I also sneeze at work - frequently and violently - but not in any other environment. This has happened in every office that I have worked in. (And if there's a subliminal sexual connection, then I utterly refute it....)

This thread reminds me of Can A Yawn Signal Arousal?-----
back to sneezing. "researchers suggest that sexual thoughts or orgasm might trigger the body's subconscious nervous system, which could lead to sneezing in some people." -by no means a definite answer
I believe sneezing can happen because of anxiety as well. My belief, which is also a superstition, is that smells/chemicals emitted from an anxious person can cause other people to sneeze.What I believe is that there is airborne chemicals (something conceptually similar to emitting pheromones) that can pass from one anxious person to other people in a room. But I'm not sure of the effect on the other person. Would they have sudden subconscious feelings of 'motherly protective instincts'... or would they catch the anxiety... or would they feel just the opposite - more brave.
Also, back on topic, I wonder if pheromones (or something similar) could be the cause sneezing.

I get the hiccups when I eat chips and salsa, which I always thought was strange and bothersome, but I guess thank god it's not triggered by boners.

Noted elsewhere on ilx previously but after tweaking one or another muscle in my undercarriage several years back I went through a period where eg getting into the car, or a low couch, etc -not all the time but say four or five times in a few months- made me climax
Eventually recovered ffs
