****** asphyxiation

****** asphyxiation refers to intentionally cutting off oxygen to the brain for sexual arousal. It is also called asphyxiophilia, ********** asphyxia, scarfing, kotzwarraism, or breath control play. Colloquially, a person engaging in the activity is sometimes called a gasper. The ****** interest in asphyxiation is classified as a paraphilia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association.

Practice

Various methods are used to achieve the level of oxygen depletion needed, such as a hanging, suffocation with a plastic bag over the head, self-strangulation such as with a ligature, gas or volatile solvents, chest compression, or some combination of these. Sometimes, complicated devices are used to produce the desired effects. The practice can be dangerous even if performed with care and has resulted in a significant number of accidental deaths. Uva (1995) writes “Estimates of the mortality rate range of ********** asphyxia between 250 to 1000 deaths per year in the United States.” Cases have also been reported in Scandinavia and in Germany.

Deaths often occur when the loss of consciousness caused by partial asphyxia leads to loss of control over the means of strangulation, resulting in continued asphyxia and death. While often asphyxiophilia is incorporated into sex with a partner, others enjoy this behavior by themselves, making it potentially more difficult to get out of dangerous situations. Victims are often found to have rigged some sort of "rescue mechanism" that has not worked in the way they anticipated as they lost consciousness.

In some fatality cases, the body of the asphyxiophilic individual is discovered ***** or with genitalia in hand, with pornographic magazines nearby, with ****** or other sex toys present, or with evidence of having orgasmed prior to death. Bodies found at the scene of an accidental death often show evidence of other paraphilic activities, such as fetishistic cross-dressing and masochism. However, in many cases families of these victims may disturb these sites by "sanitizing" them, removing evidence of such paraphilic activities.

In the **** community, interactions of this nature may be referred to as breathplay or sometimes edgeplay, and generally include a partner. Because, like other forms of edgeplay, breathplay pushes the limits of "safe, sane and consensual" activity, situations involving breath control can be assessed using the acronym RACK or Risk Aware Consensual Kink. Partners are generally expected within this community to be cognizant of and responsible for the dangers that they may take part in.

The great majority of known ****** asphyxial deaths are male; among all known cases in Ontario and Alberta from 1974 to 1987, only one out of 117 cases was female. Some individual cases of women with ****** asphyxia have been reported. The mean age of accidental death is mid-20s, but deaths have been reported in adolescents and in men in their 70s.

Lawyers and insurance companies have brought cases to the attention of clinicians because life insurance claims are payable in the event of an accidental death, but not of suicide.

History

Historically, the practice of ********** asphyxiation has been documented since the early 1600s. It was first used as a treatment for erectile dysfunction and impotence. The idea for this most likely came from subjects who were executed by hanging. Observers at public hangings noted male victims developed an ********, sometimes remaining after death (death ********), and occasionally ********** when being hanged. Note that, however, *********** occurs in hanging victims after death because of disseminated muscle relaxation; this is a different mechanism from that sought by AEA practitioners.

Famous cases

The composer Frantisek Kotzwara died from ****** asphyxiation in 1791, probably the first recorded case.

Sada Abe killed her lover, Kichizo Ishida, through ****** asphyxiation in 1936, proceeding to cut off his testicles and carry them in her handbag for a number of days. The case caused a sensation in 1930s Japan and has remained one of the most famous Japanese ****** cases of all time.

Stage and screen actor Albert Dekker was found in 1968 with his body graffitized and a noose around his neck in his bathroom.

The artist Vaughn Bodé died from this cause in 1975.

The death in 1994 of Stephen Milligan, the British Conservative MP for Eastleigh, was a case of ********** asphyxiation combined with self-bondage.

Kevin Gilbert, a songwriter, musician, composer, producer and collaborator died of apparent ********** asphyxiation in 1996.

Michael Hutchence, lead singer of INXS is rumored to have died from auto-****** asphyxiation in 1997, although suicide was the official cause of death.

A more recent case is the death in 2004 of the British National Front party member Kristian Etchells.

On March 28, 2007, the New York Times had a front-page story on a teenager who had suffered a heart attack and spent three days in a coma after hanging himself for a "rush"., in what appeared to be an instance of a choking game.

Herceg v. Hustler. Diane Herceg sued Hustler Magazine for the death of her 14 year old son, Troy D., who had experimented with ********** asphyxia after reading about it in that publication.

In 2009, a coroner ruled that English stand-up comedian Martin Cassidy died from asphyxia due to breathing laughing gas while watching *********** on his laptop computer.






NOW it's a wierd thread...

[NEp8ntballer]

just typing ****** asphyxiation would have been plenty weird and plenty random. that seemed to be funnier.

 

[Izzmo]

Sweet.. now I know how to spell 'asphyxiation'
