How do You Sneeze? Survey

[Coldlover]

 

Do you stifle? Only if I'm super embarrassed about sneezing and don't want anyone to hear. 

Do you pinch your nose when you sneeze? Only if I'm trying to stifle. 

Mouth sneezes or Nose sneezes? Mouth sneezes because I find nose sneezes to be too messy and sore. 

Messy sneezes or clean? I can't help getting a bit messy sometimes especially if I'm really sick, although I don't like being messy and find it embarrassing. I hardly ever sneeze unless I'm sick.. 

Covered or uncovered? Covered

(IF) Covered, with a hanky or into hands/arm? I used to always use my hand but since covid I've been using my arm which is more hygienic obviously. 

Finger under nose? No

Nos rubbing before/after sneeze? Not so much due to the sneeze, more from irritation from snot which may be caused by the sneeze. 

Nose blowing? Yes I hate sniffing and always feel so much better after a good blow if it's a productive cold. Some of my colds are really snotty for some reason. 

Rapid fits? No, usually only 2 in a row or sometimes 3.

"I need to sneeze"/"I'm gonna sneeze" before sneezing? Sometimes, other times the sneeze comes really quickly. 

Sniffling? No! So embarrassing, I hate doing this in public. 

Big Loud sneezes or more petite ones? Mine are pretty loud, it's so embarrassing. 

Long build-ups? Not really. 

Hitching of breath/speech? No, I usually need to stop talking completely before I sneeze.

Do you stifle? I actually don't know how lol.

Do you pinch your nose when you sneeze? No that makes my nose hurt afterwards.

Mouth sneezes or Nose sneezes? Nose.

Messy sneezes or clean? My sneezing doesn't really get messy unless I use chhinkni then I need lots of tissues.

Covered or uncovered? If with people then covered otherwise uncovered.

(IF) Covered, with a hanky or into hands/arm? Into arm or hand if they're quick to come on.

Finger under nose?

Nose rubbing before/after sneeze? Either or sometimes both.

Nose blowing? Never unless chhinkni is involved.

Rapid fits? I almost always sneeze twice in succession.

"I need to sneeze"/"I'm gonna sneeze" before sneezing? If I talk I lose the sneeze.

Sniffling? Quite a bit.

Big Loud sneezes or more petite ones? Definitely small ones. My boyfriend calls them kitten sneezes.

Spelling of sneeze if possible? Something like... "Eitchew" but small. 

Long buildups? Medium build ups.. definitely a bit dramatic.

Hitching of breath/speech? I get very breathy yeah.

[SneezeKitties]

Do you stifle? it depends, if i'm alone then no, but if i'm in public or with friends then I hold back a little. 

Do you pinch your nose when you sneeze? No, I have tried it before but it just hurts 😅

Mouth sneezes or Nose sneezes? It depends on it I am sick/allergy attack or if they are just normal sneezes. 

Messy sneezes or clean? Mostly clean, i'm a bit of a germaphobe so messes kinda gross me out. 

Covered or uncovered? Always covered. 

(IF) Covered, with a hanky or into hands/arm? I used to just use my hands, (I always had hand sanitizer with me so I would use it afterwards.) but with covid and everything then I have been trying to get into the habit of using my elbow. 

Finger under nose? no, it doesn't really do anything for me. But I do think its kinda hot when others do it. 

Nose rubbing before/after sneeze? Maybe afterwards, if I do it before it often gets rid of the sneeze altogether. 

Nose blowing? Sometimes afterwards if I am sick, or have allergies. 

Rapid fits? sadly no, I sneeze normally once maybe twice. I don't sneeze often which kinda sucks. 

"I need to sneeze"/"I'm gonna sneeze" before sneezing? To be honest my sneezes just kind of turn up without warning, though sometimes I know if I might end up sneezing, so I guess in my head i'm like "oh i'm going to sneeze" if that makes sense. 

Sniffling? often times yeah :))

Big Loud sneezes or more petite ones? They can go either way, louder when I am alone, but quieter in public. 

Spelling of sneeze if possible? oh boy errrr something like: Het'chushs 

Long buildups? they are super rare for me but do happen. They are more likely to happen if I induce. 

Hitching of breath/speech? No, but I wish I did

[Clark Kent]

I've never completed anything like this as it makes me feel super awkward so here we go:

1. Do you stilfe? I attempt sometimes but it rarely goes well.

2. Do you pinch your nose when you sneeze? Only when desperately trying to holdback a build up.

3. Mouth or nose sneezes? Both

4. Messy sneezes or clean? Toss of a coin

5. Covered or uncovered. Depends on my location.

6. (If covered) into hands or a tissue

7. Finger under the nose? Most times while I'm hitching repeatedly.

8. Nose rubbing before or after sneeze? Usually just the finger under the nose building up.

9. Nose blowing? Not a fan but essentially after an allergy fit

10. Rapid fits? Only when trying to stifle deep into a set of sneezes they turn to rapid stifles

11. I try to avoid announcing as much as humanly possible as much as I love to hear. Its pretty obvious when I'm going to sneeze without announcing.

12. Sniffling? Depends on the cause of the sneeze.

13. Big loud sneezes? Big and loud 

14. Spelling of sneeze? huashoo

15. Long build ups? How long have you got? Multiple rapid sets if hitches- sometimes vocal sometimes sharp breath inhales.

