Thinking of sex can lead to sneezing in some people

Recent study revealed that thoughts of sex can lead to sneezing. Dr Mahmood Bhutta, an ear,nose and throat specialist at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford initiated a study to find whether there was any connection between thinking sexy thoughts and sneezing when a patient reported "uncontrollable" sneezing fits every time he had a sexual thought. He scoured chatrooms looking for examples of conversations about sneezing and sex by typing both keywords into Google. During study, 17 people (both males and females) reported sneezing immediately after thinking about sex. Three of those people said they sneeze after achieving an orgasm. Bhutta said, “I was surprised by how many people reported the same reflex in Internet chat rooms. I think this reflex demonstrates evolutionary relics in the wiring of a part of the nervous system called the autonomic nervous system.”
