Nosebleeds. Are they really caused by sexyness?

[Grotesque Panties]

Pfft,i've never gotten a nosebleed while watching yaoi.I would love that to happen though....= w =

I'll try my best to explain; it is meant to represent blood flow to a certain "area" of the body in a more subtle way.
Generally females blush where the males get nosebleeds

I googled for a better description: "In Japanese anime and manga, the nosebleed is a visual shorthand/euphemism for sexual arousal, specifically an erection in males (which makes it all the more odd when used with a female character.)"

I was going to explain this... but you beat me to it. Nosebleeds aren't triggered by perverted thoughts. Period.

It's a recorded medical conditon. Some people have very delicate blood vessels in their nose that can rupture occassionally if their heart rate and blood pressure spike. It's very rare, though.

The Japanese just took it and turned it into a popculture joke for getting hot and bothered  

[ShySlasher]

I've walked into a wall while reading yaoi and that gave me a bloody nose, but i don't think that that counts  

[xVampirexChibix]

I've never had a nosebleed in my life, and I run into things a lot and as a child, every kind of ball hit me in the face or the head. ._. Basket ball, football...frizbee? I also think it would be fun to experience one. xD  

[Mysterious Painter]

Depends I have gotten some (Well Alot) It depend of how acuret they are if they get all the way down to the "Oh Oh Please." stuff then yeah if not NO  

[Its Dark In The Matinee]

Nose bleeds, sadly, are not triggered by sexiness.
I don't think I've ever gotten a nosebleed...  

[Vinhara]

xD No...and if I ever do, I think I would stare blankly at the blood before cracking for the next few DAYS.  

[Duke of Drag]

Man it has been years since I've visited this guild. lol.
Nowadays I frequent the aarinfantasy yaoi forums...

Actually, one time I got got a nosebleed after reading a Harry/Draco fanfic... xD

Now that was a hot fic. lol.  

[Aurumfae]

lol XD I've never had a nosebleed from yaoi~

>,> It'd be kinda cool to get one XD just to say I DID have a nosebleed like in the mangas and animes XDDDD

But, nope =3= no nose blood... ;3;  

[The Invisable Spaz]

Well when i first started watching yaoi i was thinking about it that maybe i should try writing it....i was in class and i wrote one setence that was dirty and i got a nosebleed blaugh I started laughing so hard....  

[NuclearWessel]

I've never ever gotten a nosebleeed while looking at yaoi D:
It would be so funny for it to happen though!  

[Ellen Watermellen]

That's actually a very creepy thought. If I got a nosebleed every 100 times I think of super sexy yaoi I would probably faint at least once a week.

I like to say that I've gotten an invisible nosebleed rofl Whenever I see something extremely hot, I blush like mad and just feel like I'm having a nosebleed without actually bleeding

That happens to me all the time with almost any yaoi. Sometimes I put my hand under my nose and look at my fingers to see if I have a nosebleed...