16. Hitching of breath/speech? See above. Relentless pre sneeze hitches which are so difficult to speak through. Can be double figure hitches. 

Thanks for listening while I squirm x

I'll go first. When inducing I like to flare my nostrils as big as possible(I already have pretty large nostrils) and let out an uncovered full nose sneeze to get as much mess. Sure it may hurt with the first few cleaner, dryer sneezes but once the nose starts going it REALLY feels amazing.

4: clean

5: always covered in public, sometimes uncovered if I’m alone

[BlessMeAchoo]

1. Do you stifle? Not always, but most of the time, yes.
2. Do you pinch your nose when you sneeze? Not naturally, mostly when I'm inducing.
3. Mouth sneezes or Nose sneezes? Defenetely Nose sneezes. I prefer to be in the quiet side.
4. Messy sneezes or clean? Clean, I hate when it's messy, seeing sprays, mucus and snots. AND the feeling of my nose dripping everywhere.
5. Covered or uncovered? Covered for the people around and because it looks cuter in my opinion.
6. (IF) Covered, with a hanky or into hands/arm? I don't have hankies or tissues, so hands. But I think sneezing in tissues are attractive, and a man sneezing in his shirt is also very hot.
7. Finger under nose? Not really, maybe my knuckles sometimes?
8. Nose rubbing before/after sneeze? Sometimes before, but most of the time, the sneeze doesn't happen.
9. Nose blowing? Hate doing it, hate hearing it. Only love to read it in fictions.
10. Rapid fits? Very rare, and my fits are an average of 2 sneezes in a row.
11. "I need to sneeze"/"I'm gonna sneeze" before sneezing? Never, I don't talk about sneezing due to mental block. At least when people say this I can look at other things when they sneeze.
12. Sniffling? Since I don't blow my nose, yes of course. And defenetely a Guilty Pleasure to hear by someone you like.
13. Big Loud sneezes or more petite ones? Petite, discreet ones.
14. Spelling of sneeze if possible? A proper example would be : Hngk'chu
15. Long buildups? I wish lol.
16. Hitching of breath/speech? Neither.

Anything unique about how you sneeze?:

My sneezes always sounds differents, sometimes classic stifled, sometimes coughlike, sometimes there's sound at the end and other they're silent.

[gothicsnz]

1. Yes, often.

2. Not really.

3. Both, actually.

4. They tend to be rather messy.

5. I try to cover but sometimes I sneeze uncovered if I'm alone.

8. Yes, both.

9. No, I hate blowing my nose

10. Nope, usually just a couple drawn out sneezes

12. Absolutely.

13. Both.

12. yes

13. medium I guess?

14. Hah-etchiew 

15. I wish

16. not usually

 

[LapidotLover22]

1. Do you stifle? Yes, almost always. It's just habit now.
2. Do you pinch your nose when you sneeze?  No, my sneezes are like bunnies in that it takes very little to stop them, so I only pinch if I don't want to sneeze.
3. Mouth sneezes or Nose sneezes?  If I actually let it go, I guess it feels like 70% mouth and 30% nose. I used to try to make it just nose but it never really worked  until I got good at stifling. Then it's the other way around, but there's... less overall, if that makes sense??
4. Messy sneezes or clean? Clean since I stifle. If it's uncovered there's a good amount of spray, I'd say
5. Covered or uncovered? Covered, usually. I'm good enough at stifling that I don't really need to cover if my hands happen to be full, unless it's a stronger one 
6. (IF) Covered, with a hanky or into hands/arm? Hands (more like one hand, I kinda shove it into my nose lol) at home or alone, arm at work or in public, tissue if I use chinknni. 
7. Finger under nose? No, that doesn't work, otherwise I'd totally do it
8. Nose rubbing before/after sneeze? Like I said for two, my sneezes can be very skittish. I rub if my nose is just itchy, which is often, but if I feel one actually coming, I do not touch my nose unless I want to stop it. I'll rub after if it's still itchy but I know I won't sneeze again, but usually the sneeze takes care of it.
9. Nose blowing? Only after chinknni or after washing my face (the latter having nothing to do with sneezing. Oh, and when I'm sick bc my nose will of course be running like a waterfall. I usually blow my nose if my nose is itchy, which makes my nose run, which makes it even more itchy, which makes run even more. So not really in relation to sneezing
10. Rapid fits?  No.
11. "I need to sneeze"/"I'm gonna sneeze" before sneezing? I don't bc the last thing I want to do is draw attention, hence my stifling prowess, but I like when other people do it.
12. Sniffling? Yeah, but not really in relation to sneezing. Skittish sneezes means sniffling will more than likely put a stop to the sneeze. I do sniffle a good deal on the daily, but if I feel a sneeze coming, I stop sniffling so it'll come to fruition. Might be some sniffling after, though.
13. Big Loud sneezes or more petite ones? Petite. If I just let them go, which isn't often, they still wouldn't be very big or loud. As it is, my stifles can go undetected by someone standing right next to me (that or they don't feel the need to acknowledge, which is good enough at any rate)
14. Spelling of sneeze if possible? (I induced for accuracy) Hhh... Hhhh... Hehhh-CHHhht
15. Long buildups? No, a few mostly silent breaths and then release. Longest it might take (starting at the conscious certainty that I'm going to sneeze) is seven seconds, and that's likely a reach
16. Hitching of breath/speech? A few silent hitches maybe, usually just the one, and I never need to sneeze while talking to someone
