Mandarrrrrk! Bring me the head of Dexter and Dee Dee shall forever be yours!
Been doing this since as far back as elementary school, walking outside and seeing the sun and sneezing multiple times. Could do it by looking at a lamp as well when I was little.

Yeah I have this. Not kidding, I've wanted to be a pilot most of my young life. My eyes are hosed, but surgery can fix that. Surgery can't fix uncontrollable sneezing when initially exposed to bright light. Mind, it doesn't last. I see the sun, or something bright, I sneeze once or twice, and it's over, but this apparently means I can never be a pilot. Isn't that cool? This weird thing where bright light just makes me lose my poo poo and blow snot everywhere, disqualifies me from like, the one job i ever wanted.

I can recall a couple hairy spots over the years of driving in fast, heavy traffic on a really sunny day and, whoops sun in my eyes, enjoy chain sneezing 5-6 times. Can't keep your eyes open while you sneeze so you just do your best not to crash into anybody between sneezes.

does sneezing really debilitate some people that much? i only blink my eyes for a fraction of a second, and multiple sneezes are delayed enough for me to never lose situational awareness. the idea of getting in a wreck over some sneezes seems silly to me.

Yeah the buildup is very distracting and the sneeze is explosive. Lucky you.

I was taking a piss next to a very drunk man once, and he sneezed and poo poo his pants due to the sneeze. I was working at the bar and it was his 50th birthday party and his wife, kids and entire family was there. Welp that's my story

It happens to me more specifically right after I've eaten, especially something salty like fries. If I dine in at Wendy's it's pretty much a guaranteed sneezing fit when I leave.

I got this and whenever I'm on my motorcycle I'm mildly afraid it's going to trigger and while I'm sneezing I'm going to accidentally veer into oncoming traffic.

Two theories:

As I said on page one, we've been purposefully misled by the medical elite to believe we were powerless to act, but now it is clear our time is at hand!!

Alternatively: SA isn't just the United States, maybe there's somehow a way significantly higher saturation of ACHOO Amigos in Europe or something.

e; third theory: goons as a sample group are just a bunch of overly sneezy shitters

Blowing bubbles in the vagina can be deadly, but the danger is air embolisms not aneurysms

The bigger question in the context of this thread is, why does your lady friend have a spotlight up her hooch?

23andme said this about the photic sneeze reflex for me:

"you are not likely to sneeze when suddenly exposed to bright sunlight.

68% of customers who are genetically similar to you don't sneeze when exposed to bright sunlight."

Nowadays, you can do anything that you want; anal, oral, fisting, but you need to be wearing gloves, condoms, protection.
Yeah, if I need to sneeze I look at a bright light source to bring it on. It's great.

Frankly sneezing as a reflex shows alacrity and adaptability, so maybe actually you are super hosed up and your stat build is poo poo, ever think about that?

Zesty.


I am and it's the best. Most people live their lives knowing what's it's like to want to sneeze and not be able to, I don't have that problem. Only downside is if I've been hanging out in the dark and have to walk into broad daylight, I'll sneeze a few times sometimes. That doesn't happen too often so it's basically all wins. It even works at night, I just have to find a certain angle with a street light or something and I'm gold

The sun makes me sneeze, not all the time but it does, all my life. Sometimes when I feel like I need to sneeze I look towards a bright light to help me.

It feels good to use the sun to sneeze sometimes.
