Sexual asphyxia is a fairly common phenomenon in the modern world, which is based on blocking the air during intercourse to achieve more acute and enchanting sensations. And, although few people admit to being addicted to this type of adrenaline boost, world statistics show a completely different story. For example, in the United States, approximately 1,000 people die each year.
Sexual asphyxia and its history
Oddly enough, but the so-called erotic asphyxia has its own history. Many centuries ago, information appeared about the use of strangulation during sexual intercourse, followed by the death of a partner. The first mentions relate to the methods of torture, as well as occult rituals. For example, as early as the 13th century BC, in the territory of the ancient Roman Empire, it was in this way that naughty slaves and maids were punished.
But the inhabitants of Ancient Russia invested a slightly different idea in such a process. It was believed that if the partner (or partner) will die immediately after sexual intercourse or even during it, then the person will have the opportunity to take possession of the soul and vitality of the deceased.
But in the modern world, sexual asphyxia has long ceased to be considered abuse or torture - women and men are consciously doing this to enhance feelings. And the first surge in popularity falls on the 80s of the twentieth century. Of course, the death of one of the partners is a rarity, an accident.
Sexual asphyxia: physiological point of view
Despite all the risks, more and more couples are starting to use this practice. And then the question arises: why, in fact, risk your life for pleasure?
The answer is quite simple - the pleasure of such sexual intercourse is really much stronger. The fact is that during the closure of the respiratory tract begins the development of hypoxia - oxygen starvation, which primarily affects the brain. Accordingly, the vessels expand, and oxygen deficiency affects just that area of the brain that is responsible for orgasm and causes real euphoria.
Sexual asphyxia: interesting facts :
- Most fans of this kind of sexual relationship are men between the ages of 20 and 30.
- In order to cause hypoxia, almost all possible methods are used - strangulation with the help of ropes, strong squeezing of the chest, blocking the respiratory tract with foreign bodies (rags, balls), placing the head in a container without access to air (plastic bags), and the use of special medications.
- Men during this act are much more careful than women.
- Most admirers of asphyxia also found psychological disorders, for example, a tendency to sadomasochism, self-doubt , etc.
Sexual asphyxia: first aid
As already mentioned, such activities are fraught with very sad consequences, since respiratory arrest is possible. In the absence of oxygen, permanent changes in the brain tissue begin, which can cause serious deviations in the functioning of the human body. And about 4-6 minutes after the cessation of breathing, a person dies.
That is why you need to master the techniques of first aid for asphyxiation. If a person fainted, and his skin began to turn blue, then it is necessary to lay him on his back and several times push his palm below the ribs. Shots should be strong, but not too much. If breathing is not restored, artificial respiration and, if necessary, cardiac massage should be done. And, of course, call an ambulance crew.
It is also interesting that methods of achieving orgasm by suffocation can be replaced. For example, there are a number of Tibetan breathing practices that allow you to independently cause mild hypoxia, and it is in those parts of the brain that are responsible for sexual pleasure. True, the development of this method requires time and effort, but it is much safer for life.
