Aside from this troll, I had a past experience with a girl that liked to be choked. I don't mean a playful choke, I mean full nelson till she turned blue. I always wondered if she was going to pass out but never did.

She ended up keying both sides of my car w/ "*********" a few weeks later.

She was marriage material.

Erotic asphyxiation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Autoerotic asphyxiation, asphyxiophilia, or breath control play, is the practice of intentionally reducing the amount of oxygen to the brain during sexual stimulation in order to heighten the received pleasure from orgasm.

[edit] Practice
The act of depriving oneself or another of oxygen in order to achieve orgasm is classified officially in the United States as Hypoxyphilia, according to the American Psychiatric Association and as referenced in numerous professional articles discussing the subject. The APA classifies hypoxyphilia as a mental disorder, as noted by the periodical Psychology Today. This, however, has been widely disputed and by many is considered unnecessarily pejorative. Hypoxyphilia falls under the category of psychiatric disorders known as paraphilias, a term that refers to an unusual or unnatural attraction.

A sexual partner may or may not be involved in the act; however, if a sex partner is excluded the practice can be referred to as autoerotic asphyxiation, or AEA. Various methods are used to achieve the level of oxygen depletion needed such as a plastic bag over the head or self-strangulation, typically by the use of a ligature (scarfing). The practice is extremely dangerous and has resulted in many accidental deaths.[1]

Historically, the practice of autoerotic asphyxiation has been documented since the early 1600s. It was first used as a treatment for erectile dysfunction and impotence.[2] The idea for this most likely came from subjects who were executed by hanging. Observers at public hangings noted male victims developed an erection, sometimes remaining after death (death erection), and occasionally ejaculated when being hanged.[3] Note that, however, ejaculation occurs in hanging victims after death because of disseminated muscle relaxation; this is a different mechanism from that sought by AEA practitioners.

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 some people do enjoy incorporating asphyxiophilia into sex with a partner, many individuals enjoy this behavior by themselves, making it potentially more difficult to get out of dangerous situations[4]. Victims are often found to have rigged some sort of "rescue mechanism" which has not worked in the way they anticipated as they lost consciousness.

In some cases autoerotic asphyxiation may have triggered carotid sinus reflex death, but this claim is controversial [citation needed].

With the exception of the books Autoerotic Fatalities by Hazelwood et al. (1983) and Autoerotic Asphyxiation: Forensic, Medical, and Social Aspects by Sheleg et al. (published in 2006) there has been no comprehensive coverage of erotic asphyxiation.[5]

[edit] Famous cases
The composer Frantisek Kotzwara died from erotic asphyxiation in 1791, probably the first recorded case.

It is a popular subject in tabloids and celebrity gossip magazines, particularly when a celebrity dies as a result of suicide or other mysterious circumstances.

The artist Vaughn Bodé died from this cause in 1975.

Progressive Rock musician Kevin Gilbert died from this in 1996, as did drummer Robin Hanssen.

The death in 1994 of Stephen Milligan, the British Conservative MP for Eastleigh, was a case of auto-erotic asphyxiation combined with self-bondage[1].

It is often cited that Michael Hutchence, lead singer for INXS is likely to have died from auto-erotic asphyxiation in 1997, although suicide was the official cause of death.[6]

A more recent case is the death in 2004 of the extreme right-wing National Front party member Kristian Etchells.[2]

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".

Recent court cases have come to varied results as to whether the unintentional death resulting from autoerotic asphyxiation falls under the "self-induced injury" clause of standard life insurance policies, which prevents payouts for suicide within 2-5 years of policy purchase. In June of 2003, one US court said the intent was not death and therefore the case was an accident,[3] while another in August 2003 said it does technically fall within the terms since death is the logical result of asphyxiation.[4]
