Apparently, there's a target audience. Anyone up for the challenge?
The article gets extra poetry points for the inclusion of the phrase "a phlegmy trifecta".

For most people, a sneeze is nothing more than an ordinary biological act: one "achoo!" and it is over. But for a certain group of enthusiasts, a sneeze means much more.
Many swoon over a delicate "htchew!" accompanied by a fine mist. Some like the breathy buildup, some like the release afterward. Others prefer them in series, one after another after another, in a phlegmy trifecta.
Music to the ears? Maybe not for most. But for those with a sneezing fetish, hearing, seeing or having a sneeze tickles them in all the right places. And with allergy season upon us, enthusiasts can look forward to some quality sneezing.
Take, for example, the members of Sneeze Fetish Forum, a site with discussion boards related to all things rhinologic. One poster describes a woman who has the "cutest sneeze ever. She gives a big 'ahhh.' Makes the squeak sound of a pinched stifle, and then lets out a loud 'chooo.'"
Response posts were alternatively congratulatory and envious of the poster's encounters with the sneezer.
One wrote: "Oh, what I wouldn't do to work in a desk beside your co-worker."
Another said: "That's great! I wish I could make a certain someone allergic to me."
Though experts have no simple explanation for how sneezing fetishes -- indeed, fetishes in general -- develop, sneezes themselves are not simple at all.
Long article. Read the rest here.
