I have never met someone else who has tested it, so I don't know if it's common or not, but I can blow air out of my tear ducts. When underwater at the pool, it looks like two narrow streams of bubbles rising from the inside corners.
Your tear ducts (and everyone else's as well) are connected to your nasal cavity. It's where tears drain and partly why we get runny noses when our eyes are tearing up.
Definitely more unusual to be able to force air the other way, but not impossible. I'll sometimes do it accidentally if blowing my nose too hard.
You can push liquid through them too. Makes it look like you are crying milk/blood/whatever.
I have decided that this is dating advice.
Neat!
I saw a drag queen use liquid eyeliner on her waterline (you're not supposed to do that) and it came out her nose lol
Do you do it deliberately ?
I discovered it by trying to "pop" my ears under water, but since then exclusively deliberately.
Here I am trying to pop my ears and detect outgoing airflow. My wife looks at me suspiciously. I had to explain "so there's a guy (?) on Lemmy..."
Everyone on the internet is a guy, chief. 😜
I pinch my nose and close my mouth and blow hard. First the ears push out and "pop", then I feel pressure building up in one or the other tear duct, then a squeaking, wet sound as air escapes from one and then the other duct. My eyes need to be open for this to work.
Good luck!
