LUCKY SEVEN
There’s a rumour doing the rounds, or maybe it’s more of an urban myth, that if you consecutively sneeze seven times in a row, you will have a spontaneous orgasm. Now this might have a lot of you reaching for the pepper, but if I sneezed seven times in a row, they’d need a new definition for LBL. Google it people, after three vaginal births, it aint pretty.
OK, so writing about vaginal births is not where I intended to go with this post. No. Rewind.
I wondered the other day, after I sneezed and scared the bejesus out of my workmates, whether I was sneezing right. My sneezes give me absolutely no warning and are shitscaringly LOUD. I usually sneeze once. Twice max.
My only real point of reference is my husband. I know full well he sneezes like a wolf man, often with no warning and wakes our sleeping children so much so, they believe the world is about to end. This could also be, because he sneezes about 6 times in a row. Not the lucky seven unfortunately, so I don’t have a viable subject to ask about the “orgasmic seven sneezes”. Although, let’s be honest, if he was getting off from sneezing, not only would he be buying white pepper by the truckload, he would also have no problem with me securing a new cat.
My best friend Bonnie sneezes three times in a row. Always. I have learnt not to say bless you until she’s done with the third. But hers are small, almost polite sneezes. It's like she’s quietly telling you about something a little unfortunate. Mine sound like they intend to rip the heads of small children. Can I change my ways??
My friend @kj_nash on twitter told me this: I sneeze LOUD. My Husband once 'lost' me in Myer and found his way back after I sneezed. #betterthanaGPS
But back to the original question. Is the Big O achievable from sneezing? Well according to SNOPES the answer is a big fat no. According to 99% of the people who responded to me on Twitter, it was also looking negative.
So back away from the pantry boys and girls, nothing good other than perhaps breaking a rib can come from sneezing too often. I did learn this today though.
A little ditty about Sneezing:
Once – A Wish
Twice – A Kiss
Three times – A letter
Four times – Something better
Wow, guess that means you kids with hay fever are going to win the freaking lotto!!
Oh, and if you haven't already seen this cute sneezing panda baby, you're welcome because I'm about to make your day:

One place I used to work, we had one of those made-up 'rules' in our team that said if you sneezed three times in a row, you could go home. Bonnie'd love it!
Funniest thing I've read in a long time. Don't tell Kate. And it made David laugh out loud. Even louder than his sneezes. #snorgasm
sneeze in threes* … loudly! and the only letters i seem to get are bills. maybe i'm doing something wrong?!? xt *(except for when i have chronic hayfever, and then i would characterise it as one continuous sneeze punctuated by profanities)
I can safely say that, No, it does not result in a spontaneous orgasm. My record of sneezes in a row is 22. That sounds absolutely ludicrous I know, but i have done it, courtesy of the delightful condition known as hayfever.
Most of the time I do 3 in a row, but when i have a "sneezing fit" I get past 10 every time. It leaves me feeling like I could sleep for a year. It's exhausting.
I've seen the panda sneeze clip before - funniest thing ever!!
Oh shite, I never even thought of the whole inappropriate sneezing thing and now I'm paranoid. And I've got a cold. Not good. x
i am a huge sneezer. Massive. My record is 14 in a row and I am here to tell you that there was no double O coming my way when that record was set. My sinuses are appalling and I have a sensitive schnoz so i just hate the sneezes. Really. xx
I want to know who that 1% was that orgasms from sneezing. My sneezes are gigantic and I also blow my nose really loud - my nickname as a child was Foghorn!
I'm always a multiple sneezer, if I sneeze once it usually means I'm coming down with a cold. I've always thought that a sneeze is more likely one-seventh of an orgasm and are not cumulative.
Also, according to my best friend, a Scottish superstition is:
One is a wish
Two is a kiss
Three is a disappointment
Four is a letter
Five is better
Six is an appointment
I sneeze anywhere from 9 to 16 times in a row, most are small sneezes often mistaken for coughs. The last is always a bigger one and I am constantly teased about my pitiful excuses for sneezes. If only that big O came with it I could happily put up with all the crap I get over them :)
Oh, how could I not mention!
I 'suffer' from a condition that affects 20-30% of people called Photic Sneeze Reflex, also known as 'Achoo Syndrome'. If I go out into bright sunshine after being inside or in shade, it's pretty much guaranteed that I will sneeze at least once. Photic sneezes tend to be way louder than my regular sneezes.
I swear I could wake the whole street up with my sneezes. I've tried being more quiet, but then I just end up blowing a raspberry while I'm sneezing. Not a good look!
The sneezing panda would have to be one of the funniest things I've seen lately. Oh my sides!
I'm a quiet sneezer. I'm been told they're cute, but they certainly don't feel that way.
Hubby is like you Hubby. He could wake the baby {and street} with is sneezing ways! x
Heath - same. I am a photic sneezer too. I cannot tell you I "suffer" from it - I love it. Get me in the bright sunshine - my nose craves it.
(And as I mentioned to Bern, it may not be a double orgasm, but the sense of tension release from a good sneeze feels strangely similar....)
There have been a choir of sneezers at my work this week! It's actually rather hilarious. I think everyone in my pod got everyone else's cold. Anyhoo, I am loud, but the girl next to me sneezes like a polite Japanese person (I only say that because she sneezes just like my Japanese friend that I went to school with). It sounds like she's taking the piss...
Thanks for the mention, Bern! Yep, I'm a loud and proud sneezer but usually only a single sneeze so I can't comment on orgasming after 7 sneezes in a row.:-(
What I can say is that as a mum, and a loud sneezer, as soon as I feel that sneezy feeling I must either sit down or cross my legs. Those pelvic floor muscles ain;t what they used to be!
When I sneeze I sound exactly like my mother. Exactly.
Freaks me right out
Awwwww, I love the panda!!
Lucy - is that what it's called? Photic sneezer? Me too! I go to hang the washing, point my nose in the direction of the sun and bingo....sneeze! And whenever I step out of the shopping centre into the sun....sneeze...so do my kids.
Well that explains my lack of lotto wins!
I get hayfever all year round from different allergies each season, but I don't sneeze from it. I just get stuffed sinuses and headaches.
lol I'm pretty sure an orgasm is not attainable via sneezing unless maybe one is high on acid.
Oh, devastating, I've never sneezed more than twice in a row.
