
