In anime females blush prettily when they are romantically touched by the situation. What do males do? Well, one answer is that they become so aroused that they bleed from the nose. This may range from a drop to a literal gout, which certainly looks weird the first time you see it. Note that unlike blushing this symbol carries suggestions of a males inability to control his sexual lusts and thus is far less innocent. Needless to say this symbol is exclusively male (although I have vague memories of seeing one anime with a female nose-bleed).
