Sneezing vs Coughing : what's the common point?

[Elektra]

Hi guys, 

Okay, so I've been wanting to do this one for quite a while. I know that every now and then something regarding coughing pops up, so apologies if this particular topic already got explored (??) let me know.

I know a lot of us are into coughing as well as sneezing.Me, I've had both since I was a kid, and both always mattered, (sneezing and coughing) but they would take turns at the top of the list.

I was wondering : why do these two fetishes seem to work together for many of us, myself included? What's the common denominator?

A few uneducated guesses would be : letting something out involuntarily, loss of control, vulnerability (pain?), inducing care-taking, something that escapes the mouth, the unexpected explosion of sound, sometimes with voice sometimes without, expectoration/snot being either produced/or not, body shaking, helplessness....

And not wanting to point out the obvious parallel with other sensual explorations...

...Still, I wonder! Why and how! Feel free to join in the conversation, enlighten me with your understand of the process or your own experience...

I think it's the illness behind it. Many people here get turned on if someone is sick so coughing and sneezing are both part of it ?

Loss of control, helplessness, not to mention the physically convulsive aspect of it. Coughing doesn't smash nearly as many buttons as sneezing for me (probably half a button tbh) but there are certainly obvious parallels and it makes sense to me why other people might enjoy it on a deeper level.

That, definitely that.

The being sick part doesn't necessarily partake for me : especially if there's contagion involved, it's a turn-off.
