Skipping right to the list of topics covered, I could not quite make out what the deal was:
Definition of breath control [okay]
The Difference Between Snuff and Breath Control Play [where have I heard that word before?]
Why do we do it? [I already know this—to get a consistent gentle air stream so my notes don’t waver]
Good Partner Material [well that might make it more fun to practice I guess]
Partner Play Methods and Risks [Risks? What on earth…?]
Alternate “Breath Play” methods [okay]
Solo Play Methods and Risks [Risks? What is the deal with these risks?]
Physiological and Emotional elements and risks [the stuff about the diaphragm I guess, maybe talking about relaxing your mind]
Legal history of prosecution and mortality stats [Have I lost my mind?]
Possible long term health risks
Common Injuries
Who is most at risk [Uh, where am I?]
Suggested reading materials or sources
So I went back to the top and read the disclaimer:
This free site is devoted to the health, safety, and education of those that want to learn about erotic asphyxiation. This is not a pornography site or a site to promote erotic asphyxiation. It merely exists to educate and inform those that already enjoy this play.
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE YOU GUYS! I must go lie down now.
The world is, indeed, not a safe place. Never has been, never likely to be.
Cran, I think even many of those into BDSM would share your puzzlement at an erotic activity where death is a real and immediate risk. From what I’ve read, most BDSM is about power exchange, the thrill of deliberate naughtiness and the eroticism of surrender. Much BDSM is no more serious or harmful than the tickling and spanking games some folks play when they are young.
From time to time on the Internet you stumble into a site like the one in the parent post. You just have to shake your head, wonder why, and then try to forget about it.
A solar system is a single star (could be more, but usually single) and the planets and other bodies (if any) that surround it.
A galaxy is a vast celestial construct, formed and shaped by gravity, made up of countless trillions upon trillions of stars, many of which have their own solar system.
A solar system, though large to our understanding, is microscopically small compared to the vast size of a galaxy.
Our solar system is part of a galaxy that is shaped like a spiral. It’s called the Milky Way.
When I was in high school, I knew a couple fellows who enjoyed cutting off there air until they seen stars and felt like they were “floating”. They seemed to be perpetually trying to push the envelop on the human experience. Perhaps this is common among those who constantly “push the envelope”? Are race car drivers, free climbers, rock stars, and Mr. Rogers all hiding the red marks on there necks?
Mr. Rogers isn’t hiding anything, as he’s gone to meet his maker.
A lot of people “huff” solvents and what-not to achieve the same effect. A lot of them die from it, too. It’s a far more dangerous practice than taking drugs in a lot of ways.
