On Channal 4 (of course) as a little series thing showing the 'Dark Side of Modern Love', they showed 'Sleeping With Teacher', 'Fatal Attraction', 'Sex Addict' and 'Death by Sex'. Last night, in 'Death by Sex', they were taking about Asphyxiophilia (as-fix-e-o-fill-e-a)were people strangle each other while having sex. It showed a man who accidently killed his wife on their third wedding anniverserary. The only reason he isn't in prison or on death row, is that him and his wife had filmed themselves doing it on various other occasions. Have any of you ever heard of, or tried, asphyxiophilia?

Asphyxiophilia
-
Have definitely heard of it. Never tried it nor do I care to. It's stupid and dangerous.
-
Yep, hear of it.. and nope, not ever ever gonna try that one... lethal game that!! Surprised it was shown on tv, given the hullaballoo about that woman that was killed due to such an incident after the guy saw it on the internet!
-
ive heard about but i dont really have the desire to do it, its not my fantasy, and its so dangerous. i think its where you strangle eachother so you cant breath for a while..
i was gonna watch the programm but missed it -
I didn't watch all of it. I don't think I would ever do that. What if something went wrong? It's happened many times.
-
The line between "feels good" and "kills you" is too fine.
-
I dont feel like dying in sex, that might take the fun out of it.
-
The man they showed on it didn't do anything when his wife went unconcious because it had happened on other occasions.
-
I've heard of that. I've been told that the reason for it being sexually arousing is that, when strangulated the certain nerve centers in the brain controlling your reason and, well, intellect so to speak, are momentarily rended unfunctional due to the lack of oxygen, and our more basic, instinctive and sexual nerve centers takes over for a moment. So actually, when done right, this thing gets you into a sexual frenzy for a short period of time. Sounds fun, but I think I'd rather not, since the idea of being strangulated or strangulating someone is a bit unnerving, and it's rather dangerous.
-
it's rather dangerous. It's very dangerous.The main main reason people in some communities take (and then become addicted to) meth is for its sexual effects. That's also very dangerous.
-
Meth? Do you mean this strangulating fetish or something else?
-
Crystal methedrine, the intraveous drug.
-
In reply to: Crystal methedrine, the intraveous drug. It's coming over to England now. They showed what it does to people on BBC news.
-
I have heard of it like how you describe too.
It is suppose to intisify your orgasm, but I would never not try it.
I do sometimes hold my breath for a second when I cum, got to be somewhere along those lines too.
-
I have a strange wish for strangulation. I don't think I'd want someone else to do it, because I'd be scared, but I do strangle myself with my hands and a string of beads. Not so much for sexual pleasure, but for the sensation. So I don't know if it's asphyxiophilia...
-
It has to be said, what you are doing is very dangerous. Think how you’re family would feel if some day they walked in to find you dead because you took this fetish too far.To give you a short story, my ex was a medical officer in the Navy and he was called to another sailor’s room. When he got there he found one of his shipmates naked, hung by the phone cord in his room and of course dead. He was masturbating on the phone with his girlfriend as he was doing erotic asphyxiation and took it too far and ended up hanging himself. Even worse yet my ex had to call his family and explain to them what happened and how he died, they were mortified. So as you can see accidents happen when doing this, whether for sexual pleasure or not it’s something that’s extremely dangerous and in my opinion should not be practiced.
-
I understand it's dangerous. I also don't strangle so strongly that I can't breathe, just enough so it gets harder to. I think it's more the thrill of it than anything else, for me. Sometimes I also hold my breath until I can't any longer (which isn't very long... damned smoker that I am...) But I appreciate your concern. I just haven't told anyone before, so it's weird for me to open up now.
-
Well we are here to help, and not judge.Main this is always be safe if you are going to practice this type of thing. At least you are not going so far to use things like phone cords and such. I hope you stay clear of such things, as my story shows it can be very dangerous.
-
No, see, that would scare me too much. I think it's the whole point of it being hands that does it for me. Anyway, I feel better for telling someone, so thanks! x Vera

A real close friend of the family died a few months ago from this shit, she was only 14. At first it appeared to be a suicide until her friends said that she and others often tried to suffrocate themselfs for a fuckin headrush. Well she didnt make it. :frowning:
