EROTIC ASPHYXIATION

EROTIC ASPHYXIATION

Why people like it

Erotic asphyxiation is liked mostly by kinksters that love playing the submissive role- they feel good surrendering their power and trust to their partners. Some people like it because they feel deeply connected to their partners through so much communication during sex. Also, such people feel more sexual intensity with heightened sensation due to more feel good hormones release compared to normal sex.

 The science behind it

There’s a relationship between suffocation and sexual stimulation. Lack of enough oxygen or loss of breathing alerts the body of a danger that causes endorphins and adrenaline production. The two hormones are great contributors to amazing sexual arousal that can offer ultimate sexual satisfaction.

How to do it safely

Breathplay involves applying some pressure on the carotid arteries shortly. Locate them by placing fingers immediately below your jaw’s side. You will notice the target pulse. I recommend you avoid the area around the throat holding the vocal cords and larynx because they may cause injuries and excessive discomfort. Advisably, this sex play requires extreme care because it can result in adverse health risks, including death.
