Choking..

[angeleyes612]

Better known as erotic asphyxiation, how many of you participate in this act and how far do you go with it?

For me this is my all time favorite. I have never gone to the point of passing out though. my husband will constrict air supply for a specific amount of time then release slightly to allow me to breathe. I have heard someone say that they have been choked to where it cut off blood flow but not air supply not sure how that would work. Thoughts?

We've use it, not often, and just as her climax starts to peak I slowly release my hold on her throat. She is not a talker so I really have to watch her reactions. And from what I see, it's a real turn on.

It started out with me just holding her throat will I masturbated her, and then it progressed.

Do not know your answer to the blood flow and not air restriction, sounds interesting.

[angeleyes612]

No I have not been able to find the thread where that was posted, but I am still looking so I can ask the poster how they did it.

[glitterkitty27]

Hubby and I do this when I am on top. He chokes my neck as I ride him. I gasp for air...total turn on.

[devinity7]

I've never tried it, but I've had men hold my throat as they kissed me and it was an instant turn on, never got a chance to take it further.

Lightly with my hand or a silk tie in missionary. I'd like to try it with the tie during doggie or anal but tend to like looking a partner in the face while I'm doing something like that to make sure the situation's in control.

I've only had a guy do this to me a couple times but it is very hot!

[HeyAll]

Can anyone explain how this scientifically works, and what it feels like?

I've always been curious about this.

I've done this and had it done to me on many occasions, very erotic and enhances the orgasm (male and female) by a considerable amount.

Timing is critical, you can apply moderate pressure for a sustained amount of time without any serious issues, a thick leather collar can be good for this.

Just before the point of orgasm, the pressure can be ramped up considerably. Obviously This is not recommended for anything more than it takes to orgasm, i've never had to exceed 10 seconds.

It's also a question of patience - getting to know what pressure to apply can vary from person to person and takes a few goes to get it right with the same partner.

I was going to say 'trial and error' but that is sooo inappropriate

Just remember one thing: the brain can start to be damaged after 1 minute without oxygen so care needs to be taken with this. Always watch the recipient when applying pressure, never leave a person alone with anything round their neck - ever.

Don't go mad from day one, take some time to explore the limits and gradually work your way up. The results are worth it!

very good advice. It has taken me a long time to find a man that can do this correctly without hurting me. I do like the hurt, but you have to be cautious as well. When done right it should be more pleasure than anything else.

For those that have not tried it and wish to, I would suggest the tap out system. If it starts to hurt too much or you need to breathe simply tap their arm to let them know they need to release or adjust pressure. It will take some time to learn your limits and for them to learn as well but once it becomes a thing of commonplace it should be smooth sailing to amazing orgasms.

I've had a couple of good choking sessions before and I will say it does make my orgasm stronger, especially vaginal orgasms. He did it once while I was taking it doggy style, but I agree with other posters, and think it is safest if you can see each others faces during. I definitely would not do this if I or my partner had any health issues whatsoever.

Choking is ultimately erotic. A squeezing hand on her neck and the look of panic in her eye is fantastic. It's an astounding form of domination.

I love robbing her of the freedom to even breathe. It makes the phrase "living for you Master" really mean something.

It's the lack of oxygen to the brain that causes the intense reaction during orgasm...it's actually much more effective only cutting off the circulation by pressing on the arteries, rather than cutting off air flow. The reaction is quicker and this is the safer route (no risk of accidentally damaging windpipe or larynx, and easier to stop at "brown out" stage and not moving to full blackout). However, in D/s play, the loss of airflow has a much stronger psychological effect due to the control aspect. I tried this quite a bit with my ex (a former combat medic), and found that I still felt like I was giving up control, but felt more secure without the loss of airflow.

Lol it's probably in poor taste, but he did always make me giggle by telling me if he killed me he could bring me back.

Usually restriction of the carotid artery would make you pass out very quickly. Provided the pressure is constant and the blockage fairly full, it should only take a matter of seconds for a healthy person to lose consciousness.

Haha....the point wasn't to pull out the martial arts "disable the enemy" with pressure points. Just a constant gentle pressure towards the end. Outside of the erotic situation of sex, it gives you kind of the same feeling as passing out from heat stroke.

I love it. Laying on my back, being fucked roughly, and his hand wrapped around my throat -- it's the best.

As far as what it feels like, it's like all of my senses are focused on my body even more so than normal. I can feel my heart pounding around his fingertips and echoing in my ears, and my lungs start to burn.

When he kisses me and he wraps those fingers gently around my throat I get wet.

[chanse]

I'm not particularly into this but I would recommend to the first post that you should not try to cut off blood flow, this is be done by pinching down over the carotid arteries. With the blood flow cut off, the brain can be severely damaged in as little as 30 seconds, if pinched incorrectly you can actually pinch off the veins instead of arteries which will not stop blood from pumping in, only pumping out, which can cause almost immediate brain damage such as stroke due to blood vessels bursting in the brain.
As a paramedic I see all kinds of things, this is not something I hope to see. I recommend if you do this to stick with just the regular choking. When you cut off air to your longs there is still enough oxygen in your lungs to keep your brain from being damaged for at least 2 minutes.

[sterculius]

I almost lost consciousness once while I was deepthroating my friend's very thick cock and he was holding my head down so that I was unable to breathe. He finally realized I was about to pass out and released me before I did. I didn't like it but he thought it was exciting
