Breath Control Play

Definition:

Breath Control Play refers to a form of sexual activity or BDSM practice that involves controlling or manipulating an individual’s breathing for erotic pleasure or arousal.

Subcategories:

• Choking: Involves applying pressure to the neck or throat of the submissive partner to restrict airflow momentarily.
• Smothering: Involves covering or blocking the submissive partner’s nose and mouth to regulate their access to oxygen.
• Hyperventilation: Involves intentionally inducing rapid or shallow breathing patterns to intensify sensations or alter consciousness.
• Asphyxiation: Involves a more advanced level of breath control play where oxygen supply is partially or completely cut off for brief periods, often using devices or intricate techniques.

Safety Precautions:

• Explicit and ongoing consent from all parties involved is crucial.
• Clear communication and established safe words/signals to ensure immediate cessation when needed.
• Education about potential risks, including lack of oxygen, nerve damage, and unintended injuries.
• Never attempt breath control play while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Always start with mild techniques and progress gradually, respecting individual limits and comfort levels.
• Continuous monitoring of the submissive partner’s well-being and signs of distress during the activity.

Disclaimer:

Breath Control Play can be extremely dangerous and should only be practiced by experienced individuals who have proper knowledge, training, and a clear understanding of the associated risks. It is important to prioritize safety, consent, and open communication within any BDSM or sexual activity.
