Hell no for the same reasons as **Dung Beetle** The only time it is welcomed is when I go through that phase where in my sinuses can’t seem to make up their mind if they want to sneeze or not. It’s like: “Come on, no need for dramatic suspense, Just SNEEZE already!!” ---

> [@Dung\_Beetle](#): > > Interesting that people have a sneeze number. I always sneeze in twos; my husband usually sneezes in multiples of 12! I _hate_ sneezing. When I sneeze I know I’ll be at it for some time, often leaving me with sore intercostal muscles. If I’m driving I’ll pull over for the entirety of the fit. I’ve never thought to count, but will try to keep track the next time. My gf suggested my “always multi-sneeze” was confirmation bias, but she recently admitted to never witnessing me sneeze a reasonable number of times. ---

I look forward to a sneeze. And I let it all hang out. Make a lot of noise. Must always blow my nose afterwards. I am a two sneezer. Only time I don’t like the sneeze is when I have on my full face mask and CPAP. ---

Not only do I hate sneezing myself, but hearing other people sneeze is one of my all time biggest pet peeves. I’m a pretty chill fellow, but the sound of someone sneezing has always sent me over the moon, especially when the sneeze is “pay-attention-to-me” loud, or intentionally cutesy. :rolleyes::mad: ---

I have sinus issues, so not only am I cool with sneezes, I occasionally induce them. ---

Love it, love it, love it. Mine are tremendous shutter-rattlers. There is an anticipatory build-up that is sorta like riding the roller coaster up that first hill. Then, a sinus-shaking crescendo that feels like solid sweet release. Mine are all solo events. mmm ---

No, I do not enjoy them at all. I try to keep a box of tissue near me for when I feel one coming on. I just hate the thought of spewing mucus and spittle around the room. So gross. ---

I used to, then I got older and started hearing stories of people slipping a disc or pulling a muscle in their back while sneezing. ---

Mine comes in twos. One right after another. Always felt fantastic afterward, like a second of a drug high or a shot of Adrenalin. ---

I’m not a photic sneezer but I sometimes sneeze if I eat dark chocolate. It has to be fairly high cocoa content, something like 70% usually does the trick. ---

I’ve had a total larengectomy. So now I breath out of a hole in my neck. When I do sneeze, it’s out of the hole in my neck and not my nose. Sucks. After sneezing, my nose is still all itchy, not very satisfying. ---

I sneeze as loudly as is physically possible. Sorry, **Stuntman Mike** & **Dung Beetle** , it is not meant to offend, it is just fun. ---

Strictly neutral; some depends on place and time. But like you I often triple-up as well. ---

I might do it myself under some circumstances. But a grown man screaming over and over again in a small house, frightening children and pets, really made me want to give him something to scream about.
