Asphyxiation...

[alexa_82]

Hi all, I hope you can help me out with a few questions!

Ever since I started masturbating from a very young age, I discovered that I could make my orgasm come faster and be more intense if I held my breath until just before cuming. Since then every time I masturbate I have always done this, but have never incorporated it into sex with any partners - until recently.

We have been exploring this side of things but I am trying to find my comfort zone... but any advice would be appreciated. I'd really like to talk to people who are into this or have explored this side of things.

I know I don't want to be gagged or to be forced 'not to breathe' by my partner, rather I think I would prefer to have that control over it myself, but not sure what would be the best option. How do you do it?

All advice taken on board!

Here is what I wrote in this thread, which you might find interesting.

I really enjoy the sensation of being choked but it's something that Master does rarely. Breathplay, yes, but not choking.

I have epilepsy so choking me is risky as it not only stops me breathing but also cuts off the blood supply to my brain. He does do it occasionally but never when I'm restrained or gagged, never for more than a few seconds and always while watching my expression closely.

Breathplay for us is when he puts his hand over my mouth and nose or cuts off my breathing with his cock. I am much safer with this kind of play because the blood supply through the neck is not affected.

For me though, it is an ultimate expression of control. To be literally dependent upon him for my next breath is an intense feeling. We have a very strong bond of trust and he is very responsible with this type of play but I agree with other posters here that it's not for everyone.

It's a measure of how much it turns me on that we have sought to keep breathplay in our repertoire despite the risks regarding epilepsy. So far, we've had no bad experiences with it.

Strange, I found the opposite to be true with me. I tend to hold my breath and have to constantly remind myself to BREATHE during masturbation and orgasm. My orgasms are much stronger and last longer when I let everything flow and breathe. As far as making them come on faster, I prefer to keep myself on the edge of orgasm as long as I can...and then allow myself to cum when I can't stand it any longer. I don't want to orgasm quickly. I like my orgasm to be the ending of an intense, long lasting, pleasurable, masturbation session, getting there fast is never my goal.

Funny, I have the exact same reaction though I really never orgasm. I find myself holding my breath during a intense scene. It's actually led to us both breaking down laughing as I end up gasping for breath. Though I find that whenever she does breath play I always end up wondering about brain damage, one of those irrational fears that's in the back of your mind, we don't do anything near extreme enough to cause it.
