Ever since I could remember I would sneeze whenever I was turned on or thinking about having sex. I am now 39 years old and I have been married for 9 years. When I get in the mood my wife knows it before I put "the moves" on her. "Wierd huh?" I haved looked on the net to see if I could find a link between sneezing and sex but I have found no answers. I there a link between sneezing and sex? "I hope I am not allergic to it." Ron I have somewhat of an embarrasing question to ask so I hope this is the place to do it.

My own personal view is that your sense of its being too painful to talk is itself worth listening to: the feelings you are experiencing <em>right then and there</em> are important, and your psychologist may be able to provide a safe environment in which you can explore and reflect on what you are experiencing <em>right then</em>. All the best, Greg Hi Valerie,

How does this help me, and how does my therapist know when to talk and when not to????? Should I continue my sessions, I do get help from them, but sometimes it is so painfull I don't want to say anything, I curl up and stay silent.
