How long can you tickle or withstand a tickle before you sneeze?

[sneezefan222]

For me it depends.  If I’m inducing, I can tickle for about 20 minutes before I have to sneeze.  If it’s allergies…maybe a tenth of that time 😂

[Sneezergirl]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell...if I actually have a really hard time holding back sneezes! I can hold them back for...maybe 5 seconds tops? maybe less. 

[peach2218]

If I’m pressing on just the right spot with a bobby pin or something, maybe 30 seconds. 
 

If it’s chhinkni, 10 seconds max. Hands down the strongest sneezes I’ve ever experienced.  
 

I don’t really try to hold them back, though, unless it’s a natural sneeze happening in front of other people. In that case, I can will it away altogether.

I'm also a very sensitive person when it comes to inducing especially. But really trying I could maybe withstand lika 10 seconds haha. When hitting the right spot? No way I can hold that back for long

[pepperbreeze]

Quite a while if I'm tickling my nose with a tissue or something, probably 10+ minutes if I'm really trying, but it gets pretty tortured near the end.

Very excited to try chhinkni at some point to see how long I can keep on top of that.

[PapaBear70]

Not very long. Once I have the tickle to a certain point, it's got to come out. If I hold it back, the need to sneeze goes away most times.

Chhinkni is a little different. There's not much holding back. That stuff hits hard and fast, and the sneezes just flow

[Melody]

I honestly can hold a normal sneeze off indefinitely. Years of a mental block I guess. If it’s really tickling I can make it go away temporarily, but then it always comes back like 10 minutes - 20 minutes later and won’t stop until I sneeze.

chhinkni is a whole other ballgame. Lol. I’ve never tried holding back but I sort of think it would be impossible for me.

Do you guys enjoy holding back or are you always trying to get it out?

[PapaBear70]

I'm on the side of getting the sneeze out. I can see the appeal to seeing how long you can withstand a sneeze, but I'd rather just get to the sneezes

Well, I just induced and I couldn't really hold back for more than 3 seconds or less

I usually try not to sneeze but don't stifle itself. My tickle feeling is soft, so I relatively can hold it back.

I have a hayfever and kept sneezing at spring time. When I tried hard holding back my allergies at that time, urge was so strong, bot I could hold back over 6 hours. Though, I got really exhausted for resisting sneezes that long, I let it out +20 sneezes after 2 hours.

If it’s chhinkni, for about 30 seconds, the scent of spices fill in my nose. If it gets the right spot and try to hold back, 5 seconds max. I am like "heh, HEHHH, ACHOOOOOO!!" It's intolerable.

Not very long to be honest

That I can relate.  Anytime I sniff spices, they get to me before I can even think about holding back.

I just take a twist tie wire and wiggle it in my nose and if you get it in the right spot than a sneeze could be intense! but they say it's better to just use a tissue twisted to a point.

[klick22]

If I literally pinch my nose shut I can probably hold back indefinitely, although it wouldn’t be super comfortable haha. Once the tickle is there, it’s usually not going to completely disappear, especially if it’s intense. I understand the appeal to holding back though - trying to control the uncontrollable!

I’d be worried about nosebleeds if I used a tie wire.

That’s cool!  What’s the worst thing to hold back to in your opinion?

[klick22]

What do you mean by worst thing?

Ohhh yea it’s definitely hardest for me to hold back induced sneezes with a clothes tag or anything thin and pointy. When I’m tickling my nose it’s just too hard not to sneeze!

For me its a twisted piece of paper.

M gave two answers, if she induces she said a bobbypin, but if I try to make her sneeze it's also the twisted tissue paper. (Never underestimate the power of the almighty tissue :p)
