Thinking about sex making someone sneeze is no surprise. The nostrils are lined with erectile tissue; that's how you feel a sneeze coming on. If thinking about sex can cause a penis or nipples to become erect, a tingle in the nose makes perfect sense; and in people with a strong sneeze reflex, PRESTO!
