    Reminds me of my ex that would regularly need me to assist her with her stuffy nose as she had already discovered this effect. Do I ever miss that dusty apartment.

    There’s this old Finnish saying: “Nuha lähtee nussimalla” which translates roughly to “Fucking gets rid of flu”. Guess there’s some truth to that, then.

    Why not write orgasm relieves sinus congestion? Do we need to codify how orgasm arrives? What about a stampede of angry zebras? That usually does the trick for me

    Oh yeah!

    Before I had septum surgery and I’d get constant congestion I thought that jerking off actually helped me to breath better. Honestly I actually thought it was placebo, nut apparently not!

          That’s why, to this day, removal of a woman’s uterus is still called a ‘hysterectomy’. As in, removal of what causes hysteria.

          The Greek word ‘hystera’ means womb, or uterus, so ‘hysteria’ is literally just ‘uterus syndrome’. To take a broader brush, it kind of means ‘woman syndrome’.

          Surprises me we still use this naming convention in English, given the obvious modern connotations.

      Wet dreams? Though when I’m sick, congestion seems to disappear when I sleep (only to return after I wake up.) So if that’s normal and if wet dreams have some kind of decongestant property, we may never know.
