Hi, can you please cite your sources?

I’ve been in the kink scene for a long time, and have researched breath play a lot. In my experiences I’ve found there is very limited ***r reviewed clinical research on the subject. Most of the research I’ve found related to post mortem autoerotic asphyxiation, or martial arts. I’m not saying that breath play is safe, far from it, it’s one of the most dangerous kinks. But some of this info seems questionable. It would be good to see where it came from and do some further reading.

Okay so does this still apply if I’m a masochist? 💀

Thanks for that. Good to know

a main takeaway and a main factor

if the person you are with loses consciousness - you're doing it wrong.  This should NEVER be an aim, and if someone states it as their aim (or you feel wouldn't tell you when they are close to going under) then you simply should not play with them.

No matter what type of breath play you engage in (1) you should be aware of how long someone can hold their breath (2) you should be in a position to release immediately should they tap, you need to, or they have gone ***.  (In the event of going ***, that is the immediate end to the play session) 

If you are doing any form of consensual play which takes the other person by surprise (i.e. they haven't had chance to hold breath or take a deep breath) then you have a *much* shorter window to operate than if they have.

There’s a fabulous person I followed on another site (fetl!fe) called “the kink shrink” and they have previously (and maybe more since I’ve not been on the site) talked about the dangers of this. One of the biggest dangers being that there is no way of knowing how much is too much or how long is too long. It’s interesting stuff (and scary) especially to those of us who enjoy an element of breath play. Knowing that there simply is no safe way to do it whoever you are and however experienced you are is a very sobering thought.

Serendipitouskeeper there is actually a known fact about how much pressure and or how long to apply it and where to apply it, this kink is one that takes time to understand and develop as a Dom and as a sub because a sub who’s used to it may have a longer time before it effects them but a good Dom
Should always know their sub
