Or am I a weird, overzealous Q-TIP mutant?

Yes it does. Ears, nose and throat are all connected, so I always figured that was why.

I'm thinking you're a weird, overzealous Q-Tip mutant. It doesn't make me cough. But maybe that makes me the weird one?  |

No, it doesn't .
Cleaning my ears out with a qtip, especially right after a shower, feels amazing. My DH jokes that I make my orgasm face when I do it.

Nope.
Me thinks you're digging too far in.
And whatever happened to that old saying, "Don't put anything smaller than your elbow in your ear" ?

It makes my throat feel tickly (is that a word?)
I've got another one. When ever something triggers my gag reflex, I sneeze. Anyone else have that?

LOL - I've always said it is like when you scratch the dog's ears at just the right spot, and their back leg does the wild shake thing. That's how I feel when I q-tip my ears! I go squirrley when we are out of q-tips! |

No, but cough drops and peppermint Altoids make me sneeze. Every.Single.Time.

Oh yes, we use the term eargasm. They're pretty intense in the best possible way  |

Only on my right ear. I have sort of a gag reflex in my right ear. My left is fine.

Oh yeah, it does. Love comparing it to scratching the dog's ears! |

When I'm suffering from allergies or I've got a cold, yes. Like trollie said, it's all connected. |

Without fail. I can get myself into a terrible coughing fit easily but it's worth it.

No, I don't cough. But my ears will often get really really itchy deep inside and the only ways to soothe that itch are to q-tip the heck out of them, or to make this really really weird growling noise. The vibrations from the noise hit just the right spot in my ears and it "scratches" the itch for me. Better yet is to make the noise and q-tip at the same time. Oh my goodness, it's heavenly.
(Going to go hide in the corner now from embarrassment).

Yes, it makes me cough. I never noticed it until my DH pointed it out to me - his dad (an MD) had told him about that reflex, so DH thinks it's funny that I am such a perfect example of it!

It's called Arnold's Reflex.
A branch of the vagus nerve sits along the bottom of your ear canal. When you touch it, it makes you cough.
Not everyone has it, and some are more sensitive than others. I would say 50-60% of people cough when you hit it.

It doesn't for me. However, if I gently brush my lower eyelashes, I sneeze...

I always thought that meant you were putting it too far into your ear canal.
