So, a friend of mine and I were talking today with a co-worker. This co-worker (we shall call him Dennis for now) has recently discovered Erotic Asphyxiation, and is fascinated by it. Now, I do not believe that Dennis practices erotic asphyxiation, not quite sure he is smart enough to have precautions to prevent his own demise to be honest with you. And in no way would I recommend, condone, or endorse erotic asphyxiation to him, or anyone else for that matter. I firmly believe that breathing is essential. Orgasm is awesome, yes. But not essential (no matter what you may think, it isn't). Breathing = essential.
Still, the fact he is fascinated is amusing to me. You see, Dennis is a rather "off beat" character. Exceptionally personable, seemingly engaging, charismatic, but amazingly naive in so many ways. The dude is 25 years old. SURELY, at some point in the maturation process, this guy has run across porn, Penthouse Forum, guy talk, erotic stories, hell - ANYTHING. But, no. Dennis is cruising through life oblivious to so, so many things. It is sad, yet funny at the same time. It is almost as though we are trying to raise the guy.
My friend and I pointed out to Dennis that many people die in the act of erotic asphyxiation. David Carradine (from Television's Kung Fu or the movie Kill Bill) died from auto-erotic asphyxiation recently. Michael Hutchence (lead singer of INXS) is suspected of dying in an erotic asphyxiation session, although the official cause of death is listed as suicide. In the novel "Rising Sun" by Michael Crichton and many other novels, one of the characters dies while having sex and erotic asphyxiation comes into play.
This is dangerous stuff kiddies. There are many who enjoy it, claim that the orgasm is so much more powerful. Personally, I prefer to keep breathing.
