Tis the season for allergies, my friends! I didn't know I had allergies, but it turns out I do! It's really exciting! Taking this fact into account along with the fact that I have recently had a request for talking about spooning and specifically coughing, I thought it was about time to dedicate a post specifically to a super sexy internal organ's relation to coughing - that being the LUNGS!
In my experience, coughing and spooning is a combination so sucky it makes the Noo-noo on Teletubbies look like it doesn't suck at all. And for those of you who don't know, the noo-noo is basically a giant vaccuum cleaner. Nothing is worse than being mid-cuddly moment and finding that you have a tickle in your throat, and knowing that that jolting, obnoxious cough is coming. Or maybe you have a ninja cough, where it just sneaks up on you. Even worse.
Damn ninjas, being all sneaky and whatnot. But unlike ninjas, coughing is not sexy or exciting.
But there's a good chance that the person you're spooning with won't mind too much. Generally, they'll try to be a good sport about it, and maybe even give you a little extra TLC in light of your exhalation issues. Of course, you should behave in a similar manner towards them should they be stricken with a cough.
Of course, you can always opt for some cough medicine, or my personal favorite, that candy-esque jewel that soothes spasming throats, the cough drop. It might be a good idea to opt for a cough drop flavor that your fellow spoon doesn't mind, especially if this is a regular spooning partner. Cherry menthol or anything ricola are my personal favorite. Definitely check out the ricola link in this post; it is definitely worth 30 seconds of your life.
(You know what's also worth 30 seconds of your life? SPOONING.)
Anyways, if you're more involved with your fellow spoon, you may have to reevaluate the whole kissing/coughdrops thing, but I'll leave that to you. You're smart. I'm sure you can figure it out. Just don't choke on a cough drop while kissing someone. Talk about a moment ruiner.
Other good options to fighting the evil that is the cough include liquids. Being hydrated is good for you anyways.
Anyways, feel better and best of luck fighting any cough that you may stumble upon!
Happy spooning! (And happy spring allergy season!)
