Why Do We Sneeze?

7. Sex
Sneezing can even be set off by the most unexpected activities including sex. You might not have noticed it yourself but a lot of people do tend to sneeze after the act. You might have even done it yourself sometimes and not noticed the correlation.
We are not completely sure why this happens, but some think it might be something to do with the parasympathetic nervous system. It is this that causes sex to be as pleasurable as it is, and the stimulation of this system might also be a trigger for sneezing. Some people might sneeze when they orgasm, while others might start sneezing just by having sexual thoughts.
