Erotic Asphyxiation… Leaves me breathless! Erotic Asphyxiation; I would think to be one of the most unmentionable of the extreme fetishes that occur in sexual encounters today. Erotic Asphyxiation is the term used when someone takes pleasure from being suffocated and the use of it during sex play. If performing solo masturbation and involving asphyxiation it is referred to as Autoerotic Asphyxiation where as, when more than one person is involved it is called Breath Play. Both of these forms have never been accepted as a safe sexual activity and any person is definitely taking a risk if they choose to try it out. Other terms used to describe Erotic Asphyxiation are: choke chicks, scarfing and gaspers. Autoerotic Asphyxiation is thought to be the more precarious of the two described. To heighten sexual pleasure while masturbating, it is the practice of self-strangulation. Self-strangulation may also enhance or induce erection of the male. The strangulation device is used to occlude blood-flow to the brain which creates different degrees of hypoxic euphoria, diminished ego controls, giddiness, light-headedness and exhilaration. All of which may increase sensations and orgasm intensity. While highly pleasurable, AEA is also an extremely dangerous practice that results in accidental deaths each year. Breath Play between two individuals can be done in many different forms. Suffocation by a plastic bag over the head, pressing down on the stomach or covering the mouth with their hand is referred to as the less vicious methods. What is more common is the use of choking by tightening grasp around the neck. Placing the hand around the neck can be enough to bring your partner into a state of both euphoria and fear. The combination of helplessness and sexual pleasure gives the rush of adrenaline from the danger. The risks that lie with this method are the cause of damaging or breaking the windpipe, or even strangulation. It is impossible to tell when someone is about to go unconscious and it only takes as little as five seconds of strangulation to cause death. It is especially dangerous when asphyxiation becomes addictive and obsessive. I wonder how many people know about the actual dangers involving Erotic Asphyxiation and Auto Erotic Asphyxiation and if they did would they stop their dangerous sexual activity? Obviously this fetish of the darker side of pleasure is not an encouraged practice due to the fact it can result in fatality or injury. But I figure if you're going to do it, educate yourself about it! I find this to be an extremely hot and erotic fetish. The trust you would gain and need to acquire from your sexual partner would drive such an intense and passionate affair… the blood would rush to the most extravagant explosion. "being reminded of death should be erotic for most of us. We should get moist and hot and hard at the thought of it.” “One has only to take a small further step to recognise that this transcendence of time and space is a form of psychic death. To be swallowed up by blackness is an exquisite pleasure. It is to know ecstasy, but it is to also die." - Part of an essay found at the Black Plague. Erotic Asphxiation…
