Masturbation will clear you up for a bit.

Interestingly this may work, but I'm not sure anyone has studied it (perhaps I will do a lit search).

There's erectile tissue in the inferior turbinates that is responsible for the nasal cycle.. maybe after an emission it's more flaccid?

Sadly I do not suffer from inferior turbinate hypertroohy/ alternating nasal obstruction to test this on myself.

Edit: This has been studied.... I now have one more option in the "medical management" toolbox

I think it has something to do with needing more oxygen, just like doing push-ups will help and so will running around or even just stopping your breathing for ~30 seconds. Your body will eventually go into a higher alert state.

It just helps for a short bit though, when you relax your nasal passage does too and blocks all again.

It would by a sympathetic response from catecholamines -- that's how it constricts; however, I didn't know that it had been studied and was actually effective in real life until today.
