The Sneeze December 1997 Hello and welcome to the fourth issue of the Sneeze, the monthly newsletter for people with a sneezing fetish. I must apologize about the lack of the October and November issues, things have been hectic around here, my computer has been on the fritz, and frankly the submissions have been very few. Anyway if you know of anyone who would like to be included in the mailing list please have them e-mail me at Demon327@aol.com. I am going to ask that everybody here follows a simple rule set by webmeistro in the first newsletter. That is don't trade something that you got on trade from somebody else without their permission. Some of the people with smaller collections may not be able to make later trades if somebody got all they have though an earlier trade with somebody else, and that just wouldn’t be fair. First sneezes This section of the newsletter will be for recounting our first encounters with this fetish.. "The Tissue" I was around 9 or 10 years old on vacation and my cousin's house in Cincinnati. My parents and my Aunt and Uncle had gone to lunch...it was up to my cousin Katherine to make sure I didn't wander off....(I used to have a tendency to do that). That was just fine with me because I had a crush or my cousin at the time Kat was about 14 . She was a little short, slightly squat, but wonderfully curved. Her skin was olive colored and her eyes light green. Her hair was black, very full and curly at the time. She had on a sleeveless denim shirt and white shorts (i was in puppy love!) Kat however, was in no mood to watch a little kid like me...she wanted to go out with her friends. Reluctantly, she agreed. We played basketball in the driveway for awhile, played some tag and stuff. Every few minutes, though, she would stop, sniff quickly a few times, and seemed to be "waiting" for something. Now I of course had seen her sneeze before...I mean, she IS my cousin...and for some reason had always been fascinated by it, but I didn't understand why she was so intent on it. She looked as if she was trying to "will" herself to sneeze. After a couple of seconds, it would seem to pass, she would quietly whisper "shit!". I would think the same thing in my mind...but silently cheered the sneeze on as the game resumed...it had to be in there SOMEWHERE! After awhile, Kat said we should go inside...my favorite cartoons were on. We sat together in the family room on the couch watching TV. Kat had a magazine to read while I watched cartoons....and a box of tissues. Not paying attention, I continued watching. I happened to glance at Kat when the commercial came on. She was sitting with her legs crossed and the magazine in her lap...with a tissue in her hand. She was still reading, not noticing me. She was taking the corner of the tissue, and twisting the corner up into a long, thin point. For some reason, I already knew what she was going to do with it, and immediately felt incredibly excited (whatever 'excited' is at 10 years old!) I asked anyway, "What're you doin?" Kat said, "Oh nothing...there's just something in my nose.." I said "Oh.." continuing to watch, absolutely fascinated by what she was doing. Kat continued to fashion her little tool, twisting the kleenex until it was "sharpened" to her approval - very pointed and about 2 inches long. Then, she brushed her hair out of her face....and gently began to insert the kleenex into her nose. She was looking directly at the TV, as she moved it all the way in. She was holding the tissue with her thumb and forefinger, and did not stop inserting until her fingers were touching her nose. Then she began to tickle and move it around verrrry slowly. I tried to ask here again what was going on, but she shushed me, and continued that slow, barely traceable movement in the hand that as holding the tissue. Her green eyes were starting to water, and her breathing had gotten a little deeper. Her nostrils had begun flaring ever so slightly. Again , I tried to say something - "Kat, I..." Kat cut me off breathily and whispered "Shhhh...I'm trying to sneeze!" Dumbly I said "Oh.." again, and stared at her, transfixed. She continued the microscopic tickling for a few more seconds until...she seem to find the place that was going to make it happen. She took 5 or 6 tiny, quick, barely audible hitching breaths, her eyes shut gently, her eyebrows went up...then she took 2 deep gasps, and "HUTmmmMMMLLL- CHOO!!!!! At first she tried to hold it in...but the tickle was too strong. They got louder.. huh- AAAASSSHH-HOO!!!!! They came in "doubles".... huh- AAASHOOO-aashoo (author's note: we all love these i this kind, don't we!) Finally, after 17 (yes 17) sneezes, she gently took the wilted tissue out of her nose, her face wet from tears, and said "ahhhhhhh...." Then she looked at me, smiling, ALMOST knowingly, and said "What are YOU staring at?? Watch your cartoons!" It has been over 15 years since this happened (about 5 years since I've seen my cousin)...I still think about it at least a couple of times a week. If you would like to share your first sneeze experience in an upcoming issue please e-mail it to me and I will publish it in this section. Links Here are some interesting links to check out on the web: http://www.geocities.com/SouthBeach/Boardwalk/8296 (Sneeze Fetish Online) Eyewitness Accounts From humbley@lli.univ-paris13.fr A sighting at a suburban station It was an early summer afternoon in June on a railway platform in the northern suburbs of Paris. A good few people were waiting for the train for Paris, French, West Indian, North African. Suddenly sneezing could be heard, but it didn't seem to be coming from anyone on the platform. The sneezes were not particularly loud, but they were intense. The sneezer obviously just had time to draw a quick breath between each sneeze, because each one was fully formed. It sounded a bit like a man, but as the dominant sound was a sort of splash with virtually no voice resonance, so it could have been a woman too. There were half a dozen of these sharp sneezes, then nothing. And still no one in sight. Coming up the stairs onto the platform was what looked like a North African family - two older women in western dress, a couple of teenage girls and, a few steps behind, a man of about 20, smartly dressed in a sports coat and pink open neck shirt, close cropped black hair, possibly the elder brother of the teenagers, or a boyfriend. Just before he got to the top of the steps, he suddenly bent forward, almost to the waist, and gave a single sneeze, just like the ones before. So this was our man. The girls seemed to be teasing him gently. The family took up position at the edge of the platform to wait for the train. The brother/boyfriend didn 't stay with the others for long. He turned his back on them, bent forward again to sneeze, soon followed by another, though with less bending. He started walking away from the family, towards the far end of the platform, away from the people. When he got as far away as possible, he stopped and looked over the tracks, just in time for another sneeze. Another five or six followed, but they were taking longer to get out. The opening mouth and closing eyes showed each build up, but only the release could be heard, a rasping release, the spray visible in the sunlight. He waited for more sneezes, but no more seemed to be coming, and he started to come back to the family, took a handkerchief out of his pocket and blew his nose vigorously. Then the train drew up, the family, reunited, got on board, wondering no doubt if there would be another sneeze fest on the journey to Paris. I'm envisioning this being one of the biggest and best parts of the newsletter. Please send your eyewitness accounts for the next issue. Remember it can be one sneeze and still be interesting. Just be as descriptive as possible so that everyone can picture what you saw. I need all of your help with this section. I have only received input from a couple of people here. If you have a small or non-existent collection of sneezes this is where you can shine. So send them in! This feature looks pretty empty for January! Want ads This was an idea that I just had, a place to request things that you’ve seen and maybe somebody else has. Does anybody have the episode of ER where this redheaded photographer comes into the hospital because she is allergic to cats? Does anybody have a copy of the Clinton - Dole debate? I’m told that about two minutes into it a woman in the front sneezes. Does anybody remember if Batgirl ever sneezed in the old Batman TV series? Does any body have episode 53B of 'The Electric Company'?

Hoping for bright sun and high pollen counts, Rob
