Mental block for others who know about it

[-lilac-]

So I recently told my partner about it and he is thankfully very supportive. He says he feels the urge to sneeze more often now that he knows, but whenever he feels it coming (especially when I'm around), he gets mental block and can't do it. He does want to, it just doesn't happen. I understand because I get mental block too, but I just don't want his to get to a point that it somehow becomes unhealthy because his body can't do what it's supposed to. Has anyone else experienced this or know any ways to help? Or is it just something that comes with time?

It's a great thing that you can talk about it, and I think that it will get better with time. I understand your partner to a certain extent, because to him it's not naturally sexual and he's probably nervous about your reaction to his sneezes now that he knows, even though nothing has changed for you. You loved him before he knew and that won't change even if he never sneezes again. After all, sneezing isn't a condition, just an added bonus if it happens.

It's definitely a big thing to be able to talk about it, and I'm honestly surprised at how comfortable he already seems about it. You're definitely right, I love him no matter what, and honestly I care much more about him being healthy than him satisfying me (though of course if he chooses to, it's always appreciated lol). Thanks for your response, it helps :).
